Smart pacifiers and 3-D printers: The coolest gizmos from CES
We came. We saw tech. We geeked out.
Like the other 170,000-plus attendees, I’m still coming down from the tech high that was the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. With 2.2 million square feet of gadgets, everyone from Samsung to the Girls Scouts were showcasing the latest advancements in technology. It was a jam-packed and memorable few days, culminating with my last stop on the show floor, when I competed against a beer-pong playing robot. Here are some of the most interesting finds from the show.
3-D Systems, 3-D Printers CocoJet and EKOCYCLE
There were enough 3-D printers on the floor this year to fill a football field. One company to keep your eye on: 3-D Systems. Their booth sure caught everyone’s attention, with a 3-D printed band playing tunes, models striking poses in 3-D dresses, 3-D printed candy emojis for snacking and celebrity sightings galore. The company produces an array of impressive 3-D printers for personal and professional use, and they can print ceramics, edibles, medical parts, plastics, metals and more. Two other standouts from their product line: I finally got a sneak peek of the Hershey’s CocoJet printer, which lets you design your own chocolate (there was big buzz last year around this announcement). And I had a nice chat with CEO Avi Reichental and will.i.am, who is 3-D Systems’ chief creative officer, regarding the EKOCYCLE Cube, which, in partnership with the Coca-Cola Company, can print from recycled plastics.
