L'immense succès de l'édition 2012 de notre salon à Londres nous a permis d'exporter le concept en Europe continentale !

Premier salon du genre en Europe continentale, le 3D Printshow Paris se déroulera le week-end des 15 et 16 novembre sur l'un des sites les plus emblématiques d'une des capitales les plus appréciées du monde !

Ce salon mettra en vedette les dernières merveilles high-tech des quatre coins du globe, ainsi que les plus grands spécialistes de l'impression 3D dans les domaines de l'art, du design, de la mode, de l'architecture et des affaires. Bon nombre des exposants présents au 3D Printshow London seront également de la partie. Vous aurez donc l'occasion d'interagir avec quelques-uns des meilleurs spécialistes de l'impression 3D.

Ce magnifique endroit est le cadre idéal pour présenter les créations artistiques, aménager un étage d'exposition interactive, tenir des ateliers et des séminaires, et offrir un défilé de mode VIP sur impression 3D! En collaborant avec les plus grands noms du monde de l'art et de la technologie, nous avons pu mettre au point des rubriques plus innovantes et captivantes que tout ce que l'Europe a connu jusqu'ici.

Aujourd’hui nous rencontrons Christian Lavigne, poète plasticien né en 1959 dont les travaux novateurs et expérimentaux convergent à la frontière de l’art et de la science. Ce pionnier de la sculpture numérique utilise depuis plusieurs dizaines d’années les technologies d’usinage numérique et de prototypage rapide.

Amsterdam-based DUS Architects has joined the race to build the first 3D-printed house, and has developed its own 3D printer to do the job.

3D printed guns were viewed as more or less a curiosity when they first started to gain mainstream exposure last year. It wasn’t until the tragedies at Aurora and Sandy Hook that 3D printed firearms became a full blown controversy with gun control advocates calling for therenewal of the Undetectable Firearms Act, and opponents, namely Defense Distributed, pushing the boundaries of 3D printed weaponry.

Last week, I told you about the 3D Print-a-thon taking place at Artengine. The Dude and I scored ourselves a couple of tickets and anxiously awaited Saturday, when we would finally see 3D printers in action for the first time. And you know what? It was totally worth it.

A contest to design a machine to produce low-cost filament for 3D printing has been won -- by a Washington State retiree.

Carl Bass, président d’Autodesk, a publié une longue tribune sur le site de Wired pour donner son point de vue sur l’impression 3D. Un avis de poids, alors qu’Autodesk se penche de plus en plus sur cette technologie pour revitaliser sa gamme de logiciels de modélisation.

In order to produce anything, you need three elements: an idea, the means to make the idea, and the money to pay all concerned. For these reasons it comes as no surprise that the entrepreneurial ex...

  The crowdfunding world is very friendly to 3D printing. Four of the top 10 all-time Kickstarter technology projects are 3D printers: Form1, 3D Doodler, Printrbot and the RoBo 3D printer. And there have been many other successful 3D printer ...

Pour faciliter la vie de son fils, grand amateur de LEGO, K'Nex, Duplo et j'en passe, un papa-hacker s'est amusé à fabriquer grâce à une imprimante 3D, 45 connecteurs universels pour plugger tous les jeux de constructions existants avec tous les autres. Notre rêve d'enfant devient alors réalité grâce à ce kit baptisé "Free Universal Construction Kit" (F.U.C.K.)

Two years ago, a Dutch student named Dirk Vander Kooij was designing furniture and preparing for his graduation project when he was inspired by an old 3D printer. So he got his hands on an industrial robot from a Chinese production line and reprogrammed it into a 3D printer to print furniture using recycled materials from old refrigerators. The robot, named Furoc, prints out furniture as a continuous line hundreds of meters long and can produce a chair in a variety of colors and designs in just 3 hours.

This is the world's first 3D printing vending machine. It makes 3D printed designs easily. Users upload designs into a cloud-based system in the machine.

Austin Wilson and Neil Underwood from the North Carolina makerspace Fablocker invented a great, simple process for smoothing out 3D prints using evaporated nail-polish remover in a large jar.

Will the future be printed in 3-D?

At first glance, looking at past predictions about the future of technology, prognosticators got a whole lot wrong. The Web is a garbage dump of inaccurate guesses about the year 2000, 2010 and beyond. Flying cars, robotic maids and jet packs still are nowhere near a reality.
