3D Printing

3D printing is changing the way we produce objects, from tools and toys to food, and even body parts. It's a tech revolution taking place in homes across the world. But how does it work exactly, and what makes it so efficient? Mashable explains the basics of 3D printing technology.

Can you make money with 3D Printing in 2018? Yes! Here are 5 ways I think you can. I hope you find this video useful and use it to launch your 3D Printing hobby into a fully fledged business!

Cody R Wilson has figured out how to print a semi-automatic rifle from the comfort of his own home. Now he's putting all the information online so that others will join him. -- This is a story about the rapid evolution of a technology that has forced the American legal system to play catch up. Cody Wilson, a 25-year-old University of Texas Law student, is an advocate for the open source production of firearms using 3D printing technology. This makes him a highly controversial figure on both sides of the gun control issue. MOTHERBOARD sat down with Cody in Austin, Texas to talk about the constitution, the legal system, and to watch him make and test-fire a 3D-printed gun.

Researchers have engineered a bio scanner capable of showcasing the human body's bones, lipids, tissues and disease markers.   Mars Bioimaging There is great news for medical professionals relying on the use of X-ray pictures! A new bioimaging technique using a sensor chip developed by the European Organization for Nuclear Research CERN has resulted in the creation of a scanner that can produce 3D color X-rays of the human body. Source:  Mars Bioimaging These new impressive, yet freaky images, have the ability to clearly showcase the details of a patient's bones, lipids, and soft tissue as well as other elements such as disease markers. The X-rays have the potential to allow doctors in the future to detect health conditions along with bone damage. A new form of X-ray scanning The bio scanner is the work of New-Zealand company  Mars Bioimaging . The firm made use of a CERN technology called Medipix3 to engineer a new high-performance form of X-ray scanning

"We see a huge value and a huge benefit in 3D Printing.” Curtis Carson, Airbus Curtis Carson, Head of Systems Integration, Centre of Competence Manufacturing Engineering at Airbus, presented the afternoon keynote on Day 2 of Inside 3D Printing New York City. Carson opened by setting the stage for the magnitude of the airline industry and Airbus’ operations. Every day,  8 million people get on an airplane. There are over 80,000 flights daily and 15,500 commercial jets that take off and land. And Carson said we can expect significant growth in the future. “Air traffic will grow at 4.7 percent annually requiring over 29,220 new passengers and freighter aircraft valued at nearly US$4.4 trillion (3.3 trillion euros),” Airbus said in a statement in 2013. The supply chain and assembly of aircraft are large and complex. For example, the Airbus A380 has 4 million individual components. If you took out all the seats, its floor space is bigger than a basketball court. Airbus’ supp

Organovo CEO Keith Murphy presented the afternoon keynote at Inside 3D Printing Santa Clara. In his presentation to several hundred attendees, Mr. Murphy described a vision of Organovo as an enabling technology bioprinting platform. The context behind this vision is a dose of reality that 3D printing, especially bioprinting, is still in its infancy. “If we are stuck in the first chasm for 3D printing, we are probably a lot earlier than that for bioprinting,” explained Mr. Murphy. While bioprinting can provide unique capabilities to the pharma industry for toxicology testing and disease models, the technology is simply too complex to deploy. Instead, Organovo is working hand in hand with drug companies to develop custom bioprinting strategies and execute them. “I compare the way we use our platform to a punchcard computing system,” said Mr. Murphy. “It’s so early, we need to be there at the site and working closely.” Mr. Murphy stated Organovo’s value-add to the pharma indu
