3 New 3D Printed Projects
3D printers will save the world, we know how and it will! And the list gets longer and longer as more evidences piles up showing the multiple truly helpful uses and wonder of 3D printers. From animal preservation, medical and cosmetic surgery, architecture, fashion and design and heck even the sex toy industry is benefitting from it. It’s a truly practical machine that can morph into what you want with a plethora of materials you can use to make it! And just recently we have pushed again the boundaries of what we can make, but this time into things all the world could agree makes us giddy happy and cheerful. What are these? Read on to find out!
Chocolate Sculptures Who doesn’t like chocolates? What if you can transform ordinary melted chocolates into works of art? Yeah it’s “been done before” you may sneer, but into sculptures that defy gravity or into designs you really want? We don’t think so! Normal chocolate sculptures are hard to make, you need a special mold for it, plus the details are not that accurate, but with the power of 3D printing this is now a thing of the past! Smart Gastronomy Lab at the University of Liège in Belgium has created this 3D printer specializing in handling chocolate. Dorothée Goffin the head of this project says they’ll move to other objects to combine food and art with, and they started with chocolate as medium because that’s what Belgium is known for. Well that makes absolute sense! Goffin also says their next project explores pasta as a medium. We can’t wait to try that out!
Bubble Bucket Bubbles could be one of those things that can make even the most serious of adults into reminiscing like a kid again. What if we told you there’s a 3D printed machine that can launch 14,000 bubbles per minute? Bubble Bath Onslaught! The Bubble Bucket is a modified motorcycle chain drive but instead of having a horizontal built its design is vertical and has a 5 gallon bucket at the bottom containing the bubble solution; it doesn’t have a blowing mechanism but instead relies on a wind source like a fan or on a windy day.
Internet Drones
Yeah, it’s already known the aircraft parts can now be 3D printed but making 3D printed solar powered drones that can blanket a third world country with high speed internet? Sign us up please! This joint venture of Google and Facebook has already been making waves since last month and has started its pilot run in Sri Lanka. The project will then focus on African nation this month. Providing internet to those in need without harming Mother Nature?
