The trajectory of 3D printing growth is already steep, however I think it could be much more explosive in nature than even the most optimistic industry insiders believe. At first glance, this would...
What happens when you lose the hose of a vacuum cleaner, and the only spare you have is off of another older vacuum you have? You could perhaps order a brand new hose from the manufacturer, or you...
This is the kind of thing that 3D printing is allowing to happen. Whatever is in the mind of an artist can materialize right before us. Check out this 3D printed silverware. So awesome in my...
CES isn't over just yet. I would also like to see something else from them. Seems like they sort of lost a step in this past year or so.
Yes, but I believe the original poster was referring to Amazon offering actual 3D Printing services, not simply selling 3D Printers or there site as a 3rd party distributer.
Alright, so this is sort of an open ended question I thought I'd ask the forum. There is no right answer, just opinions. 3D Printing is sure to change the world we live in in several ways. Out of...
By the video, this printer looks pretty legit. I've seen them ranked pretty high on some 3d printer ranking sites.
Are there any other website that allow you to have your design printed for a price, similarly to what Shapeways does, or do they pretty much own that market?
There are some similar models elsewhere we can find online, which can be printed on other printers yourself. Here is an example from Cubify, owned by 3D Systems: ...
Gartner is usually pretty close with their estimates as they talk with all the big boys of the large corporations. If in 3 years it will grow by 20X, what about 10 years? 1000X? Crazy to think...
Away from wholesale pricing, it appears that $18.96 is about as cheap as you will get. 3ders.com has a running list of all the filaments out there as well as a price per kg:...

Shows which printers are listed most on their site. The Ultimaker is #1,...
I agree with Marcus. I think the software needs to be easy enough that a grandmom can jump right into it. This along with printers of decent quality and ease being under the $400 price range and...
Interesting concept. Will all the models be free to download?
5-10 years is an eternity now-a-days when talking technology. In my opinion within 2-3 years we will begin to find some pretty high quality printers in stores like Staples, Home depot, Lowes, and...
LoL, give it a few years and I bet there will be ways to print shoes like this at prices that are 5-10% of the current price of $900. At that point it will be just as cheap to buy 3D printed shoes...
Yeah, I am amazed at all the different techniques in 3D Printing. I wonder which methods will win out at the best, and cheapest. Filament where they melt plastics, or the other methods out there. ...
Wow, did anyone see this? It's a toothbrush, created by Blizzdent which is customized for each tooth in your individual mouth. Supposedly you just bite down, grind your teeth, and you are done in 6...
I know this is also another old one, but shows just how awesome 3D Printing really can be. This eagle which was shot by poachers in 2005 got a new Beak thanks to the advances in 3D Printing:...
This is an oldie, over 16 months old, but goes to show just how awesome 3D printing already is. These legs sell for about 10% of what traditional Prosthetic legs costs, and can be customized for the...
If you recall, earlier this year the 3Doodler hit Kickstarter, and blew away it's funding goals. They brought in over $2.3 million, shattering their measly goal of just $30,000. Well, for those who...
I've been using a few. Once you master a couple softwares, you pretty much can master them all. Many are quite intuitive once you get to know the basic functions.
Which sites do you visit daily, which are related to the 3D Printing Industry?
I will list a few:
