Meet The Man Who Created The 3D Printed Gun - Business Insider - 1 views

  • Last year, Wired included him in its list of the deadliest people on the planet, alongside Qassem Suleimani, head of Iran's special forces, and the former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, though Wilson's notoriety is not to do with human rights abuses and killing. It's for uploading a bit of software. A bit of software that could unleash a whole new world: one in which anyone can download a set of blueprints and print their own gun at home. Wilson made news when he unveiled plans for the Liberator in 2012, but in May last year, he went one step further: he successfully fired it, and uploaded the plans on to his website, Defense Distributed. Two days later, the US state department removed them, but by that time they had been downloaded 100,000 times. This is a cat that is well and truly out of the bag. The 3D gun is with us whether we like it or not. Mostly not, I would say. It's a gun. It works. And any nut with access to a 3D printer can print one in the privacy of their bedroom and then … well, you get the picture. The plans include a metal shank so that it'll show up in an x-ray scanner, but it is the work of moments to remove it. And while it is an argument that has a different resonance in the US, where any aforesaid nut can simply go out and buy a gun in a shop, and the rights of nuts to go and buy such guns is enshrined in the constitution, even there, it has caused shock waves. In Britain, where we hope our robbers carry nothing more than a big stick and arm our police officers accordingly, it's a potential societal revolution that none of us asked for.

But then, that's generally the way with societal revolutions. Listening to the radio, just before setting off to meet Wilson, I hear a bulletin that includes the news that the Home Office has updated its firearms rules to make it clear it is illegal to manufacture, sell, purchase or possess 3D printed guns.

3D Printing: Life in 3D - CKGSB Knowledge - 0 views

  • In China, 3D printing has carved out a niche in the advanced and high value-added manufacturing sector that involves complex parts and exotic materials.
  • Additive manufacturing cuts out the long lead times and design techniques like metal cutting or molding.
  • Today’s prosthetics and implants for use inside the human body already come in a variety of sizes and designs, but 3D printing can improve them by tailoring devices to each patient’s biology or injury. Bespoke implants mean better compatibility and fewer trips to the hospital, which could potentially ease the strain on China’s already stretched social security system, and it is where Materialise hopes to leverage its expertise in 3D printing in China. The Belgian company is looking to work with doctors to design devices like jaw implants from scans of patients’ mouths, says Francois. The digital models would then be printed in medical-grade titanium.

  • The long-term impact on supply chains could be profound. As companies start using 3D printers to produce parts on demand, on site and only as needed, a plethora of players—from storage to shipping—would lose out in a shorter, simpler supply chain, while consumers would benefit through localized production and leaner inventories.
  • same component could be ready in hours
  • Chief among them is that it can take anywhere from hours to days to print an object. While that may be an improvement for applications like rapid prototyping, it is impractical for larger-scale production. An assembly line in Shenzhen can churn out a product in the hundreds of thousands or even millions in the same amount of time it takes to print a component. “It’s an order of magnitude slower than what it’d need to be,” says Vicari.
  • The compounds used to print objects are expensive and only a handful can be used due to the required performance standards.
  • Titanium is popular for printing industry-grade parts because the metal is lighter and stronger than steel
  • At-home printing will not become widespread until printers become more reliable and the tools for using them more intuitive.

20 great examples of print in 3D | 3D printing | Page 2 | Creative Bloq - 0 views

  • What if you wanted to create confectionery based on body parts and didn't want to bother with moulds? Researchers at Cornell University's Creative Machines Lab have developed a printer that uses liquid ingredients such as batter or cheese instead of plastic. Fancy a scallop in the shape of the space shuttle ready to deep fry? No problem. A cake with a hidden message printed on the inside? Simple. While Cornell's printer is still in the prototype stage, a team from the University of Exeter already claims to have perfected a 3D chocolate printer for customisable treats.

  • Paleontology has been using the same, solid tools for around 150 years. However, Dr. Kenneth Lacovara of Drexel University decided it was time for the art of digging up dinosaur bones to catch up with technology. Palentologists can now use the required skills to print in 3D to make replicas of their bone findings to send to doctors and scientists around the world. This way, the discovery can be truly researched without restrictions.
  • Have you ever wanted to eat your own face? Well, thanks to print in 3D, now you can! The 'Eat Your Face Machine' (EYFM) is a 3D printer developed by David Carr and the MIT Media Lab.

  • Brazilian footwear company Melissas caught the 3D printing bug and have been creating incredible fashion designs ever since. The shoes are made out of a proprietary plastic called Melflex using injection-molding and 3D printing. Any left over material is saved and used for the next print in 3D project, so the process is nice and green! These invisible shoes were created by Andreia Chaves.

Despite plastic gun ban, 3-D printed firearms still have a future  - NBC News... - 0 views

  • Earlier this year, Cody Wilson, the 25-year-old founder Defense Distributed, a Texas-based group that promotes the use of 3-D printed guns, fired a .380 caliber bullet from a plastic gun called the "Liberator." The shot landed at a dusty firing range in central Texas, but was apparently heard in the halls of Congress.
  • On Monday, the U.S. Senate addressed those concerns by voting to extend the Undetectable Firearms Act for another 10 years, mirroring similar action last week by the House. The legislation, expected to be signed by President Obama, continues the ban on the sale or possession of firearms that aren't detectable by X-ray machines or metal detectors, a category that could include 3-D printed guns.
  • “In 1988, when we passed the Undetectable Firearms Act, the notion of a 3-D printed plastic firearm slipped through metal detectors, onto our planes in secure environments was a matter of science fiction,” Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., said on the House floor. “The problem is that today it is a reality.”The law, as extended, requires 3-D guns to have a metal strip that would make them visible to metal detectors. Some Democratic senators wanted stricter controls, including a requirement that 3-D printed guns have permanent metal components.

3D Printers May Be As Hazardous To Your Health As Cigarettes, According To New Study - 1 views

  • Typically a 3D printer will heat up a thermoplastic feedstock, extrude it through a nozzle, then deposit it onto a sort of landing pad where your item is built. Similar processes are known to emit harmful emissions in industrial environments, but the difference here is that in a factory, an operator might be required to wear certain protective gear and there might be better ventilation. In your home? Not so much.

Apple's CarPlay will put iOS on your dash, already has critical mass of car makers on b... - 1 views

  • Apple rolled out its CarPlay iPhone connection for cars at the Geneva Motor Show this week with Ferrari, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo demonstrating the application, and 13 other automakers also signed on to ship “down the road,” as Apple copywriters put it. CarPlay replicates the iPhone interface on the car’s center stack display, uses the car’s built-in controls, and takes orders from Siri as well. It goes far beyond Siri Eyes Free. 
  • Any car with a USB jack or streaming Bluetooth is capable of playing music and hands-free calling from an iPhone. CarPlay adds significant robustness through the replication of the iPhone display on the center stack display and the ability to call on more of the functionality of your phone.Apple Maps is supported for navigation. Apple says CarPlay intuits possible destinations from recent calls and messages you’ve gotten. Free navigation from your iPhone might make it tough for automakers to charge more than a couple hundred dollars for built-in navigation. If a car costs less than $20,000, some automakers might just give up. They’ll be stuck with the cost of putting in an LCD display ($100), but they may be stuck with unsold cars if they don’t and the completion does.Apple says CarPlay provides access to music, podcasts, and audiobooks, as before with simpler USB or Bluetooth connections. CarPlay supports iTunes Radio as well as selected third-party apps, such as Beats Radio, iHeart Radio, Spotify, and Stitch
