Vibrant 3D Hubs Community Grows by 20% in Post-Holiday Period
It began as a long term, seemingly unattainable dream, but, after almost two years of exponential and accelerating growth, 3D Hubs is starting to look more and more like the very solid base for the distributed manufacturing world that is dawning…
Home Manufacturing and Food Production Combined to Create 3D Printable Mini-Farm
While 3D printing technologies remain under constant heavy development, we continue to see more and more applications that free humanity from the limitations of the past, offering new opportunities and possibilities both to mass users and the more specialized and…
Update: 3DRacers Races Past Finish Line with 3D Printed Perks and Discounts
Those who read 3DPI regularly know that I am a big fan of 3D Racers, the 3D printed, Arduino-based, smartphone-controlled, open-source, smart-toy car game. And that long list of composite attributes should clearly explain why. Where many different technologies meet…
Can Open Source Really Work in Scientific Research?
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about a study by Michigan Technological University’s Professor Joshua Pearce in which he calculated some hard numbers about the potential savings of adopting open source technologies in a scientific lab. His findings indicated several…
An Interview with OctoPrint's Gina Häußge
In recent months, a huge list of products have been announced or released, aiming to remotely or directly control desktop 3D printers. AstroPrint, the Sharebox, the Printr Element, and the MatterControl Touch are all among a new range of 3D…
Open Bionics Releases Its Most Realistic 3D Printed Bionic Hand Yet
Ever since the beginning of the “robotic age”, the idea of a fully functional, mechatronic prosthetic hand has seemed within reach and, yet, has been impossible to achieve. So close and yet so far away. Since 3D printing and basic electronic components…
3D Printed Open Hardware Syringe Yields $800M Value, Study Finds
Professor Joshua M. Pearce of Michigan Technological University in Houghton, MI, has sustainability technology and open source 3D printing as two of his main areas of interest. His focus on free and open source hardware (FOSH) is primarily related to…
Man Teams with Community to Build His Own Open-Source Robotic 3D Printed Prosthesis
Nicolas Huchet lost his right hand and part of his right arm in a hydraulic press accident 12 years ago. As a result, he wears a myoprosthesis, an electronic hand and arm controlled by muscle sensors. He’s spent a lot…
Executive Interview: Massimo Banzi, Co-Founder of Arduino
Massimo Banzi is the co-founder of Arduino, the Italian manufacturer of the low-cost, open-source Arduino board driving much of the current Maker Revolution. In the following interview with 3DPI’s Davide Sher, Banzi discusses the foundation of Arduino, the Open Source movement,…
