Backer concern grows over Team Owl Works’ Morpheus delta 3D printer, company says an update is imminent Research & Education

There’s no denying that being a startup can be tough and often entails a journey marked by ups and downs. For South Korean 3D printer startup Team Owl Works, things began promisingly enough as it successfully raised over $244,000 dollars through a 2016 Kickstarter to bring its Morpheus delta resin 3D printer to life. Since then, however, things seem to have stagnated somewhat with the company which has recently drawn concern from backers of the project.

There was a time when many people who were starting to familiarize with 3D printing did not see any real value in 3D models and thus limited their exploration to free models from Thingiverse and other free 3D model databases. Not much has changed but, as 3D printing becomes more widespread, and people’s capabilities improve, the demand for higher quality models for more challenging projects is starting to increase. For example with this impressive 3D printable jet model

Emerging Objects technology used to restore underwater corals Construction 3D Printing

As construction 3D printing projects on land continue to grow, it has also become clearer that one of the first and most beneficial applications of digital and additive construction technologies is for reconstructing the Ocean’s floor in a way that favors repopulation by corals and fish. Based on years of coral restoration research, supported by designers and engineers, studio Emerging Objects worked with Boston Ceramics and the SECORE organization to develop a new generation of 3D printed settlement substrates that aim at meeting coral larvae’s needs while equally fulfilling requirements for effective reef restoration. Right now, the first prototypes are being tested in the field.
