[ARTICLE] - Oculus Medium & 3D Printing

Adario Strange - mashable.com

I mentioned last week about some Interesting VR apps that would help you with modeling 3D designs for 3D Printing. This is a mashable article reinforcing much of the same points I made last week. 

[ARTICLE] - The next 25 years of 3D Printing

Sarah Goehrke - 3dprint.com

I forgot to mention that Inside 3D Printing is happening in San Diego. This article contains some bite sized quotes about the next 25 years of 3D Printing by Hod Lipson. While you read it, keep in mind that every expert has gotten the most fundamental use case of pretty much every disruptive technology thus far.

Also, apologies for the shitty website with poor anchor text linking. I realize that it's a huge pain in the ass to read :( At the very minimum, I hope you have an AD Blocker. 

[ARTICLE] - The History of 3D Printing

Hannah Bensoussan - sculpteo.com

If you've ever wondered about the history of 3D Printing, the following is a good summary. Yes, it's 30+ years old. 

[DIY] - How to post process your prints

Makerbot - makerbot

Makerbot printers aren't the greatest, but, this guide is quite good for getting a introductory level overview on how to post-process your 3D Printed designs. 

[WHITEPAPER] - Turn a 3D Printable model into an instrument

Andrew Liszewski - gizmodo.com

The article title says "Simple Software" -- but I couldn't find any software. All I could find was a geeky, math heavy whitepaper on how to turn a 3D printable model into a playable instrument. 

A simple online tool to do the conversion would be incredible. 

[GUIDE] - Top 8 CAD Software for KIDS

Capucine Lonjon - sculpteo.com

If you are an educator or work with kids/technology -- you might find this guide helpful for introducing them into computer aided design and 3D Printing. Additionally, if your kids need ideas on what to 3D Print, try using this site.

[COMPANY] - Vectary, an online 3D Modeling platform

Josh Mings - solidsmack.com

Looks like Vectary will have a lot of potential in the cloud based 3D Modeling space. If you are unfamiliar with this new company (who just came out of beta) -- this is a good introduction.

Model of the week: T-Rex Skull

BLB Industries - Facebook.com

This is a cool print. It weighs almost 200 LBs (about 90kg) and took about 24 hours to complete on a custom printer.
