Is the ONO Smartphone 3D Printer for Real or Just a Good Story? 3D Printer Hardware

On 3DPMN we’ve expressed our doubts on the ONO (formerly OLO) 3D printer before as much as we’ve also highlighted the realistic aspects of this project (and even published a video of it running). However it seems that the hyped-up, Kickstarter-funded, smartphone 3D printer, which collected over $2.3 million during it’s crowd-funding run, is several months late (close to two years, according to some). Although delays may be understandable for any Kickstarter project, many of the backers are beginning to lose their patience.

Disney Develops a Computational Design Tool for 3D Printing Compliant Mechanisms Consumer Products

Disney Develops a Computational Design Tool for 3D Printing Compliant Mechanisms Consumer Products

The engineers at Disney Research developed a computational tool for designing compliant mechanisms that can be 3D produced by 3D printing. The method takes as input a conventional, rigidly-articulated mechanism defining the topology of the compliant design. This input can be both planar or spatial, and supports a number of common joint types which, whenever possible, are automatically replaced with parameterized flexures.
