Italian students convert inkjet printers into 3D printers-EBY

 Although the 3D printer also belongs to the printing equipment, but with the ink used for printing on the paper printer is clearly a huge difference. And recently, according to foreign media reports, an Italian 18-year-old student spent only 10 euros, the inkjet printer will be successfully converted into a 3D printer.
It is reported that the student named Lizzit removed three old inkjet printers and a flatbed scanner to get the necessary parts. Lizzit said the scanner's plastic sheet was reported to provide very good adhesion for printing, but still need to purchase extruded head, ATmega328, driver board and a large current transistor and other parts to modify the 3D printer.
According to reports, this 3D printer can achieve 33 micron print resolution, after updating the firmware, it can automatically clean the nozzle blockage, and choose the correct filament temperature and so on. Lizzit said the project was designed to prove that the use of linear encoders from inkjet printers can be performed with fairly accurate printing and is inexpensive.
 
An ordinary and affordable inkjet printer, through the human brain's rich creativity and imagination, converted into a three-dimensional printer, which is not only save money is to save money. While the EBY brand printer cartridge can also bring you the same creativity.

Mike McCue: Flipboard Brings Beauty Of Print Onto The Web

图片
If you haven't caught up, Flipboard is a new iPad app that has the geek crowd raving. Michele Norris spoke to Flipboard CEO Mike McCue. The app brings the beauty of print, as McCue puts it, to the social content of the Web. McCue, a Silicon Valley veteran, was one of the founders of Tellme, a company that specializes in voice-based programs like the ones used for directory assistance services. The company was sold to Microsoft for $800 million. Now, he has great expectations for his "social magazine." And he talks a little a bit about the business model for Flipboard, which, he says, will likely look a lot like that of an old school business — the publishing world. Listen to the whole interview above. This, by the way, is the first in a series of conversations with tech CEOs. Who would you like to hear from next?

Morriston Hospital rebuilds cancerous jaws with 3D printing

图片
A surgical team at Swansea's Morriston Hospital has created a technique to reconstruct jaws affected by cancer using 3D printing, said to be one of the first of its kind in the world. The method uses 3D printed titanium implants that are anatomically specific to the patient. Store worker Debbie Hawkins from Swansea was the first patient to have the "amazing" procedure. Surgeons rebuilt a section of her jawbone after she developed a tumour. The technique combines traditional bone grafts with 3D printed titanium implants that can be created to fit an individual patient's anatomy. Ms Hawkins said: "When they told me what the procedure involved I was scared at first. I really didn't know what to expect. But what they have done, and the aftercare I have received, has been absolutely amazing". She was in hospital for just two weeks after her operation in August last year, which also used 3D technology to plan the operation in advance. She was able to ...
