Awesome Makeway magnetic 3D printed marble-track puzzle raises millions Consumer Products

by Consumer

Makeway is a modular, creative, unique super-puzzle with magnetic bits that attach seamlessly to all ferromagnetic materials-like a fridge, a locker or a whiteboard, a car. Simply move the track, connector and trick pieces around for an exciting brand new marble challenge. Now that it has collected over 4 million euro between the Kickstarter and Indiegogo crowdfunding platforms, the final products will be produced by injection molding, but it probably would have never seen the light if it were not for some intensive 3D printing to make the first prototype in the videos above and below.

Technology has progressed at amazing rates. Think about it: just four decades ago, Sony released the first walkman. Today, you’d be hard pressed to find one in a store and most youngsters wouldn’t even recognize a cassette. For those for whom nostalgia bites hard, a creative design agency has created an homage to the now obsolete Walkman, ironically using state-of-the-art 3D printing technology to do so.

by Business

Women in 3D Printing, an organization dedicated to uplifting women in the additive manufacturing industry, has announced it is working on a special edition of its annual DfAM report (Diversity for Additive Manufacturing). While past editions (there have been three to date) have focused primarily on the gender disparity in 3D printing, this upcoming edition will address a wider form of diversity and inclusion. As part of its research for the report, Women in 3D Printing is inviting members of the AM industry to partake in a quick survey about diversity in the workplace.
