3D Printing | May 06, 2016 |
Hello there boys and girls.
In this week's digest, we will cover:
1.) The most expensive (and slightly creepy) 3D Printed Mother's Day gift(s)
2.) Cheerleader Uniforms & Intellectual Property
3.) Bashing 3D Printed tumors
4.) Disney filing patents for a super fast 3D Printer
Hope you are doing well.
We moved our office to a temporary location in Downtown San Diego till we find a good spot. (We are still 3D Printing stuff on a daily basis though!)
In any case, just hit reply if you have any questions/comments/suggestions about this digest or 3D Printing ;)
Until next time,

| METRO Accelerator kicks off second round together with Techstars  METRO Accelerator, powered by Techstars, is commencing the application process for its second program for startups, whose digital services and companies could give a direct boost to the commercial success of restaurants, hotels and catering businesses. From now until June 20, interested startups from all over the world can submit an application for the program on www.metroaccelerator.com. | | Groupon This is quite amusing. It's a groupon deal where you could send your mom a life sized, 3D Printed replica of yourself so you could keep her in company without being home -- all for the low price of $30,000. | | Michael Weinberg - michaelweinberg.org This is an interesting case study about intellectual property and 3D Printing.
'Severability' is the test that US courts use to figure out which parts of things that are both functional and decorative can be protected by copyright (if any). There is now a new test to determine this in part of the United States.
The test itself (arguably the tenth test currently being used) doesn't bring a lot more clarity to the issue, but is an excuse to walk through how all of this works. Most of this blog post just explains how the court applied the test in this one case. | | University of Michigan - YouTube This is a fun story. Casey is a 10-year-old with cancer and they decided to let Casey smash a 3D Printed replica of his tumor (named 'Boris') in front of his class. This is certainly an unintended use of 3D Printing. | | ibtimes.co.uk Mattel is reviving its classic "Thingmaker" as a 3D Printer (which will be released later this year)... and it's interesting to see Disney (and potentially Apple) also jumping in to play the game. | | Thingiverse If you need any ideas on what to 3D Print next, try this. It's a fun (and simple) design that is movable. It's a perfect print for kids as well!
