As technology accelerates, some of the most amazing things are taken in stride as quite normal. Arthur C. Clarke’s famous quote, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic,” is still true, but these days it’s harder to advance far enough to induce those magical feelings. Design an object and print it out in 3D [...]
New Technology
Metallic glass popped up in the comments following our article about rapid prototyping and I thought I’d look into it since it was new to me and sounded like something quite a few of you would like to know about, too. Things are advancing so fast now, it’s hard to keep up, but this is [...]
We’ve talked about rapid prototyping before, 3D printing of intricate parts from various types of plastic or, in some cases, from metal where the durability of the finished product isn’t an issue. If only they could print production ready parts for manufactured items the potential of the process would be unleashed. Looks like we’re just [...]
We’re bouncing back and forth between high tech and low tech, from 5 axis milling machines to hands on clay mockups for body kits, today it’s back to high tech with this brand new 3D printer for the desktop from HP, the HP Designjet 3D Printer. It’s now on sale in Europe starting around $17,500, [...]
