You didn't here it from me, but rumor has it that a certain entertainment park lets its engineers do so.

Is the next "big thing" turning atoms into bits?

What’s the next piece of equipment that will convert atom-based products into digital bits? Because of the computer, there’s less reason to release music on disk. Same with video, which is increasingly available for streaming to a screen (any screen) near you. And now books are available in digital versions, although new devices/systems/equipment are still needed to make that transition more efficient. So what atom-converting equipment is next, and is this the next Big Thing?

T. A. Grimm & Associates, Inc. announces a 3D Printer Benchmark that profiles seven systems

Want to know how much a 3D printer will cost you per cubic inch of material? What to know how long it will really take for a system to build a part? A new benchmark study that was just released by T.A. Grimm and Associates, Inc. promises to give you those answers. The printers studied are: Alaris30, Designjet 3D, ProJet SD 3000, SD300 Pro, uPrint, V-Flash and ZPrinter 310 Plus. I just downloaded my copy. It

Why isn't rapid prototyping/additive manufacturing a larger industry?

One question that stuck out at the recent RAPID Show in Anaheim, Calif was; Why isn’t this show bigger with more exhibitors and more attendees? This industry is 20+ years old. When will it become large enough to fill a convention hall rather than a hotel ballroom?




In the last few years, we have seen the introduction of 3D printers small enough to fit on your desktop at prices that are less than $5000. Higher end systems

We need to be more open to discuss why a design failed

Why did a design fail? This is one of my favorite subjects because it is so rich in information. On my LinkedIn site, there's a discussion starting on this subject. A Design World reader found a 40 min video presentation by Scott Berkun, former design engineer at Microsoft. (
