New Casts for a 3D World

Posted: 01 Jul 2013 02:35 AM PDT

Breaking a bone sucks from beginning to end, and the initial injury isn't even the worst part. Yes, the pain is usually excruciating at first, but the months of moving around with a cumbersome cast are torture! It's bad enough that you can't move part of your body, but you also can't wash or even itch that part either. Luckily, thanks to 3D printers, there's a better alternative on the horizon.

Jake Evill, a graduate from Victoria University of Wellington, has created a new way of making casts using a 3D printer. The design works by creating customized casts for each patient depending on their injury. The cast is made denser around the parts of the bone that are mending while it's left open in other areas that aren't affected quite as bad.

The system will operate via an Android operating system while supporting all of the newest cross title games too. Reportedly, this is in response to rumors that Apple is trying to develop a gaming console of their own.

3D Printing gets more Support

Posted: 01 Jul 2013 02:30 AM PDT

There's been a ton of 3D printing news during the last couple of months. Most of it has been positive, some has been negative, but there's one major bit of news it all culminates into – 3D printing is getting big! It just got bigger too. Microsoft just announced that Windows 8.1 will come with native support for 3D printing, making it even easier to set it up at home.

This won't change anything right away, as no 3D printers currently make use of support, but it will make a huge difference later down the road. 3D printer companies will be able to integrate their printer with Windows much easier than before, and users will simply have to plug the device in for it to work on Windows – just like with most traditional printers that are on the market today.

The company believes that space tourism is going to soar in popularity and frequency in just a few short years, and fully intends to have a system up and running where people can buy goods and services during their trip.
