#Which city is getting Google's ultrafast Internet? Congratulations denizens of Austin, Texas, Google Fiber--the company's blazing fast gigabit broadband service--is coming to your city.
After some speculation, Google officially announced today that Austin would indeed become the second metropolitan area to get the service after the company first built up the infrastructure in Kansas city and surrounding communities,
where homes are already enjoying Internet speeds that are 100 times faster than the average broadband service.
Google will offer the same service to Austin as it does for Kansas city residents. They have the option for gigabit Internet

#Titan Robotics announces new high-quality large-scale 3d printer called The Atlas May 21, 2015 By Simonalthough wee been seeing dozens of new 3d printers and material options in recent memory,
very few have been focused on relative size-particularly when it comes to 3d printing large-scale objects. While there are large 3d printers in existence,
many are made with lightweight and inefficient components that can take a serious toll on the print quality
if high-quality results are desired. However, The Atlas, a new 3d printer from Titan Robotics just might change that.
Founded by mechanical engineer Clay Guillory who calls himself mechanical engineer by day, and a mechanical engineer by night, Titan Robotics focuses on doing one thing and one thing very well:
designing large 3d printers that are designed to last a lifetime. Among other applications that Clay has used his 3d printing know-how towards include prosthetic hands

and size of this new 3d printer With over a year in development including real-world testing in various manufacturing facilities,
the Atlas has proven to be a highly-accurate 3d printer that is capable of printing large prototypes reliably over time.
which ultimately helps set the bar for other large scale 3d printers. Additionally, the scalable frame is comprised of welded
The printer can be designed to any desired build space of up to 6x 6x 4 For those looking for more customized options

said Founder and CEO Clay Guillory. e fully expect this printer to be a game changer in the 3d printing industry. hile the Atlas may share many of the same attributes of a well-built desktop 3d printer,
its unique size opens an entire plethora of possibilities that no desktop 3d printer can replicate in a single print session.

Involving special bio-inks made from biocompatible polymers and cells, these could be used for 3d printing just about everything in the human body, from cartilage, to bone structures and theoretically even entire new organs.
And now a Swedish start-up called CELLINK has developed a bioink that could make this medical revolution happen as soon as possible.

#MASSIVIT 3d shows off GDP Gel Dispensing 3d printing technology by printing a Strati car Jun 26, 2015 By Alecgenerally speaking,
3d printers come in all shapes and sizes, though some stand out more than others. After all, not all 3d printers are large enough to build gigantic cement structures,
but most that are are unique experimental models not yet ready for marketing. However, one Israeli startup called MASSIVIT is working hard on a 3d printer that could bring large scale 3d printing to the massive.
And as their name suggests, their machine is truly huge. With a build space of. 5m x 1. 2m x 1. 8m (or 4ft x 5ft x 6ft
Envisioning a wide variety of applications, the Israeli developers have emphasized just its potential by 3d printing an entire car body in a single piece.
but has been founded by a group of industry veterans with years and years of experience in the 3d printing industry.
what they call the largest, fastest and most advanced large format 3d printing solution. And that claim is not just an ambitious statement,
as the Israeli engineers have developed actually a unique 3d printing technology. Called GDP 3d printing (short for Gel Dispensing Printing), they believe their upcoming 3d printers are capable of igniting a market explosion in the 3d printing industry and beyond it.
And by the face of it, that could really happen. t the heart of the GDP process is Massivit unique printing gel & smart support.
It may seem like the technology is the same as used in other filament-based 3d printing systems
but it is completely different. The GDP utilizes movement similar to what is used in FDM systems,
functioning as a Cartesian 3d printer, it just combines the advantages of resin 3d printing with FDM techniques.
This allows them to acquire a delicate balance between movement speed, curing, and the material properties of their ilament ll of these together enable the printing of relatively thick layers with linear movement of the dispensing
and curing engine at up to 1m per second, they say, which is of course an insane speed.
It opens the way to 3d printing much larger objects, from machine casings, to furniture and much more.
and the printer can be utilized at the same time to also print another object Perhaps printing Eve?,they speculate.
The material at the center of this new approach to 3d printing is MASSIVEIT gel, a UV sensitive polymer. he material is nonflammable,
and has good structural strength similar to ABS materials commonly used in 3d printing. The relatively low fluidity parameters of the gel create high advantages
This obviously opens the way to some serious large scale 3d printing as the Israeli engineers emphasize by 3d printing the body of a car.
As reported in Israeli media, they 3d printed the body of a Strati car by Local Motors, with a bit of help from design specialists from Autodesk.
