3D Printing Stories We've Missed - May 23

[Brian_Krassenstein]

This week's stories we didn't cover move from small daily details, like 3D printed bowls we can slurp from, all the way to a new industrial-size metal printer from Additive Industries that allows for 72-hour print jobs requiring no operator intervention. In between, there's much to mull over. A Kickstarter campaign for a 3D printed smart fart monitoring device (yes, it's true); a shoe company that uses scanning technology for customized shoes designed just for your feet; an online jewelry company's new model service; a lampshade designing workshop offered by 3D Hubs and Autodesk; and a drone for hiking so we don't get lost in the woods. On the hardware side, stories include--along with Additive Industries' new Metalfab1 industrial metal printer--Stereolabs' new depth-sensing camera and Budapest-based Do3D's new DLP printer. From cereal bowls to a smart fart device and new hardware options, we aim to please all of our readership's diverse 3D printing news interests!

That small drone is a good idea but if they removed all the stuff from it and just stuck a GPS and SOS beacon in there making it as disposable as possible it could save a lot of lives. Getting some altitude on an SOS radio signal makes it orders of magnitude more likely to get out. Flight time of just a couple of minutes would be enough in most cases but 15 minutes or more is entirely possible with the power in Lipo cells nowadays.
