 | | 3D Printing | February 10, 2017 |
Happy Friday!
I F**KED up last week.
I compiled a digest, but forgot to submit it because of the over stimulation of Las Vegas.
That's okay -- sometimes the universe forces you to take a break from 3D printing :)
How are things with you?
I've been really into a guy named Dan Pena lately -- he's a brutally honest 73 year old Mexican American that lives in a Castle in Scotland. He's got some really good stuff -- plus he's insanely entertaining. (For example, here's a clip of him explaining Why You're Poor) -- Check him out.
Anyway, today we'll be covering:
1.) An unfortunate incident
2.) 3D Printed weapons and it's legality
3.) A 3D Printed bridge in Madrid
4.) A Swedish Musician's song
5.) Intellectual property and 3D Printing
6.) A bunch of Kickstarters
7.) Investments by BMW & Lowes
8.) Autodesk CEO Stepping down
9.) Educators finding 3D Printing difficult
10.) A DIY Guide
All in all -- a solid digest.
As always, feel free to hit me up anytime with questions, suggestions etc.
Until next time my friend,
Dilanka.

Learn how you can become a Diversity Leader. | | Cheyenne Roundtree - dailymail.co.uk This is an unfortunate incident, but for the life of me, I don't understand why this journalist didn't pay attention to the INCREDIBLY misleading (and inaccurate) reference(s) to 3D Printers. The probability of this happening from a standard consumer 3D Printer is very unlikely. This likely happened from a expensive printer that uses liquid plastics and resins. Any ideas? | | Richard Matthews - econotimes.com Good read. | | Phoebe Weston - dailymail.co.uk Apparently humans are 3D Printing pedestrian bridges at parks. | | Bob Boilen - npr.org Now, this is cool -- and yes, the first verse mentions 3D Printing.
| | Cabe Atwell - solidsmack.com Interesting company. Based on the history of the internet, I am EXTREMELY skeptical about DRM (digital rights management) and copy protection mechanisms.
If there's enough demand for a digital resource, I doubt any company could prevent people from breaking the encryption.
Napster for physical objects seems to be an inevitability. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong. Another company in the same space is Source3. | | Nicola Piovesan - kickstarter.com This is a cool project. These guys are creating a short sci-fi flick resembling the 1980's without using any CGI effects. One of the ways they are accomplishing this is by using 3D Printing. | | Christopher Robertson - kickstarter.com Interesting project. ToyBuilderLabs has a tool for similar purposes as well. | | Lara Kolodny - techcrunch.com Desktop Metal has received a big cash injection from BMW and Lowes. Considering that the CEO of Desktop Metal has experience with bringing a $1B company to public IPO -- the connections with VC's is a certainly a good thing. No idea about the product or value proposition as I couldn't find much online. | | bloomberg.com - Bloomberg Looks like Carl Bass is stepping down as CEO of Autodesk. | | Clare McDonald - computerweekly.com It's unfortunate that so many teachers are having a difficult time with using 3D Printing in their classes. Other than the obvious bureaucratic nonsense, It sounds like there's not much "plug and play" solutions available for them.
Are you (or do you know of) an educator? What problems are they having with introducing 3D Printing to their students? I am curious. | | MechEngineerMike - instructables.com If you are ever in the mood to 3D Printing a bunch of gears, this is an excellent guide.
