Another round of fresh 3D Printing news awaits your perusing (or perhaps leisurely skimming)!
The above image is a rather beautiful table lamp which imitates nature. It's called the Bloom Table Lamp and you can read more about it here.

"With laser beams, molecules can be fixed at exactly the right position in a three dimensional material. The new method developed at the Vienna University of Technology can be used to grow biological tissue or to create micro sensors."

"The Series 1 is the culmination of over a year of engineering work and prototype testing to rethink the way that 3D printers are built. We kept the plywood construction, like many printers, to keep the cost as low as possible but carefully designed everything to make the best printer possible so you can stop spending time fixing unreliable printers, and get creating."
The Series 1 is $1200 fully assembled.

"What RichRap really wanted is to develop a single hot-end with multiple driven feeds. He came up with an innovative designs: a color blending extruder, which is a three way quick-fit extruder and mixer all connected individually and could force filaments into a single hot-end combining nozzle. The nozzle could mix and blend colored filament plastic or even different materials to make colorful prints."

"3D printing technology has given us guns, drugs, arms and robots - but how would you like to print your own car?
That is what a team of engineers in Belgium have created — a racer called the Areion. Developed as part of the Formula Student Challenge, the entire body of the vehicle was produced by the three-dimensional technology."

"hemesh is an implementation of a half-edge datastructure for manipulating 3D meshes in Processing. Basically it’s a toolset to extend my Processing sandbox to a proper playground.
Generating and displaying a mesh requires nothing more than a list of vertices and a list of faces connecting them. This hardly requires a special dataset. However, manipulating a mesh in any but a trivial way requires a lot of connectivity information: neighboring vertices, neighboring faces, shared edges…"
