It were the researchers from the Solheim Lab’s that actually showed what other use the 3D printers could be put to, by printing with ceramics. And now the University of Washington’s Solheim Rapid Manufacturing Laboratory has worked out a process to create glass objects using conventional 3D printers.
The typical 3D printing requires material to be powdered, say 20 microns thin, which when placed over a platform on the printer is picked by the binder to place only where required, thus binding the particles together and create the 3D object. Because glass doesn’t readily observe water – the researchers adopting a different approach had to alter the glassy powder adjusting the ratio to liquid. Here by mixing the powder with the binding material, and then heating, the researchers found the grind fused into an object.

Kopin had begun its venture into freeing us from carrying our computing gadgetry everywhere, back in May, when we saw the early renderings of the Golden-I Bluetooth headset. We said the project had potential back then itself, and the early possibilities to affirm so may be on us already.
This Bluetooth Headset with a 15-inch virtual PC display, the Golden-i Gen 2, will be entering field trials this December, while production could begin next year. I’d mentioned that the headset will be available for consumers by 2010, and if all goes as planned for Kopin, they may actually prove me right with this too. (more…)
Hasselblad has made a new addition to its H system with H4D-60. While most DSLRs lack True Focus, Hasselblad has announced this 60 Megapixels medium format camera featuring the all new True Focus technology, with Absolute Position Lock, to make photography accurate and just so precise for all professionals.
We were blown by the H3DII-50 – Hasselblad’s 50 Megapixel camera released last year, and we find ourselves sailing in the same boat of fantasy after this new 60MP introduction. Fearturing automatic adjustment for color, vignetting and other image qualities, the camera can be easily tagged with the computer over FireWire.
