"Based on hundreds of hours of interviews, Fabricated explores the promise and peril of a 3D printed present and future"

"Sort of like a copy/paste for real-world objects, the Digitizer works using two lasers and a webcam. The webcam sees where the lasers are shining off of an item, and wraps all those points up into a plan for a 3D model that can then be printed."

It's like living in the future. You want something, you press a button and a machine in your home starts producing it. Print in 3D puts the power to create in the hands of ordinary people, like US!

"Computer scientist Gershon Elber and his lab at Technion Israel Institute of Technology wrote software that helps people design real objects that create certain illusions when viewed at exactly the right angle"

In Denver, USA 

"..is offering that experience starting next week (March 23 at 1 p.m.). For $30, inquiring minds will be able to design a simple beer bottle opener that includes their initials and watch the 3D manufacturing process while enjoying a beverage and some light snacks."

"..artificial body tissue is 3D printed on demand using the latest regenerative and bio-engineering medical technologies."

"..by New York designer and finished by using 3D printing technology, containing 3000 connection sections, with embedded 12,000 Swarovski crystals..is tailored to the size..''

"..have a look at the range of  benefits this emerging technology already delivers. The cost-effective, high quality and unique features of the 3D printed objects along with the continuous development of additive manufacturing have already led to an explosion of 3D printing applications, and this is only the beginning."

"3D printing could severely disrupt China’s manufacturing sector, especially in industries that produce small plastic objects (buttons, coat hangers, cups, combs, and on and on) that could be easily replaced by 3D printed objects once 3D printers are affordable enough to be widespread."

3D Printing was one of the key topics at SXSW in Austin, TX last week. Not alone due to the keynote by MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis. 3D Printing is

Two years ago, a Dutch student named Dirk Vander Kooij was designing furniture and preparing for his graduation project when he was inspired by an old 3D printer. So he got his hands on an industrial robot from a Chinese production line and reprogrammed it into a 3D printer to print furniture using recycled materials from old refrigerators."

3D printing is an innovative rapid prototyping technology where molten plastic is laid down (printed) layer by layer to produce a 3 dimensional object. This is known as "additive manufacturing" as material is added to form the model rather than being machined off as in normal (subtractive manufacturing) forms of production."

"A revolutionary medical milestone has been reached in the United States, and its origins are in Connecticut. For the first time, a polymer skull implant created from a 3D printer was used in surgery in the U.S., and that implant was designed and manufactured at Oxford Performance Materials (OPM) of South Windsor."

“..brought to our attention, Makerbot and Adafruit really do make an awesome duo. Think about it: one makes 3D printers, the other sells Arduino boards and pretty much everything else a tinkerer could possibly want.. just heard they've started selling a limited edition version of Makerbot's Replicator 2 3D printer, which will come bundled with three DIY kits you'd normally buy on a site like Adafruit. These include the Raspberry Pi, which you all know very well, along with the Timesquare DIY Watch Kit and MintyBoost, the open-source hardware charger.”
