As part of its Star Wars Weekends event (running from May 17 to June 9), Disney is giving fans the chance to put their face on a 3D-printed Stormtrooper figurine The D-Tech Me experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios uses a high resolution single-shot 3D face scanner created by Disney Research labs. The 10-minute experience captures an image of the fan, which is later sent to a high-resolution 3D printer to create a figurine.
We’re happy to announce we started producing in the US! Since i.materialise is an international 3D printing service, we want to produce more regional to cut shipping costs and delivery times. Recently we started producing several materials in the US but we’re still finalizing the details.
This Article Originally was Published here: http://www.energyandcapital.com/articles/breaking-the-bakken-bottleneck/3287 There’s a dark side to the U.S. oil boom. Usually, people only hear the good news: the fact that our domestic crude production is at its highest level in two decades… or that Texas is once again pumping more than two million barrels per day… or that developing our tight oil plays has changed the landscape of our petroleum industry… But there’s more to the U.S.
A global network of 3D printing companies cuts down on shipping costs and could put local manufacturing back in business. Read more: Design Here, Buy Anywhere with Global, 3D Printing
The potential for home 3D printing has regularly been limited by size; even MakerBot’s Replicator 2 can only go so far in matching our ambitions. Solidoodle sees that deficit as a chance to make its name in a still very young industry
Digital Factory announced a new plug-in service, Pro-Quote that can handle the preparation of cost estimates for 3D printing. Who can use this service? If you have a commercial 3D printer available and a website you can place Pro-Quote on your site and immediately accept 3D print requests.
The iPhone 5 is just out…and you can already create and pre-order your custom 3D printed iPhone 5 case thanks to 3DPcase , the best accessory happening to iPhone 5 since iPhone 5! Here is how your iPhone 5 protected by the 3DPcase custom profile case would look like.
We recently contacted MakerBot chief Bre Pettis and asked him a few questions for this exclusive interview below. We have suspicions he and his crew at MakerBot are working on something really interesting, but as you’ll see he’s not telling.
