3D Printing | August 12, 2016 |
I just started listening to the audio version of Kevin Kelly's book, The Inevitable: Understanding the 12 Technological Forces That Will Shape Our Future -- Highly Recommended. Check it out: http://amzn.to/290Rl8Z
If you want to get a sneak peak into the future and get a leg up on what's to come (including 3D Printing) -- this would be my book recommendation for this week.
Other than that, in this week's digest, we'll be covering:
1.) EU and 3D Printing copyright
2.) Industry analysis
3.) Painting 3D Printed objects
4.) BMW suing Turbosquid
5.) Using 3D Printing to bring back rare artifacts and enhance learning
That's all folks!
As always, feel free to get in touch if you have any questions / comments about 3D Printing.
Your neighborhood 3D Printing Geek,

This follows a decision in the European Union, where member states are required to adhere to such an order. This change means that people will be prohibited from using 3D printing and other maker technologies to manufacture such objects, and that for a full century.
Do I think this would hold up? NOPE. Remember Napster? Napster for physical objects is inevitable and 3D Printing will be the vehicle.
| | IDC - businesswire.com This is a recent update where IDC forecasts global revenues for the 3D printing market to reach $35.4 billion in 2020. This is more than double the $15.9 billion in revenues forecast for 2016 and represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.1% over the 2015-2020 forecast period. | | Josh Mings - solidsmack.com Ever wonder what's the best way to paint a 3D Printed object to enhance it's look? This is a pretty good example of how much one could really improve by post processing a 3D Printed object. | | Solidsmack - fabbaloo.com Speaking of copyright infringement, BMW of North America, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, and and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars NA have filed suit against Turbosquid, 3D model marketplace for professionals who need high quality 3D assets. This might set a precedent. | | Thomas Mead - newshub.co.nz University of Canterbury researchers recently started 3D Printing exact replicas of rare artifacts stored in their collection to allow classics students to handle the material during lessons.
This is pretty cool.
Also, a powerful learning experience, as students can actually touch and feel these rare artifacts without destroying the originals.
