This 6-Axis 3D Printer May Be The Future Of Additive Manufacturing

"At the University of Southern California, Professor Yong Chen and students Xuan Song and Yayue Pan have created what they call a 6-axis 3D printer. It bucks the standard 3D printer model of an extruder confined to the X, Y and Z axes that can only print in layers. Instead, this 3D printer can print in multiple directions and doesn’t even have to conform to layer-based modeling."

Hatch Live: Head to Head Design Challenge in NYC

"The competition is a knockout tournament with a series of head-to-head matches. Competitors will aim to create a new product within a product category (e.g., seating, home storage) each match while also fitting within the bounding shape constraints (e.g., z,y,z dimensions). Up to 8 people will be selected to compete live."

Scientist says we could soon '3D print' alien DNA from Mars

" "I am confident that life once thrived on Mars and may well still exist there today," Venter writes. "If we can beam them back to Earth we should be able to reconstruct their genomes. The synthetic version of a Martian genome could then be used to recreate Martian life on Earth." "
