The Rygo Will Be the Largest 3D Print in North America |
It may be completely mesmerizing to watch a wee desktop 3D printer do its thing layer by plasticy layer, but do you remember our interview with Enrico Dini? Creator of the D-Shape printer? The largest 3D printer in the world? Capable of printing large structures? The D-Shape printer. Imagine watching that thing in action. It’s [...]

Friday Smackdown: Telby Trubo |
Decidedly pertinent as it was, he set forth, silvery landscaped before him and each step sending a minor chord of mischief through the white haze layered against the ground. On his back, the survivors, a small lot, best know for their gun arts and the ability to form bullets from these links. Victorior – The [...]

The Amazing Gravity Stools of Jólan van der Wiel (and His Incredible Magnet Machine) |
After what I’ve just seen, I feel as if I could point my hand at a simmering pool of metal and shape it with the power of my mind. Dutch Designer Jólan van der Wiel is practically doing just that. He’s created a process (and a machine) to pull a metallic-formulated resin from a liquid [...]
