 | | 3D Printing | March 31, 2017 |
Hey you!
Last week, I asked you whether you preferred NO EMAIL as opposed to OLD RESOURCES in the event that there was not much happening in the world of 3D Printing.
Most of you (thankfully) preferred NO EMAIL.
I know the velocity and volume of information that comes at you is INSANE and the last thing I want to do is send you more garbage.
If you'd like to be more effective in how you deal with information, try reading/listening to Thank you for being late by Thomas Friedman
(thanks to Forrest Burton, a reader, for the recommendation!)
If you don't have time to read/listen to the book, you can watch this lecture to get the gist of it.
Anyway, today, we'll be covering:
1.) Saving a 100+ year old car with 3D Printing (be sure to watch the video)
2.) Helping visually impaired (expectant) parents with 3D Printing
3.) Theories about the future of manufacturing in America
4.) Recap of the Midwest Rep Rap Festival
5.) Makerbot's MinFill in action
6.) A whole bunch of crowdfunding campaigns related to 3D Printing
Phew! I was surprised to see THIS many crowdfunding campaigns related to 3D Printing.
Nothing major (except the castle) -- just a bunch of small scale, highly targeted Kickstarters.
That's all for today.
Thanks for reading :)
Until next time, my friend,
Dilanka

"..Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it..." - Groucho Marx

| | Fiona Pepper - abc.net.au One of the coolest case studies I've seen this year. | | GE Healthcare - newsroom.gehealthcare.com One of the coolest applications of 3D Printing in my opinion. | | Patrick Gillepsie - money.cnn.com Voodoo has been getting some decent press lately -- although I have yet to see a working prototype of their claims.
I think 3D Printing has the potential to have much more unexpected implications than this article suggests though. For example, supply chain disruption where truck drivers aren't needed because people just print their own widgets etc..Who knows. Only time will tell. | | Brian Benchoff - hackaday.com The Midwest Rep Rap festival is a 3D Printing related geek gathering that happens in the middle of nowhere (Goshen, Indiana) and it just ended. Here's a decent recap of the event.
I attended last year, but didn't attend this year. | | General Fabb - fabbaloo.com Good commentary on Minfill (which I mentioned a couple of weeks ago). | | Indiegogo - indiegogo.com Interesting crowdfunding project. Speaking of crowdfunding, I am also working on a crowdfunding project that I will be announcing in a month or so. | | ONO 3D - ono3d.net ONO released a press release recently announcing that they'd started delivering product from their Kickstarter campaign. Reading through their Kickstarter, it seems like the press release is more of a public relations move to buy more time than actually deliver the product to the backers.
Perhaps I am wrong. Any ideas?
| | Jean-Noel Seneque - kickstarter.com This is an active Kickstarter for storing your X-wing fighters efficiently. Interesting to see design work getting crowdfunding support. | | Slant Robotics - kickstarter.com This Kickstarter will be over by the time you read it -- but it's still interesting. | | Mike Draghici - kickstarter.com This one is a bit more ambitious. Considering the random nature of the Internet, I wouldn't be surprised if things like this get funded. | | Mike Smoothy - kickstarter.com This project will also be over by the time you read it. In either case, it's still an interesting project. | | Shayne Poindexter - kickstarter.com I am glad someone has made this particular product. It's a pain in the ass to find a good multi-purpose tripod for your phone these days. | | Zimple - kickstarter.com One of the more interesting Kickstarters. It's a filtering system to minimize/eliminate toxic fumes released by 3D Printers. A while back, I mentioned about UL teaming up with a university to conduct independent studies on this same topic. Can't wait for those results. | | Fast Company - fastcompany.com Can't confirm or deny any of these claims by the way. | Apply today for our Business Development Executive in APAC at Techstars Are you someone who’s not afraid to be defiant, who stands up to the status quo and is an intense adventurer?
