 | | 3D Printing | February 26, 2016 |
Boys and girls.
I have been experimenting with a bunch of cool types of filament with my 3D Printer lately. Filament made with beer, coffee, glow in the dark material, carbon fiber, wood, etc.
Fun times.
Anyway...
I am tired of all these 3D Printing pundits whining about 3D Printing being "HUGE" by a certain year or date.
It's damn exhausting.
If I wanted unqualified future predictions, I would simply read a horoscope in my local newspaper. So, ignore the '2025' on the link below -- the rest of the article is not too shabby.
By the way, in last week's digest, I discussed the implications of people pirating PHYSICAL OBJECTS and its effect on INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.
I forgot to let you know about an interesting incident in Berlin where two artists secretly scanned the 3,000 Year Old Bust of Queen Nefertiti and released the 3D Printable files online. I have included a link to the story below.
Anyway...
If you have any questions, comments, suggestions, hate mail, etc.. hit that reply button and let me know.
Ultimately, this digest is a reflection of what YOU want to know about 3D Printing, and your feedback will play a key role in influencing the curation process.
Thanks for reading.
Until next time.
Ciao,
Dilanka

Quite entertaining. | | Peter Rugg - Inverse.com 3D Printing ain't about just people printing Yoda heads and other useless crap en masse. The democratization of manufacturing is no joke. This is a quick and interesting read about how privacy could be a big factor in regular old humans getting their beaks wet with 3D Printing. | | YouTube The basic concept of a 3D Printer is quite simple. Given this fact, one could 3D Print virtually anything. You may have heard about some Chinese company '3D printing houses', but have you seen the process? This is how it looks like. | | Kjell Lindgren - YouTube This is all for my nerds and geeks. Here's a fun little video with astronaut Kjell Lindgren using a 3D printed device to brew fresh coffee in the international space station. | | | You are receiving this email because you believe that the best startup articles and videos are made by active members of the startup community.
