#Going digital and printing receipts"cuts out fraud#and increases the value to farmers 9-13%,#he adds.#

Nasa recently admitted that as part of a programme"to turn science fiction into fact#they are funding work to develop a 3d food printer.

and using 3d desktop printers to mix chemistries as a form of wet fabrication, which is a very flexible material.

Printing Missiles Researchers at Raytheon Missile Systems say they have created already nearly every component of a guided weapon using additive manufacturing, more commonly known as 3-D printing.

With commercially available high-end equipment and specially modified versions of low-cost 3-D printers, company researchers have created nearly every component of a guided weapon using 3-D printing,

That the vision. he progress is part of a company wide push into additive manufacturing and 3-D printing

who is researching future uses of additive manufacturing and 3-D printing. ee trying new designs for thermal improvements and lightweight structures,

things we couldn achieve with any other manufacturing method. ne of the new areas in weapon 3d printing is warhead design and manufacturing.

printed energetics and other materials, layered onto substrates into the components that comprise an nitiation trainin explosive warheads. ou can vastly simplify the manufacturing of energetic materials by printing them,

and wash away everything we don need. ircuits can already be printed with inkjet printers. The goal is to print more complicated circuits in three dimensions, with the very high resolution and performance of silicon. here currently a hierarchy in our manufacturing.

said Mccarroll. hat we see in the near future is printing the electronics and printing the structures,

and interconnect them with printing. Or, in the future, maybe youl just print them.?We are printing demos of many of the seeker components.

what would go into a missilesaid Danforth. 3d printing of missiles and warheads will allow engineers to utilize complex geometries

Other innovations associated with the project include new self-assembling methods and interconnection based on ink-jet printing technologies.

isn't too different from a regular 3d printer, but instead of printing with plastics, it deploys edible ingredients squeezed out of stainless steel capsules:"

"It's the same technology, "says Lynette Kucsma, cofounder of Natural Machines, "but with plastics there's just one melting point,

pointing out that at least in the initial stage the printer will be targeted mostly at professional kitchen users,

and that it promotes healthy eating by requiring fresh ingredients prepared before printing. Nevertheless, the company is working with major food manufacturers to create prepackaged plastic capsules that can just be loaded into the machine to make food,

but faster than regular 3d printing. Other than being capable of creating complex designs, such as very detailed cake decorations or food arranged in unusual shapes,

alongside partners including 3d printing pioneer Enrico Dini and his D-Shape firm. Kushner told CNN that surveying has begun already with excavation work also set to commence soon.

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.

"Integrating progressively more advanced 3d printing methods into the construction industry has been a topic that has generated many eye-catching headlines in recent years.

The process of contour crafting--where large 3d printers are assembled on a building site (much like what will happen on Kushner's estate)

Khoshnevis told industry website 3dprint. com earlier this year that the first printers large enough for his version of contour crafting should become available within the next two years.

however are more cautious about the immediate potential of 3d printing technology in the construction industry. In an interview with CNN in 2014

Dr. Phil Reeves, managing director of UK-based 3d printing consultancy and research firm Econolyst, described 3d printing a house on site like that planned by DUS as counter to existing building techniques

however, the benefits of large-scale 3d printing are many and will likely increase as the technology becomes more advanced."

Using a standard laser printer stocked with special wax-based inks he printed patterns of small dots onto uncoated filter paper.

Lang now a senior researcher at Exxonmobil observes that the finding may have potential in 3d printing.

#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

and former graduate student and lab member Evan Malone that allows scientists to tinker with different cartridges control software and other parameters.

hat hath God wrought. reating a market for printed electronic devices Lipson says could be like introducing color printers after only black and white had existed. t opens up a whole new space that makes the old look primitive. ource:

#Ink-jet printing creates soft nanostructures A new way to make nanostructures combines advanced ink-jet printing technology with block copolymers that spontaneously form ultra-fine structures.

Recently developed ultra high-resolution ink jet printing techniques have some potential with demonstrated resolution down to 100-200 nanometers

Combining jet printing with self-assembling block copolymers enabled the engineers to attain the much higher resolution as suggested by lead author Serdar Onses a postdoctoral scientist at Illinois. Onses earned his doctorate at the University of Wisconsin

or spatially placed over a wafer. his invention to use ink-jet printing to deposit different block copolymer films with high spatial resolution over the substrate is highly enabling in terms of device design

or different templates in different regions. he advanced form of ink-jet printing the engineers use to locally deposit block copolymers is called electrohydrodynamic or e-jet printing.

It operates much like the ink jet-printers printers office workers use for printing on paper. he idea is flow of materials from small openings except e-jet is a special high-resolution version of ink jet-printers printers that can print features down

and other types of nanomaterials. he most interesting aspect of this work is the ability to combine top down techniques of jet printing with â##bottom upâ##processes of self-assembly in a way that opens up new capabilities

#Autodesk is now selling an open-source 3d printer Autodesk first foray into hardware is here: The Ember 3d printer is now available for anyone to order.

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,

which is currently in beta. People married to Autodesk suite of software might find that pairing of interest,

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.

a necessary step in DLP printing. The Ember printer handles that last step in an unusual way.

The tank is shaped like a cashew; a half-instead of the square shape used by every other DLP printer.

After each layer is printed, the print platform raises slightly and the tank whips around the curve of the machine before returning to its home position.

because it requires the machine to use a lot less force, according to Autodesk 3d printing research scientist Andreas Bastian.

but my personal run-in with the printer at Pier 9 was welcome confirmation that Ember really exists,

In the same way that the animals steer themselves by moving the funnel that the water comes out of the Fraunhofer system can also be steered using a motor to selectively point the balls in the desired direction (s). The whole apparatus can be fabricated in one step using a 3d printer.

#Voxel8 paves the way for 3d-printed electronics The 3d printers of today can produce objects that may be quite intricate in shape

This may be about to change thanks to the Voxel8 a printer presented at CES that makes it much easier to blend plastic conductive ink

Special conductive inks and the right kind of printers already make it possible to build simple parts with embedded electronics.

and is hosted in the cloud) the printing can also pause at predetermined points so that users can manually insert the components that will be embedded in their 3d-printed objects.

As printers go this one appears to be on the higher end of the spectrum with features including a 4. 3-inch touchscreen USB

The only two printing materials currently supported are standard PLA plastic and the silver conductive ink but the startup has said users will be able to upgrade their printer in the future as more functional

and matrix materials are released. Voxel8 printers are set to begin shipping late this year. The US$8999 standard price tag includes two PLA filament spools and five conductive ink cartridges.

Should you choose to pre-order which entails a $500 deposit you'll get double the printing materials.

#A solar-powered 3d printer that prints glass from sand Marcus Kayser s Solar Sinter project When Markus Kayser, a design student,

sand-fed 3-D printer, he knew the gray skies outside his London apartment wouldn t do.

##The idea for the printer first came to Kayser a few months earlier. He wanted to find a project in which the sun did more than just power a device.

Markus Kayser s homebuilt 3-D printer created this glass bowl out of heated sand from the Sahara For the printer to work efficiently

the printer uses the concentrated beam of sunlight to slowly trace an object into the sandbox layer by layer.

The printer s motors the electronics, cameras and a laptop all run on batteries charged by the solar panels PRINTING Kayser first designs the object he wants to print in a CAD program.

His computer sends instructions to the printer, which works from the bottom up. After a layer has cooled into glass,

he adds more sand to the sandbox in the center of the machine and flattens it out,

and the printer begins heating the next layer. Kayser s first major piece, a bowl, took about four and a half hours to print.

#Researchers develop new process that raises prospects of 3d printed bone grafts 3d printing could help mend broken bones.

One of the 3d printing health applications discussed the most is the manufacturing of bespoke scaffolds that could be used to mend broken bones.

but it has been held back by the difficulties in printing materials that are strong, flexible and can encourage the regrowth of healthy bone in the same way as current methods,

The problem however is that current 3d printing methods to make calcium phosphate scaffolds require the use of high temperatures Such temperatures make it impossible important drugs

Now, researchers in the U s. have developed a new way of printing in calcium phosphate that can be done at relatively low temperatures which results in a scaffold that is mechanically strong

Inkjet printing of collagen solutions with high resolution has not been utilized previously in 3d printing of calcium phosphates

full-color 3d printer Mcor Iris 3d printer Most people think 3d printing involves a machine that either extrudes molten plastic, in a way similar to how a hot glue gun works,

or think of one of the larger industrial level 3d printers manufactured by 3d systems or Stratasys.

##Fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3d printers mainly are limited to plastic and plastic-like materials. Plastics are the only materials that can be melted,

Industrial level 3d printers provide a lot of other material options, but these printers costs range from $75, 000 up to over $1 million.

Most individuals, and even a lot of businesses end up having to sit on the sidelines only dreaming that one day these prices will fall.

and even decades to come. 3d printing has been around since the early 1980s when Chuck Hull invented the first commercial 3d printer, based on a technology called sterolithography.

Many of the 3d printers available today still use this technology, including some of the larger industrial level machines.

Hull went on to create a company called 3d systems, which today is the largest 3d printer manufacturer in the world.

They still hold multiple patents on stereolithography although many have expired already. I recently was introduced to a 3d printer like none I ve seen before.

While walking around the Inside 3d printing Conference#recently, I saw some 3d printed objects that were unlike those on display by other companies.

When I picked them up, they felt as though they were printed out of wood. Upon talking to the marketing team on hand,

I found that this 3d printer did not fit into the same category as those other machines on the display floor.

That printer was the#Mcor IRIS, created by a company called Mcor Technologies. Mcor is a relative newcomer on the 3d printing scene.

Founded in 2005 by Dr. Conor Maccormack and Fintan Maccormack who invented an innovative new paper-based 3d printing technology back in 2003,

Mcor has quickly become one of the more talked about companies within the 3d printing industry.

Unlike traditional 3d printers, Mcor utilizes a technology that prints objects using three products: a water-based adhesive, inkjet printer ink,

and your standard A4 business paper. That s right, no expensive polymers, resins, or other materials are required.

That s what makes the Mcor line of 3d printers both unique and refreshing to those tired of the tremendous expenses associated with 3d printing in general.

Mcor currently offers two different 3d printers, the Matrix 300 +which was unveiled in 2009, and the full-color IRIS printer which was released in 2012.

Both printers utilize a technology called Selective Deposition Lamination (SDL. In SDL, standard sheets of paper, like you currently use with your desktop printer,

are fed into the machine. The initial sheet is bonded to the build plate, then the printer deposits an adhesive

and follows by stacking another sheet of paper on top. This occurs until the printer is ready to begin the actual cutting and printing of the object.

It begins to stack the paper using a process that selectively deposits a water-based adhesive to each individual sheet of paper,

before applying another sheet. The build plate is moved then up to a heat plate where it applies pressure to make sure that the two sheets of paper are bonded correctly together.

A blade cuts each layer of paper, one at a time, based on instructions received by computer CAD and slicing software.

When using the Mcor IRIS 3d printer, there is an additional step involved where each piece of paper is colored using a modified 2-dimensional inkjet printer,

and#Mcor s special water-based ink. A bar code is printed then on each page to make sure that they remain in the correct order

This allows for the printing of objects that can look extremely realistic. As you can imagine,

there are numerous uses for 3d printers like this. We have customers across vertical market segments around the world, Julie Reece,

Personally I am impressed by the maxillofacial surgeon who is using Mcor 3d printing to create surgical guides,

Mcor s line of 3d printers cost between $36, 400 and $47, 600; a price that is pennies in comparison to some of the other industrial level printers on the market today.

The real savings, however, comes from the use of materials. While other companies suck their clients in,

due to the fact that many of them are only obtainable through the manufacturer themselves, Mcor printers use simple A4 business paper.

and printed on, is compatible with both of Mcor s 3d printers. This is because only the very outter edge of the paper is seen

once the printing of an object is complete. If you don t like how an object turns out,

Our mission is to make professional-quality 3d printing accessible to to everyone, while remaining safe,

The International Color Consortium (ICC) color mapping provides Mcor s 3d printers with increased color accuracy,

allowing their printers to print objects that look extremely realistic. This means that photographers, engineers and designers can all take photographs

Typically when 3d printers are fed color data, they translate it into machine-specific colors, rather than maintaining the original ICC.

this no longer is the case on Mcor s 3d printers. Ask any creative or marketing professional:

and why we are the first 3d printer manufacturer to embrace them. A gram is a gram

explaining in detail how their 3d printers function. Innovation is key when it comes to 3d printing technology.#

#There are new ideas popping up on a daily basis, many of which are realized eventually in the market.#

#Mcor is positioning themselves to be a leader in the ever changing, always growing 3d printing industry.
