3D Printing | August 05, 2016 |
Hey you.
It's an interesting week for consumer 3D Printing as two major companies raised money in their Series B rounds. (3D Hubs and Formlabs).
Judging by these action(s) - Investors are clearly in touch with the implications of 3D Printing.
Anyway, in this weeks digest, we will be covering:
1.) Formlabs raising $35M
2.) 3D Hubs raising $7M
3.) What happens when your fiance challenges your 3D Printing habits?
4.) Bioprinting
5.) Teaching kids 3D Printing and engineering
6.) How 3D Printing will drive personalization
That's it!
How have you been?
As always, if you have any ideas on how I could improve this digest to match your needs, feel free to hit reply and let me know.
After all, this digest is 100% for you and you have the power to influence it's direction.

In addition to 3D Hubs, Formlabs also raised an additiona $35M in a Series B round. | | KeepGettingTexts on reddit - imgur.com This is quite amusing. This guy's soon to be wife asked him why he never uses his 3D Printer to print anything useful. His response was this. 😂 | | Nature - nature.com This is a bit of a technical paper regarding Bioprinting -- which is supposed to be a ~$4b+ market by 2020. If you are interested in the topic, this nature paper might of use to you. | | laykanics - laykanics If you are an educator or a parent interested in teaching 3D Printing to your kids, check out laykanics.
