3D Printed Smartphone Accessory Prototypes Earn Award to Buzz Technologies 3D Printer Hardware

by Technologies

British Inventors Project finalist Buzz Technology are showcasing their vision for two modular concepts which could find their way into future smartphones. Both 3D printed smartphone accessory prototype solutions were showcased at the Gadget Show LIVE! in Birmingham, UK. DRONE-IN-A-PHONE is a tethered microdrone that folds up and fits into a camera case. By placing the battery into the smartphone case, and using a folding mechanism, Buzz Technology’s Senake Atureliya and his team have managed to reduce the size and weight of the drone, thus making it pocket-size. Flight times are significantly increased and the mini drone is able to withstand strong winds.

3D Printed Art Is Coming of Age as MakersForArt 3D Print Caravaggio’s “Flagellation of Christ” AM Software

by Design

It is not our intention to compare ourselves to Caravaggio. It would only be presumptuous, to say the least. However, we would like to explain the tremendous and demanding work of modelling (and not just that!) that was carried out to replicate the Flagellation of Christ in 3D and how this goes a long way to demonstrate that 3D printed art is coming of age.
