3-D Printing Technology

3-D printing is an additive manufacturing technology where a 3D object is fabricated by laying several successive layers of material. This revolutionary technology creates 3-D models using inkjet technology. A complete model can be created in a single process. This saves time and cost by eliminating the need of designing, printing and then glue together separate parts.

This modern technology has smoothed the path for several new possibilities in various fields. The fields that can take advantages of this technology are production industry, medical field to print body parts for reference of complex surgeries, architects etc.

Recently Engineers in UK have designed, printed and practically tested the world's first aircraft which is mostly manufactured via 3-D printing technology. It's an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and requires no fasteners and no tools to assemble. Isn't it amazing!!!

There are some manufacturers who are selling commercial 3-D printers such as Zcorp, Cubify 3DSYSTEMS etc. But as it's a new technology and not much research or work is done on this, the cost of these available printers is very high. As Cubify is selling a 3D home printer 'Cube' in $1399, which is too expensive for a printer. But enthusiasts can go for such printers to print their imaginations.

Internet - Free for ALL


Google's Project Loon is a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect people in rural and remote areas, help fill coverage gaps, and bring people back online after disasters. As world's 2/3rd population still does not have internet access this technology will change the scenario. This project is under test in  New Zealand started in June 2013. 
Hope this futuristic project from Google will reach to every corner of the world and internet is made available to all without any boundary.
