Startup Digest

3D Printing

July 29, 2016

Hey you.

How are things?

Recently, I found a great Chrome plugin called "Facebook News Feed Eradicator" -- it kills my News Feed and shows an inspiring quote instead.

What a difference has it made! No more negativity, nonsense, or useless news stories.

Anyway...

In this week's digest, we will cover:

1.) Metal 3D Printing Patents
2.) Penguin getting a 3D Printed boot
3.) Criminal's stealing cargo's while using 3D Printing
4.) California legislation on Gun Control 
5.) TSA Locks Hacked Again

That's about it.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions/suggestions. Just hit reply.

Thanks again! See you next week!

P.S: I will be in NYC this weekend for Affiliate Summit, if you wan't to grab coffee, hit me up.

Metal 3D Printing: The Next Stage of the 3D Printing Revolution?

Filemon Schoffer - techcrunch

Later this year, key patents for 3D Printing with metal will expire. This means that, like consumer 3D Printing, a lot of companies will start making products and printers exploiting these patents. Interesting read. 

Penguin Gets New 3D Printed Boot

Avianne Tan - abc

Cute story. A group of middle school students used 3D Printing to print out a new boot for an injured penguin. If you've been following this digest, you should be familiar with 3D printing helping a wide array of injured animals get back up on their feet (cats, dogs, ducks, turtles, etc.). Also, what a great way for kids to learn about technology!

Criminal uses of 3D Printing: Physical Theft

general fabb - fabbaloo.com

Interesting use of 3D printing: criminal's stealing cargo from shipping containers by replacing the broken cargo seal with a 3D printed one. Within the past year, TSA's master keys leaked online, and a bunch of artists broke into a museum in Berlin to secretly scan the bust of queen Nefertiti (2000+ years old) and leak it online. There's likely much more of this to come. 

New Legislation in California for 3D Printed Guns

VICE - vice.com

On Friday, California Governor Jerry Brown signed into law legislation requiring anyone who makes or assembles a homemade firearm (i.e: 3D printed) to apply for a serial number or "other mark of identification" from the state Department of Justice. This means passing a background check. What do you think? Do you agree or not?

TSA Locks Hacked Again

Tom Brant - pcmag.com

So, if you weren't aware, in 2014, The Washington post (inadvertently) posted a picture of the TSA's (Transportation and Security Administration) master keys and a bunch of hackers leaked 3D Printable versions of them. See: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2015/09/tsa_master_keys.html

Well, apparently, another TSA Lock has been hacked and 3D printable versions of the master key has been released.
