Now That’s Camouflage!

Found on Neatorama

We’ve seen examples of funny military camouflage before, here’s an actually brilliant one: MultiCam by Crye Precision.

You can see just how effective the camouflage is: there is a guy
slightly left to the middle of the picture above. This is actually one
of the easiest to pick out - there are photos where you just can’t see the guy.

The company’s website has a neat gallery where you can play “Where’s Waldo.”

Bad email address

I just figured out that the email listed in the about tab was not hooked up.

So, if you have sent email in the last year or two and I have not answered, now you know why.

Embarrassed,

3D Printers to Dip Below $5,000 USD This Year

Desktop Factory to introduce 3D printer for $4,995 USD

3D printers have been around for industrial use roughly a decade, but they have been matched with outrageous price tags. The first models to hit the market were priced at about the same as a fully loaded Mercedes S-Class, while models today can be bought for about the price of a Honda Civic. The price erosion is expected to continue in the next few years with prices dropping below $5,000 USD by the end of 2007.

3D printers are already in use by doctors, dentists, architects and even the U.S. military. The high price tags of existing 3D printers may have not been a turn-off for the aforementioned group, but was completely out of reach for consumers.

Desktop Factory — a company founded by IdeaLab –  is aiming to bring to market a consumer-oriented 3D printer this year for $4,995 USD while the cost of materials is expected to be $0.50 per cubic inch. “We are Easy-Bake Ovening a 3-D model,” said IdeaLab chairman Bill Gross.

The Desktop Factory 3D will build models layer by layer from bottom to top. The models are constructed using nylon which is mixed with aluminum and glass and then hardened by heat. The Desktop Factory 3D printer will measure 25″ x 20″ x 20″ and weighs less than 90 pounds. It can build 3D models up to 5″ x 5″ x 5″ constructed of layers 0.010″ thick.

“In the future, everyone will have a printer like this at home,” Cornell University Professor Hod Lipson. “You can imagine printing a toothbrush, a fork, a shoe. Who knows where it will go from here?”

The possibilities are endless for the consumer according to Desktop Factory director of sales Joe Shenberger. “You could go to Mattel.com, download Barbie, scan your Mom’s head, slap the head on Barbie and print it out,” said Shenberger. “You could have a true custom one-off toy.”

“When laser printers cost more than $5,000, nobody knew they needed desktop publishing,” added A. Michael Berman, CTO for Pasadena’s Art Center College of Design. “The market for 3-D printing isn’t as big as for laser printers, but I do believe it is huge.”

Print Electronic Circuits with HP Printer

Found on DIY Live

Here is a cool DIY that will let you print from your HP printer onto a circuit board.

“A desktop printer loaded with a silver salt solution
and vitamin C has been used to produce electronic circuits. The UK
researchers behind the feat say their experimental device could pave
the way for safer and cheaper electronics manufacturing. PhD student
Seyed Bidoki loaded a standard Hewlett Packard ink-jet printer with a
solution of metal salts and water. After a pattern is printed using the
solution, a chemical known as a reducing agent is then printed over the
top to make solid silver form.”
