Reviews of 3D Printers
Just when you thought that faxing was the dinosaur technology of the past the Zeus 3D printer steps in to revolutionize. This new machine by AIO Robotics is an all in one; printer, scanner, copier and 3D fax machine. You read it right 3D Fax! Instead of connecting to computers, learning 3D modeling software packages, building models and printing you can plug in and recieve a 3D print right away.

“I would never have imagined that something I made in my bedroom would be shaking hands with the President,” says 17-year-old Easton LaChappelle. However that’s precisely what occurred when LaChappelle got to visit the White House Science Fair and presented the robotic prosthetic arm that he 3D-printed and constructed in his bedroom lab.

One of the biggest problems with having babies is that you have to wait nine months to see what they looks like up close. 3D printing, however, is changing that.
Operating alongside Japanese clinics, Tokyo-based medical engineering firm Fasotec has started a program that gives expecting parents 3D printed models of their babies’ faces, as described in a recent CNN segment.

A few weeks ago I saw Man of Steel and I must admit I was very impressed. Now, I am no film critic, I’m just your average movie goer looking for 2 hours (or 3) of mind numbing action and entertainment. Man of Steel delivered all that and then some, and it was just what I was looking for.
Anyway, there was one thing in the movie that bugged me a little, and I had some difficulty rationalizing it until today. Where did Superman’s costume come from? In Man of Steel, the super suit just seems to appear out of nowhere onboard a ship that had been buried in ice for a few thousand years. How did it get there?

With the announcement of the ‘Liberator”, a 3D gun that can be printed on standard 3D printers, the interest in 3D printers has exploded. Sites have added 3D Printing tags, news sites have sprung up all over the internet and everyone is rushing in to stake their claim in the market. Alongside this virtual gold rush Amazon has launched it’s own 3D printer store.
The Amazon 3D Printer store is organized into 5 distinct sections. (3D Printers, 3D Printer Filament, Parts and Accessories, 3D Printer books and CAD Software.
Currently there are more than 46 listing for 3D printers in the 3D Printer section although many of them are the same printer bundled with filament and accessories. In any case, this is the widest selection of 3D printers online.That is of course until Wal-Mart jumps in. Stay tuned on that. [Read more…] about Amazon launches a new 3D printer store
The Form 1 3D printer has reached more than $1.4 million in pre-orders in less than a week on Kickstarter. The FormLabs team, with nearly 1,000 backers, has sold out of all their early-bird pledge packages.
See Printer details about the printer below.
Formlabs is disrupting 3D printing.
Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. As researchers at the MIT Media Lab, we were lucky to experience the best and most expensive fabrication equipment in the world. But, we became frustrated by the fact that all the professional-quality 3D printers were ridiculously expensive (read: tens of thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use. In 2011, we decided to build a solution to this problem ourselves, and we are now ready to share it with the world.
