Airing this Tuesday, June 18, on NPR’s All Tech Considered and on NPR.org’s website, will be a feature on Robohand, the amazing story of a mechanical hand printed with a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer. The hand was designed for those who have lost or were born without fingers. The original concept and design was created by a two-man team separated by 10,000 miles: Ivan Owen, a prop master from Washington State, and Richard Van As, a master carpenter from Johannesburg, South Africa
Organized by the association *designers interactifs* , *di*/zaïn allows designers and artists to publicly present their work on stage through a 100 minutes meet-up. The goal behind this is to encourage creators of all kind to share and collaborate around their project. Each event is constructed around 10 talks

We all know that 3D printing has many uses, and as the technology has become more available, people from all different kinds of industries have been integrating additive manufacturing into their production process. One industry that’s capitalized on 3D printing technology is the fashion
A new trend is emerging, where researchers, designers, and everyone in between are starting to ask, “how can we be more like nature — more renewable, more constructive and more sustainable?”
The 3D Printing Meetup by Sculpteo is back ! We are organizing a special event around “3D Printing & Arts” at L’Etablisienne in Paris, France. L’Etablisienne is a beautiful creative space in Paris where artists, designers and crafters meet to learn and make things together
There’s an increasing interest in 3D printed fashions, perhaps because of the novelty of 3D printing, but we suspect also because you’re able to create fashions that could otherwise not be manufactured.
