3D printing is not a new concept. It has been around for quite some time. However, until quite late, this technology has been confined to labs and research sites, not available commercially to a common user. Now, however, 3D printers and 3D printing have become lot more common, commercially too.
Apple has been trying to distance itself from Google Maps and to offer a similar service of its own for iOS users. The company has been warming up for this for quite some time, acquiring a number of other ventures which could help it in this.

3D printing is taking leaps and bounds in becoming more usable and useful for even common users. While the technology was once a very expensive enterprise, it is steadily becoming more accessible to everyone. Now, you can even create a tilt-shift camera lens adapter with the help of 3D printing.

The use of 3D effects in sci-fi, fantasy and action movies are common today. These effects are created using specialized softwares and advanced techniques. Recently, two Carnegie Mellon fellows has made their mark on 3D effects creation with some innovative hacks. Carnegie Mellon University’s Studio for Creative Inquiry has created some distinctive 3D video effects by hacking the depth camera of the Kinect gaming console and video from a digital SLR together.
Huawei is conventionally known for producing low-budget, low-end smartphone devices which are primarily intended for the developing markets. However, in recent times, the company has been trying to break into the smartphone market in developed regions. For this purpose, it is trying to add high-end specs to its smartphones.
A 3D printer is a materiel printer that can construct 3D objects from 3D modeling data. Unlike other machines that uses subtractive process, this type of machines put successive layers to construct. A company named Solidoodle has recently introduced the first sub $500 3D Printer. The reason behind setting such low price, near one third compared to its competition, is the company’s desire of bringing 3D printing to mainstream, says company founder Sam Cervantes.
Silicon Valley startups keep spinning out the most innovative and latest of technologies and they never fail in surprising us. Now, Matt Bell with the two co-founders of the company, Dave Gausebeck and Mike Beebe, is currently working on a user-friendly system that can make creation of complex 3D models a really easy task. Watch the video posted below to see how it may work.
3D printers have been a very popular concept, given the fact that they can be used by virtually everyone to create 3D models of anything one wants to. However, to this day, the chief problem in getting 3D printers has been their hefty prices, at least for the common users. Now Solidoodle has tried to eliminate that barrier by bringing the price of a 3D printer down to less than $500.
