Australian startup Beehive are crowd funding a “design your own 3D printed eyewear” interface. The Beehive team of industrial designers and engineers (including Engineers Without Borders founder Daniel Almagor) are branching into online design interfaces. The website, which is under development , will let anybody jump into the design process, creating a unique eyewear design [...]
Stop motion with 3D printing
This is a great video of some behind the scenes action of the making of a stop motion video on responsible farming. The interesting angle is this video was commissioned by a chain of Mexican restaurants in the USA. It could just be me but it seems kind of weird that a restaurant would put [...]
3D printed circuit boards a near reality
By layering materials such as plastics, metals and rubbers, objects such as circuit boards could be created by the humble 3D Printer. This is enabled through the development of a technique for file standardization and by using substrate materials compatible with 3D printers. While 3D printers won’t have the ability to develop the microprocessor itself, [...]
3D Printing; now for chocolate!
