Very out of the box thinking has lead to a very FFF like 3D print glass printer due to the research and efforts at the MIT Glass Lab. We are blown away by the beautiful 3D print glass creations and excited about how this will impact other areas of the 3D printing industry when you look at how the extruded glass builds the final product. Featuring other newsworthy 3D print glass endeavors, as well as a classroom 3D print STEAM project that's way better than the messy tissue paper glue that kids … [Read more...]
3D Print Headsets Open Source the Brain
Open sourcing the brain is possible with 3D print headsets to create better fitting, and therefore, better reading brain scan helmets for more accurate data results. Today we are discussing how an ambitious 3D printing project could be combined with concussion screening for a better insight and understanding to what happens to the brain after a head injury. Also covering what to look for in concussion symptoms that might show up after being cleared from the doctors office that every parent … [Read more...]
3D Print Puzzle Toys
Very cool and very inspiring 3D print puzzle toys from Locknesters that will keep you, as a learning 3D print user, excited and interested in continuing to learn and use your 3D printer. Far better than the generic CAD test print models your printer may or may not come with, these 3D print puzzle toys provide learning concepts and maker milestones to conquer such as fit, finish, how the filament works, and many other areas to explore in 3D print production. Listen to the podcast here: 3D … [Read more...]
Top 3D Print Wish List Features
The 3D print wish list features we want are largely different than the 3D print wish list that YouMagine put out. Looking at some "complaints" a little more in-depth on supposed issues such as filament, build plate size, lack of models, and other 3D print concerns. Our 3D print wish list focuses on the 3D print industry as a whole and issues that need to be addressed to push it further. Listen to the podcast here: Top 3D Print Wish List Features We saw YouMagine put out a 3D print wish … [Read more...]
Evolution of the 3D Print Classroom
3D print documentary film maker and previous WTFFF?! Podcast guest, Brian Federal, shares what he has found over the past year of the evolution of the 3D print classroom. He identifies the obstacles and issues that are hindering students ability to know about, to learn, and to use 3D printers and what this means for the next generation of product designers and those in engineering related fields. At time we first had him on the podcast was because he was working on documentary really about 3D … [Read more...]
Modular 3D Architectural Prints
3D Printing meets concrete to create beautiful walls, space dividers, and art in a form of 3D architectural. This goes far above and beyond 3D printed concrete walls that we have seen and really inspires us to think about what 3D printers can build to create talking pieces in your business, trade show booth, or unique installation in your home. Listen to the podcast here: Modular 3D Architectural Prints This one on modular 3D architectural prints ties into yesterday's talk about trade show … [Read more...]
