Super Bowl XLIX is kicking off this Sunday and the 3D printing community is already getting psyched. While Stratasys prepped for the party by 3D printing its own pro-grade football using an Object500 Connex 3 multi-material 3D printer. Others are delving into the serious matter of DeflateGate. 3D printing design and service bureau Fathom wants to ensure that future football teams don’t under-inflate balls during crucial games by using Fathom’s own custom device to measure ball pressure, leading them to make the promo video below:
And, if you’re trying to get that song out of your head forever, you can always watch Bill Nye deflate DeflateGate with the issue that should be concerning all of humanity: climate change! Woohoo! Are you ready for some climate change??? Nope.
Wooho! 3D-Flategate!
It’s a great subject for this moment in time, as LXIX starts in just a
few hours. And climate change IS an important challenge for the world.
However, please stop using Bill Nye to represent science. He may be a
great old guy – just like me – but his grasp of science is not near the
level of expertise we need for addressing serious science issues. He is
stuck in mid-1900s science-is-for-the-kiddies mode. Wish him well and
let’s get on with real science. Do you know of a credible individual to
address the “science” of deflategate? There are probably many, but few are so available as BN.
Oops! XLIX .. Super Bowl 49.
