NASA Set to Fund World’s First 3D Food Printer
From worldindustrialreporter.com: NASA has announced that it will fund construction of the world’s first ever 3D food printer. The American space company has given a $125,000 grant to mechanical engineer Anjan Contractor, who has already designed the machine. And they hope it will eventually be able to provide food for astronauts on long-distance journeys through […]
Cortex 3D-printed cast for fractures
From de zeen magazine: 3D-printed casts for fractured bones could replace the usual bulky, itchy and smelly plaster or fibreglass ones in this conceptual project by Victoria University of Wellington graduate Jake Evill. The prototype Cortex cast is lightweight, ventilated, washable and thin enough to fit under a shirt sleeve. A patient would have the […]
Buildings Based On Human Bone Structure Could Be the Future of Cities
Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan from Gizmodo.com: Biomimicry borrows design solutions from the embedded intelligence within animals’ bodies—chiefly from other species. But occasionally, it also borrows from within the human body. For example, a new study from MIT suggests that buildings of the future could be built with super-strong materials based on the structure of human bones. In […]

3-D Printed Ear Made From Calf Cells and Nanoparticles ‘Hears’ Radio Frequencies
By Liat Clark from Wired.com: Nanotechnology engineers from Princeton have 3-D printed an ear from calf cells and silver nanoparticles that picks up radio signals at frequencies beyond human capacity. The creation is part of their greater plan to one day build spare parts for human cyborgs. Rather than simply adding electronics to an ear, the team decided […]
Play-Doh 3D Printer
Sadly, this is an April Fool’s joke, but if only! The Play-Doh 3D Printer and accompanying iPlay-Doh 3D App allow users to design 3D objects on an iPad and print them using up to three different colors of Play-Doh. The printer is primarily crank powered, and is available for purchase at ThinkGeek. Your kid’s first […]
Will 3D Printing Fuel Art and Jewelry Forgery?
From StumbleUpon.com: While debate rages over using 3D printers to make guns or gun parts, technologies for other possible abuses are emerging — including the ability to cheaply copy and reproduce works of art and jewelry. A few days ago at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas, 3D-printer company MakerBot introduced the other […]
