3D printing – Open source hardware is now making things. Physical things you can print out, over the last few year 2-3 projects have really gained momentum and made some wonderful advances in low-cost desktop 3D printing. Projects include Fab@Home, MakerBot and RepRap. A new project was also added this year, s DIY open source [...]

Over at Core77 they’ve an undeniable soft-spot for 3D Printers – rapid prototyping hardware that can churn out a tangible, physical design from a CAD file or two – and so Objet Geometries new model is probably driving them into a frothing foam of glee. The Connex RP machine is capable of manipulating two [...]

Invetech, an innovator in new product development and custom automation for the biomedical, industrial and consumer markets, today announced that it has delivered the world’s first production model 3D bio-printer to Organovo, developers of the proprietary NovoGen bioprinting technology. Organovo will supply the units to research institutions investigating human tissue repair and organ replacement.

The applications of inspection work and reverse engineering have increased significantly as a result of 3D scanning. Beyond that, the scanning itself has also improved and become much more cost-efficient. Numerous models are now available that can perform a large array of functions related to three dimensional scanning.
These scanners are efficient and precise, and contact [...]
