3D Printing in Fashion with Stephania Stefanakou

By

I am excited to talk 3D printing in fashion today. I really actually enjoy whenever we research and look into fashion that is using 3D print technology because it offers so much opportunity. It’s usually very exciting and great stuff to look at. In this particular case, what I’m even more excited about is I thought when we’re first researching her, that this was just going to be like a real art couture stuff, which we’ve reviewed before. It’s always interesting to find out someone’s artistic … [Read more...]

3D Print Legal Task Force with Farah Tabibkhoei of Reed Smith LLP

High Quality 3D Scanning and Computer Modeling with Barbara Wood

By

We've got a really good interview today that I think takes us further into the whole 3D scanning and creating a real product out of that exploration. I was at CEO Space, which is our networking and executive and entrepreneurship education forums we participate in quite a few times a year. They have five of them. We've done two this year or something like that already. It's just one of those things where you meet people and they know that we are in the 3D printing industry and they bring me … [Read more...]

3D Print Life Support – 3D Printlife

By

We have a returning guest today, Buzz Baldwin from 3D Printlife. He’s got something new to talk about today. We had a couple of these kinds of episodes going on recently where we’ve talked about various sites that are helping people learn 3D printing or get tech support for 3D printing, and that’s what this is really about. This is about life support for 3D printing. I love the way he puts it because that’s how it feels when your printer goes down and when you can't do something about it and you … [Read more...]
