gCreate has introduced the next big thing in 3D printing. Meet the gMax 1.5+ and 1.5 XT+. Last fall, Brooklyn-based startup gCreate unveiled a pair of 3D printers in their gMax line: the gMax 1.5 and gMax 1.5 XT. Despite already having one of the larger build volumes on the market, the team has decided to once again improve upon its […]
Cartesian Co.’s rapid prototyping machine is putting the “print” back in printed circuit boards. Despite how far 3D printing has come over the past couple of years, a number of startups have been looking for new ways to take it one step further. Rather than just spit out odds and ends in plastic, what if you could quickly extrude something a bit smarter, […]
A 17-year-old Maker has created a voice-controlled robotic arm with the help of 3D printing and Arduino. You know, the Maker Movement just keeps on amazing us. It goes to show that, with nothing more than some low-cost hardware, a 3D printer and a little ingenuity, an idea can go on to have a life-changing, lasting effect […]
If a 2D picture can say a thousand words, how many can a 3D picture say? Back in 2013, New York City startup Matter and Form launched a slick 3D scanner on Indiegogo. With aspirations of making the next-gen technology both affordable and accessible to everyone, the ATmega32U4 powered machine became an immediate hit garnering over $471,000 CAD. Two […]
One 14-year-old Maker has built a portable, multi-purpose gaming console based on Raspberry Pi. Evident by the recent success of Arduboy, not to mention a number of other projects, do-it-yourself gaming has surely risen in popularity over the years. Take for instance, 14-year-old Maker Rasmus Hauschild, who has developed a portable, multi-purpose Raspberry Pi console. The Maker created a vast majority […]
OwnStar is a device that can locate, unlock and remote start any vehicle with OnStar RemoteLink after intercepting communication between the RemoteLink mobile app and OnStar servers. When director Sam Esmail was casting for his latest cyberpunk–thriller TV series Mr. Robot, we’re surprised serial hacker Samy Kamkar wasn’t in the running for the star role. That’s because, in just the last year […]
Voxel8 enables designers and engineers to create freeform, 3D-printed circuits in place of conventional circuit boards. Traditionally, electronic circuit boards are manufactured in standard shapes. However, the team behind Voxel8 has unveiled a new 3D printing platform that brings together functional materials, hardware and software to give designers a once inconceivable way to integrate electronics into their projects. While previous electronics […]
Is 3D printing the future of homebuilding? If you thought 3D printing a fully-functioning electric vehicle in two days was fast, brace yourselves: one Chinese company has built an entire two-story villa in less than three hours. Hours! Ask anyone who has ever constructed or renovated a home and they will tell you that the dragged-out process can take anywhere […]
This 3D printer from E3D and LittleBox boasts an impressive build volume, modular design and hotend. It’s safe to assume that Makers who’ve dabbled with RepRap and other low-cost, open source 3D printers are most likely familiar with UK-based startup E3D. Combining their experience in crafting high-quality parts, the team has collaborated with fellow British company LittleBox, the designers […]
Researchers have 3D-printed a smart cap for a milk carton that detects signs of spoilage using embedded sensors. 3D printing has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years, ranging from affordable prosthetics and medical implants to on-demand toys and cars. However, a group of UC Berkeley engineers have pointed out, one thing that was missing up until […]
