Create your very own desktop factory with a home 3D printer
March 22nd - 84 Responses


3dprinter.jpg

3D printing technology is one of my most anticipated technological advancements. Sure it’s been around for awhile, but, it’s just not there quite yet, not until we can walk into Staples and easily walk out with our very own personal 3D printing device. The engineers behind the Desktop Factory are working hard on making this a reality, with their personal 3D printer, currently being tested for use in the engineering and design fields. The printer can take your 3D mock up and mold a durable, functional model from the bottom up, one layer at a time in sturdy composite plastic. The composite plastic material can easily be sanded down and painted making it of special use to industrial designers who rely on turnaround time. The Desktop 3D printer measures just 25x20x20 inches and weighs less than 90lbs, meaning it won’t take up too much space in your factory or design studio.

Not for sale yet, the 3D printer is currently undergoing a pre-sale, with a target price of $5,000 to $7,000 dollars US. As Desktop Factory says, imagine when your child can design their own small toy model or order a design off the internet, then simply ‘print’ it out and paint it. I can’t wait for the future.

    Hello, I recently opened up my safe, and inside a small book from the 1850′s that I have, had some yellow and black mold in it… In some spots it is powdery but it sort of smears if I wipe it. Does anyone know how I can safely get rid of the mold!? I don’t want to risk spreading it in my safe to the other items that are in it, so I am keeping the book out for now. I had a Desiccant pack, I thought that would take care of the moisture, and I was careful about opening the safe on high humidity days, or rainy days in case of moisture… Does anyone have suggestions how to fix this and get rid of the mold in the book!? Thanks alot for any information, I appreciate it!

    When I recently came across your weblog and have been reading along, I was thinking I would write my 1st comment. I don’t know what to say other than I enjoyed browsing. Great blog page. I will keep on reading this webpage more often.
