3DLT was recently invited to present at The Dark Horse Competition. The event took place last Friday at the Plug and Play Tech Center in Silicon Valley. Attendees heard keynotes from prominent Chinese and US investors, and pitches from twelve Chinese startups, who were there to compete against twelve American startups, including 3DLT. While Dark [...]
Have you ever been experienced? I have. Lyrics from that Jimi Hendrix song make for a great introduction. Not the kind of experience you get working in an industry for years or even decades, though that’s important. In this article I’m primarily talking about the shopper’s experience. Not the online user experience, though again, that [...]
You got a license for that thing? That phrase could soon take on a new meaning. Instead of referring to certain types of things, it may apply to nearly every…thing. The state of licensing in 3D printing today is in equal parts wild west and gold rush. But, managed correctly, 3D print licensing could create [...]
One of the hottest things we saw at CES, (aside from the INMOTION SCV) was the 3 Doodler. It's the world's first 3D pen. It looks like a soldering iron of sorts. 10" plastic strips go into the back of the pen and you can make 3 dimensional creations and works of art. Some of [...]
My next stop was the Formlabs booth. I’ve been following them closely since the initial crowdfunding of the Form 1 printer back in September of 2012. The project was launched on Kickstarter with a goal of raising $100,000 and in 30 days raised nearly $3 million, making it one of the most successful projects ever. [...]
But even if you’re not sold on 3D printing, you probably wouldn’t be surprised if the card game was manufactured digitally (via 2D digital printing), right? Thirty years ago, when 2D digital printing was just taking off, nearly everyone said that it wasn’t good enough, fast enough, or flexible enough…and that it was just too [...]
Wondering where retailers will get content to drive their 3D printing services? As I’ve mentioned previously, content would likely come from at least three sources. Retailers could crowdsource content directly from designers, animators, engineers, inventors, and makers. 3D scanning is also likely to be a source. In fact, with the advancements being made every day [...]
