Using a 3D Printer to Build A Rocket (NASA)
What if you could use a 3D printer to build rocket parts? NASA is, and that’s pretty amazing! Are they building the entire rocket this way? Of course not, but some parts are definitely being created via a 3D printer. Mashable has a full article here. by
The Future of 3D Printing
When I first started in the creative development space, specifically video production, the CD Rom burner was introduced. It was launched with much fanfare and cost over $15,000 at the time. Yup, a CD Burner. The parallel with 3D Printing is pretty interesting. We know printers will drastically increase in functionality, and at the same [...]
How 3D Printing Could Revolutionize the Solar Industry
More efficient, less complex and cheaper, 3D solar cells can also capture more sunlight than conventional PV models. There’s a great article in the Guardian about how lower cost solar panels could change the industry significantly: John J Licata: I believe this new printing medium could be a game-changer as 3D solar cells, despite advances in [...]
