3D Printing - Startup Digest - We Will Print a Wall - November 11th - November 18th

Startup Digest

3D Printing

November 11, 2016

While I don't care about either candidate, I had $1k in favor of Trump winning, so I did okay ;)

The U.S Election was certainly hit with the Shy Tory Factor and was oddly reminiscent of the 1948 election between Dewey and Truman.  

My advice: never depend on a politician for your well being. 

Anyway, in this week's digest, we will be covering:

1.) Tend.ai raising $2M
2.) Sony's new patents
3.) Unfortunate accidents
4.) 3D Printing textiles
5.) Some crowdfunding campaigns
6.) Printing the universe

That's about it.

I've been hitting the audio books quite hard these days. Currently going through Conversations with God, which is very interesting.

Anyway,
See you next week!

[NEWS] - Tend.ai raises $2M

Devin Coldewey - techcrunch.com

Remember Tend.ai? The stealth startup with the robotic arm? I covered it a long time ago. They just raised $2M and are focused on bringing smaller scale industrial robots to small and medium sized businesses. 

[NEWS] - Sony files patent for 3D Printing game characters

Anatol Locker - all3dp.com

Interesting idea. It looks like Sony might be interested in enabling millions of their Playstation users to be able to 3D Print characters from their video games. Presuming this all plays out in their favor, it brings out interesting implications about the traditional merchandising model. 

[NEWS] - 3D Printer related death

Telegraph Reporters - telegraph.co.uk

Unfortunate accident. I have also used hairspray on a glass print bed to improve adhesion and I never thought of a potential spark igniting the can of hairspray. Also, looks like this kid bought a very low end 3D Printer on ebay (judging by the low price) with bad wiring/electrical issues. Very unfortunate accident. 

[INDUSTRY] - 3D Printing for Knitting?

Fabbaloo - fabbaloo.com

This is about Kniterate, which is an (unreleased) platform that's meant to make it simple for anyone to design and print garments at home without knowing how to knit.

[INDIEGOGO] - The Pocket 3D printer

Pocket Maker - indiegogo.com

This is a crowd funding campaign for a pocket 3D Printer made by a chinese manufacturer. It looks super small and I can't confirm it's efficacy, but it's certainly interesting. 

[KICKSTARTER] - A Fine Quality Resin 3D Printer

Team Owl Works - kickstarter.com

Interesting Kickstarter (that's doing quite well). The idea is to release an affordable Resin printer for consumers at FDM prices. 

[DIY] - The Universe

Sculpteo - sculpteo.com

These guys 3D Printed the universe (not to scale obviously). If you are interested in obtaining the file(s), you can get those here

Remember operator billing?

Operator billing was once thought to be the perfect mobile commerce platform. But for various reasons, it failed to pick up traction. Learn why, and find out about the new future of m-commerce, here.
