Will 3D Printing Change the World?

Will 3D Printing Change the World?

Los 10 videos de publicidad mas vistos en YouTube en 2012 Estos son los videos de publicidad mas vistos en YouTube durante el 2012, unicamente incluimos los mejores 10 por su relevancia y calidad, y es que la evolución de la publicidad tiene un aliado muy fuerte en YouTube esto pues las personas ahora pasan mas tiempo frente a una computadora con Internet que frente a la TV. Todo esto potenciado por las redes sociales y las campañas publicitarias virales, así como la interacción entre los usuarios y la marca, ha provocado que los resultados sean significativamente mejores en Internet que en cualquier otro medio, todo esto lo podemos ver en la cantidad de veces que las personas visualizan videos de publicidad en Internet de manera voluntaria.

7 TED Talks on the wonder of 3D printing From ordering movie tickets to booking a dentist appointment, mobile and web apps have made the tasks of daily life easier. But there are some things that an app can’t do. Standing in line at the pharmacy is one of them. Lee Cronin: Print your own medicineIn today’s talk, Lee Cronin asks: “Could we make a really cool universal chemistry set? With his team of researchers at the University of Glasgow, Cronin has created a 3D printing application that allows scientists to print out laboratory equipment specific to the experiment they wish to run — something they’ve called “reactionware.” At TED, we love sharing stories of 3D printing and its rapidly developing power to make new things possible. Lisa Harouni: A primer on 3D printing So what exactly is 3D printing? Klaus Stadlmann: The world’s smallest 3D printer Klaus Stadlmann built the microprinter, the smallest 3D printer in the world. Anthony Atala: Printing a human kidney The shortage of organ donations is a crisis in healthcare.

Digital Paper Could Become Like 'Google Docs for Artists' | Wired Design Computer engineers have turned ordinary paper into a display with a UV lighting technique, which could one day help artists work on real-time collaborations from opposite sides of the world. Researchers from the Naemura Group at the University of Tokyo call the method “paper computing technology”. Ordinary paper is coated with a photochromic material, which changes color when light is shone on it. A pen filled with commonly available Frixion thermo-sensitive ink (which disappears when heated) is then used to draw the image, and a digital UV projector with a resolution of 1,024×768 can be used to copy or print that image onto the paper again. A laser illuminates the image from underneath to erase it to an accuracy of 0.024mm — it can even do this automatically, learning where an error has occurred and the user has strayed from their intended line. The images so far used to demonstrate the method aren’t exactly complex, but the concept is sound, if a little cumbersome.

RepRap TEDxEWB Talk: Adrian Bowyer at Imperial College, London, introduces RepRap RepRap is humanity's first general-purpose self-replicating manufacturing machine. RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself - a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that - if you've got a RepRap - you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend... RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. RepRap was voted the most significant 3D-printed object in 2017.

Graphene-made e-paper by 2015 and anticancer drugs by 2030 Ultra-strong and self-healing copycat material graphene has been the subject of intense excitement since Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselo extracted it from bulk graphite in 2004, earning them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2010. Now, an international team of physicists led by Novoselo has published a paper laying out a timeline of future uses for the incredibly versatile material, which includes its role in anticancer drugs and rollable e-paper. "A roadmap for graphene", published in the journal Nature, proves that the one atom-thin super-conductive material has plenty of future uses outside of electronics, though it will be an integral part of the imminent future development of devices. "Different applications require different grades of graphene and those which use the lowest grade will be the first to appear, probably as soon as in a few years," said Novoselov. The paper also details the three main methods for extracting graphene.

Graphene 3D Printing Since its discovery in 2004 by a pair of scientists at the University of Manchester, England, graphene has been sitting around the lab waiting for applications like a genie in a bottle waiting for someone to make some wishes. That genie will soon be very, very busy fulfilling the latest wish being asked of it—“Make me whatever I want, whenever I want it, and delivery it wherever I want in the world.” And the genie made of graphene says, “Your wish is my command.” American Graphite Technologies Inc. The 3D printers they produce will mean nothing less than the mass production of genies. Current 3D Printing Current 3D printers use liquids, powders, paper, or sheet materials to manufacture objects by pouring or adding one layer upon another according to an item’s blueprints. Since these blueprints can be downloaded from the Internet, objects can be manufactured, or printed, anywhere on the planet that has Internet access—even in one’s own garage. Graphene’s Advantages

Is 'Breaking Bad' Influencing The Real-Life Meth Trade? NEW YORK -- News of drug cartels mass-producing souped-up methamphetamine – that's the latest word as reported by The Associated Press, and it sounds pretty scary. But haven't we heard this story before? Like on "Breaking Bad," the AMC network's addictive drama series? Take a look at the real-life drug biz. Just consider ... The product: _ Today's newly potent meth has a tell-tale bluish-white color, and it's purer than ever: as high as 88 percent. _ Walter White, in his newly assumed alter ego of Heisenberg, has flooded the market with a product renowned for its distinctive blue color. The facility: _ Factory-like "superlabs" in Mexico are turning out meth with large-scale efficiency. _ Same on "Breaking Bad," although, in keeping the story close to home, the product can proudly claim to be "Made in U.S.A." That is, Walter (played by series star Bryan Cranston) and his maladroit assistant, Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul), have followed the American dream. The distribution: The future:

valtari videos the valtari mystery film experiment now available on dvd, blu-ray and download. includes 3 behind-the-scenes featurettes. valtari was sigur rós's last album as a four-piece. an elegaic work; they didn't feel much like talking about it, and so, instead, asked a bunch talented directors to make whatever they felt like making to go with music. these 16 films are the result. sad, funny, beautiful and, occasionally, plain bewildering, they represent just some of the available emotional responses to this most contemplative sigur rós album. the film's credits include thank-you's to all 800-plus entrants to the mystery film experiment competition. buy from us: downloaddvd or from retailers: the films sigur rós gave fourteen film makers the same modest budget and asked them to create whatever comes into their head when they listen to songs from the band's album valtari. the idea is to bypass the usual artistic approval process and allow people utmost creative freedom. click to watch valtari
