But the project hinges on getting the giant 3d printer, which will be used to produce the digitally designed building blocks of the estate on-site, into the country.
Military clearance is required now before the green light is given to export the printer to the United states,
"We are now waiting (for) permission to borrow the printer (from the military), "Dini says."
"If I had another printer I'd send it there tomorrow, but unfortunately we don't have and must wait."
"Whatever the import-export issues, Kushner says he sees the estate project as a test of D-Shape's printer technology and its distinctive method.
According to literature on the D-Shape website, the material produced by the printer is"similar to marble"in its constitution.
This technique is vastly different from other 3d printing methods, Kushner says, and enables the production of many more"sculptural forms"that simply aren't possible with other systems.

#3d-printed loudspeaker plays Obama speech The first 3d-printed consumer electronic is a loudspeaker that comes out of the printer ready to use.
It s an achievement that 3d printing evangelists feel will soon be the norm; rather than assembling consumer products from parts and components complete functioning products could be fabricated at once on demand. verything is 3d printedsays Apoorva Kiran as he launched a demo by connecting the newly printed mini speaker to amplifier wires.
For the demo the amplifier played a clip from President Barack Obama s State of the Union speech that mentioned 3d printing.
Lipson says he hopes this simple demonstration is just the ip of the iceberg. 3d printing technology could be moving from printing passive parts toward printing active integrated systems he adds.
Most printers cannot efficiently handle multiple materials. It s also difficult to find mutually compatible materialsâ##for example conductive copper
and plastic coming out of the same printer require different temperatures and curing times. In the case of the speaker Kiran used one of the lab s Fab@Homes a customizable research printer originally developed by Lipson

At $5, 995, the printer isn exactly a steal. Autodesk more so built it to be the perfect exhibitor for its open-source Spark 3d printing software,

but the greater 3d printing industry might buy Ember because Autodesk plans to release exactly how it is built
and operates. Makerbot, the best known desktop 3d printer brand, gave rise to an entire class of printers
because its first machines were similarly open source. Ember could do the same for a different desktop technology.
