Startup Digest - 3D Printing - DIY Editon - August 25th

Startup Digest

3D Printing

August 25, 2017

What's up, gangster?

How's life? 

Chugging along? Good.

I've been researching the latest in the crypto coin world lately. I bought about $1200 worth of Litecoin (LTC) about 4 years ago and didn't touch it until now.

The initial investment grew a bit and after much research, I decided to sell all of it and exchange it for OmiseGo (OMG).

Based on my research, I am betting that OMG will become BIG in the coming years.

Is it speculation and much like Vegas? OF COURSE, but it's certainly interesting and fun. 

Ah yes, also, the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight is tomorrow too (if you are into that) -- that's going to be very interesting as well. 

The whole spectacle is a GREAT case study on great public relations and marketing as well.

Anyway...

As far as 3D Printing goes, it's a light day.

We'll be covering:

1.) 3D Printed robot hands helping deaf people
2.) New printers from Markforged
3.) 3D Printing related TED videos
4.) Some DIY projects

That's all.

Are you enjoying these digests?

Got any tips on improving it?

Perhaps you got a question?

If so, just hit reply and let me know.

I love hearing from you.

See ya next week!

Until next time, my friend,
Dilanka

[NEWS] - A 3D Printed Robotic Arm Built for SIgn Language

Devin Coldewey - techcrunch.com

This prototype is a bit bulky, but it's a damn good prototype. Ideally if this becomes a bit more polished, it would drastically reduce the need for interpreters. 

This particular project was originally posted on 3DHubs, feel free to check it out

[NEWS] - Two new 3D printers that produce items as strong as steel

John Biggs - techcrunch.com

If you don't know yet, Markforged is one of my favorite printers EVER. This printer can print in kevlar, metal etc., and it certainly can print a functioning firearm.

They've been improving very rapidly over the past couple of years and here they are again with exciting products. 

[VIDEO] - 9 Must See TED talks about 3D Printing

Hilmiyati Kusnadi - sculpteo.com

This is a solid list. If you haven't seen them, I recommend that you watch them. If you don't have time for the video, try using Listen To YouTube to convert these videos to audio and save them to your phone --- then simply listen to it at your convenience. 

[DIY] - Build an inexpensive air purification system for your 3D Printer

Instructables - instructables.com

I've covered many stories about 3D Printers emitting toxic fumes. If you are on a budget, you can easily fix (or minimize) that problem with this DIY.

[DIY] - Designing & 3D Printing a Hamster Cage Door (~30 mins)

Lindy Design Lab - youtube.com

It's a bit long, but damn it's good for a DIY project. 

[PRODUCT] - How does a DLP 3D Printer work?

Carlos Zotomayor - solidsmack.com

Just in case you didn't know the mechanics / technology of how a DLP printer works, this is a good guide. 

[NEWS] - HP and Deloitte team up on 3D printing services for manufacturers

Dean Takahashi - venturebeat.com

HP has been fairly proactive about using 3D Printing technologies, with a heavy focus on industrial applications.

My guess is that they will eventually be forced into the consumer market as well.
