T-zine : Grootste 3D-printernetwerk van België van start | Made Different | Scoop.it

Het bedrijf 3D Hubs lanceert op 28 mei Belgisch grootste netwerk van 3D-printers. Filosofie achter het project is dat consumenten niet langer zelf een dure 3D-printer hoeven aan te schaffen, maar dat ze hun ontwerp laten afdrukken bij een lid van een community van professionelen of enthousiastelingen ‘om de hoek’. Antwerpen bijt volgende week het spits af met een hub van vijftien 3D-printers.

I couldn't agree more with Bill on this. It is an issue of effectiveness versus efficiency. In all support activities, the first order of business is to improve effectiveness. Then it is OK to worry about efficicency. First, get the right things done, then worry about getting them done right. In manufacturing, it applies to logistics, maintenance, QA, engineering. HR, etc., as well as to Accounting.

Stanford scientists develop new type of solar structure that cools buildings in full sunlight

Stanford scientists develop new type of solar structure that cools buildings in full sunlight | Made Different | Scoop.it

Homes and buildings chilled without air conditioners. Car interiors that don't heat up in the summer sun. Tapping the frigid expanses of outer space to cool the planet. Science fiction, you say? Well, maybe not any more.
A team of researchers at Stanford has designed an entirely new form of cooling structure that cools even when the sun is shining. Such a structure could vastly improve the daylight cooling of buildings, cars and other structures by reflecting sunlight back into the chilly vacuum of space.
