 3D Printers across the World

Sample Projects

Last month I blogged about a new product called a makerbot. Its a 3D printer which prints just about anything you want it to print, but in 3D out of plastic thread. This technology is mind blowing. They had samples of little toys and a very detailed model of a house. That blog post has been quite popular, and about a week back I was contact by Fraser Atkins, founder of a new startup, 3DNation.com . 3D Nation brings people who have those fancy expensive 3D printers with people who have projects they need printed. They say that they are " Up to 6 times cheaper and twice as fast as other sites: simply upload your file and details and wait for us to match you up with a friendly 3D printer". 

I hope to try out this service and when I do I'll do a review . This is a very exciting opportunity for designers.

Multiple workplaces

Over the past month I haven't had the chance to actually sit down and write. Things have been so busy that is simply crazy. In a way its good , but in a way is bad because instead of going to Sequim Wa and relaxing at a beach house , Im at my desk, working on websites, and posters and TV slides and videos. I have two screens hooked up so that my work flow is more visible and there really isn't another way to do it. I have photoshop opened on one screen and the other is opened to Google chrome where I'm surfing the web in search of the perfect stock photo. Im running everything off of my Macbook Pro, running my second screen on an HP W2207h ( connected with lighport to HDMI) . The ipad mini is running the paper app ( favorite sketch tool of all the apps on the market , plus its a seattle developed app). 

This is where I would love to be right now!
