Startup Digest

3D Printing

March 10, 2017

What up?

Right at this very moment, I am roaming around the Traffic & Conversion Summit in Downtown San Diego (~10 min walk from my spot). 

It's my first time attending and since tickets start at about $1000/person -- I am expecting it to be damn good. They are expecting about ~4000 attendees and the speaker line up looks good.

So, this weekend, I'll be hanging out with some of the best online marketers in the game.

That's what I am up to. 

Watcha up to?

What's on your mind these days?

Hit reply, and let me know.

As far as 3D Printing highlights go, we'll be covering:

1.) Polaroid's new 3D Pen
2.) The new WiFi/Bluetooth Pi Zero
3.) Artec's new 3D Printer
4.) MakerOS's new release
5.) Color 3D Printing
6.) Some Influential women in 3D Printing
7.) The benefits of 3D Printing
8.) The Potential benefits of Green 3D Printing
9.) Digital Alloys raising $5M
10.) The Hangprinter

That's all for this week.

As always, let me know if you have any suggestions/comments/dirty jokes etc ;)

Until next time, my friend

[PRODUCT] - Polaroid's New 3D Pen

Polaroid - polaroid3d.com

Looks like Polaroid has released their 3D Pen in Europe. Polaroid has been going in an interesting direction in the past few years and this should be an interesting "warm up" product for 3D Printing among children.

[PRODUCT] - New Pi Zero Released With Bluetooth and WiFi

Raspberry Pi - raspberrypi.org

Holy cow. A Raspberry Pi Zero with BLUETOOTH and WiFi just got released for just $10. Insane. 

[PRODUCT] - Artec Leo, a Pro 3D Scanner for $25K

Artec - artec3d.com

Looks impressive, but I haven't seen any real life results. There's a comma missing on the website, but it looks like this thing is $25K (!). Given the price tag, I assume it gets the job done? Maybe. All I know is, most 3D Scanners suck.

[PRODUCT] - MakerOS Releases V1.0

Mike Moceri - makeros.com

After an entire year of public beta, MakerOS has released it's first public version of their platform. If you are unfamiliar MakerOS is a business management tool for 3D Printing, design and light fabrication services. Think of a dedicated UPWORK like platform just for 3D Printing.

[PRODUCT] - Color 3D Printing with Mosaic Manufacturing

General Fabb - fabbaloo.com

Color 3D Printing certainly looks cool - and I wouldn't mind playing around with it. Nevertheless, this is a good read. 

[SHOWCASE] - 5 Influential Women in 3D Printing

Clare Scott - 3dprint.com

Apologies for the ad-ridden website, but considering the fact that it was International Women's Day a couple of days ago -- this is relevant and useful. 

[NEWS] - Benefits of 3D Printing

Capucine Lonjon - sclupteo.com

Covers several "not so obvious" angles on 3D Printing. Good read. Especially regarding "supply chain disruption". 

[NEWS] - Potential with Green 3D Printing

Ani - asianage.com

Take this with a grain of salt. I didn't see any legitimate links to any studies. Allegedly, it claims that there might be potential for "greener 3D Printing" using cellulose acetate. If you are a chemist or familiar with materials science, let me know if this is B.S or not. 

[NEWS] - Digital Alloys Raises $5M

Digital Alloys - digitalalloys.com

A while back, I mentioned a fully automated 3D Printer company called NVBots. Looks like they have spun off their metal/alloy 3D Printing technology into a new company called Digital Alloys with a solid round of financing from several well known VC's.

[DIY] - The Hangprinter

General Fabb - fabbaloo.com

If you are an ambitious nerd, here's a weekend project for you.
