The long-term goal is to solve problems in medical therapy that can’t be solved otherwise, especially in organ transplants, where tens of thousands of people are waiting for donated [...]

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 [...]

know that times are hard. But we don’t really need to eat. What we really is 3D printers. Forgoing the traditional human diet is what most average home users would need to do in order to get their hands on a 3D printer seeing as most are more geared towards large companies and cost [...]

Stratasys, Inc. has announced that it will put up for auction a Dimension SST 3D printer from Jay Leno’s Garage internet site.
The printer has the ability to build plastic models designed on computer-aided design programs. It “prints” the plastic models one layer at a time using a thermoplastic material. The one on Jay Leno’s Garage [...]

Z Corporation is launching what it claims is the world’s first automated, monochrome 3D printer and the company’s most affordable automated 3D printer to date, making advanced rapid prototyping technology more accessible to mainstream engineers. Like other Z Corporation 3D printers, the ZPrinter 350 converts 3D data into physical models much as desktop printers convert [...]
