3D Printing | September 23, 2016 |
Hope you are well.
As an omnivore, I have been experimenting with vegan recipes (like sprouted lentils etc.) lately. It's a tough deal to switch over, but I am slowly warming up to the benefits.
Also, I have been perusing the Greylock Partners YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/greylockpartners -- some exceptionally high quality startup related talks in there. Check it out.
Anyway, back to 3D Printing...
In this digest, we'll be covering:
1.) 3D Printing playable Vinyl records
2.) UPS Expanding to Asia
3.) The Robo3D Kickstarter
4.) New Makerbot products
5.) The Defense Distributed Gun appeal
That's about it.
As always, please hit reply if you have any comments, suggestions or if you'd like to just chat.
Until next time my friend,
Dilanka | How mobile commerce really works  Americans are now doing almost 33% of their online shopping on mobile devices. But what happens when you click “buy” isn’t as simple as it seems. A lot has to happen at lightning speed, with ironclad security, for mobile commerce to work. Check out this infographic, which lays out the entire process, by clicking here.
| Want to support diversity in tech?  Throughout September, Betabrand will donate $5 from every Dress Pant Yoga Pants purchase to the Techstars Foundation, a nonprofit working to improve diversity in technology entrepreneurship. | | Amanda Ghassaei - vimeo.com This is mad cool. If you are a fan of vinyl records, this should make you giddy. It's a method to convert digital audio files into a 3D Printable record that would play on ordinary record players. Oh, and it's over 4+ years old. I LOVE this type of thing. | | UPS - UPS UPS's partner Fast Radius will be opening a 3D printing factory in a UPS facility in Singapore by the end of this year, expanding the UPS on-demand 3D printing network to Asia. | | robo3D - kickstarter.com For folks interested in 3D Printing related Kickstarters. These two printers are from Robo3D and they met their funding goal in less than 24 hours after launch! Pretty cool! Also, if you remember, last week I mentioned that Robo3D was acquired by Falcon. | | Makerbot - makerbot.com Makerbot announced a bunch of (surprising) new stuff this week: a new mobile app, desktop software, new materials and a few 3D Printers. It all seems to be focused on the education and the professional market. Makerbot doesn't have the greatest perception among 3D Printer owners due to their faulty hardware after the acquisition - nevertheless, this seems to be a move aimed at turning a new leaf. | | Andrew Blake - washingtontimes.com If you are unfamiliar, Austin based Defense Distributed is the main entity behind creating digital blueprints for 3D Printable guns. They lost their appeal this week. In it's split decision Tuesday, a panel of appellate court judges agreed with the State Dept. that allowing Defense Distributed to upload further blueprints would endanger national security because it would enable Americans and foreigners alike to amass untraceable guns that can be made with ease.
