I have been writing about 3D Printing (also called Additive Manufacturing) for over 20 years. At first the technology was used for rapid prototyping. Over the past few years, however, rapid advances in processing power, storage, and bandwidth have A couple weeks ago, I was curious to read yet another article about the much-heralded 3D printer revolution, "Crystal Ball Gazing: Amazon and 3D Printing." Only later did I realize that my skepticism from the outset betrayed my own confirmation bias that Such 3D printing services may not be limited to specialty shops or companies in the near future. Staples stores plan to offer 3D printing services in the Netherlands and Belgium starting in 2013. Most 3D printers don't go beyond the size of household Oskar van Deventer used to dream up Rubik’s Cube-like puzzles so complex that they were physically impossible to make. The ones that were possible, he painstakingly crafted out of wood or plastic or spent weeks waiting for a manufacturing facility to get AUSTIN, Texas -- The future of 3D printing, a technology that's rapidly maturing and enabling a wide variety of people and companies to rapidly design and create physical products, is very bright. That was the conclusion of a panel of experts who spoke at True 3D printing with metal is still off in the future, but researchers are beginning to explore this new frontier. This GIF shows an experimental metal printer that operates at room temperature. The metal is an alloy of gallium with a layer of oxide on .

Not too long from now, you’ll begin your holiday to wherever by jumping on a plane that’s fuelled by 3D printing. You’ll walk into a chemist or go to the makeup counter of your favourite department store and buy products tested with 3D printing. US firm Voxel8 has developed a 3D printer which allows you to co-print matrix materials such as thermoplastics and highly conductive silver inks. The claim is this extends the capability of existing desktop 3D printers which only print thermoplastics or UV One of the highlights of the 3D: Printing the Future exhibition is a 3D prosthetic arm, which shows how the technology could be used to print customised prosthetics with electronic moving parts and nerve endings, created by the research group at the When you walk into the Shapeways headquarters in a sprawling New York City warehouse building, it doesn't feel like a factory. It's something different, somehow unforgettable, inevitably new. As it should be. This is one of the world's first full service .
