Maker Hand – this $30 prosthetic hand could turn the market upside down

It’s well known that prosthetic limbs usually cost…ahem…an arm and a leg. And sure there have been attempts to bring the cost down over the years. But this new Maker Hand looks like it turn the whole market for prosthetics on its head. The parts including filament, rubber bands etc cost around $30, and it’s made on a conventional home scale 3D printer. The inventor says it takes around one to two days to print, and then another day to…

Matter and Form – the little 3D scanner for your desktop

3D printing is a lot of fun. If your 3D design game is on point, you can make a lot of really cool objects. There are a lot easy to us programs to help people build the things of their dreams. Still, it’s a little difficult to recreate from life. If the object you want to make already exists, why not just scan it in? The Matter and Form is a small scale 3D scanner for your design studio.

Discov3ry: game changing add-on for 3D printing lets you print with anything from Nutella to Latex

Do you love food? Do you love fancy food such as cakes decorated so precisely they look like art and feel almost criminal to eat? Me too. So I was incredibly stoked to see that Structur3d Printing has pioneered a way to print with frosting using a 3D printer. Up till now 3D printers have mostly been confined to printing using some kind of plastic only, but not any more.

MakerBot Replicator Mini – The Next Gen 3D Printer for Your Home Makes Life Easier

3D printing is hands down one of the coolest recent innovations we’ve yet seen, but one of the hurdles of printing in 3D is that you have to be able to design in 3D, and if you’re the kind of person who can’t draw a straight line, working in the 3rd dimension might be a little troubling. To say the least.

Zeus – the world’s first all in one 3D printer, copier, scanner

3D printers are definitely not as easy to use as they seem. In fact, if you don’t know how to design something in 3D, chances are you won’t be able to print it with your “shiny” new 3D printer. However the folks over at AIO Robotics may have produced something which will change the way you look at 3D printing. Their upcoming innovation is called Zeus – an all in one 3D printer, copier and scanner which is nothing short…
