Remember how, in "Star Trek," Captain Picard could tell a computer "tea, Earl Grey, hot" and, voilà, out of thin air, a hot, Early Grey tea would appear on a tray? That computer was called a Replicator. What it did was use software made of bits to create objects made of atoms. Believe it or not, replicators of a sort have already existed outside of science fiction for years.

To me, a good sex toy helps form feedback loops. It doesn't get in the way. A good toy gives you simple ways of exchanging signals with a partner or with your own body. It acts as a conduit. A good sex toy is analog.

3D systems has filed a lawsuit against both Formlabs and Kickstarter for patent infringement. Formlabs is the manufacturer of a low-cost 3D printer called the Form 1. Thanks to the stereolithography printing technique, the Form 1 can achieve professional grade 3D printing in a small hobbyist printer.

Home use of 3D printing systems will be the fastest growing market for the technologies, according to a speaker at Expoplast12. “North American demand is about $1.7 billion in products and services,” said Vincent Laithier, sales manager of Axis Prototypes, a 3D printing and prototype producer based in Saint-Leonard, Quebec. “The market will double in size in the next four years, primarily from home printers.”

Véritable laboratoire de fabrique temporaire, doté des outils de prototypage mis à disposition, chacun pourra appréhender les machines seul ou accompagné, mais aussi choisir leur utilisation : de la réparation d’objets, manivelles, supports à la simple découverte, ou encore la construction du buisson de la biodiversité… vu par le prisme de l’évolution.

Mass Production. The implication is that localized individualized production will supplant the current manufacturing paradigm with a third industrial revolution. We will all become manufacturers and make exactly what we want using 3D printing. Although I applaud such optimism and would postulate that 3D printing will bring about a third industrial revolution I don’t think it is “going to go down” in that way.

Scientists are developing new materials which could one day allow people to print out custom-designed personal electronics such as games controllers which perfectly fit their hand shape. The University of Warwick researchers have created a simple and inexpensive conductive plastic composite that can be used to produce electronic devices using the latest generation of low-cost 3D printers designed for use by hobbyists and even in the home.

Scientists at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have created a hybrid 3D printer that’s able to manufacture implantable cartilage for regenerative use in patients. The team combined traditional inkjet printing with electrospinning, a method that uses an electrical current to create extremely fine fibers from plastic polymers.
