Now that it’s aired, I can embed the video right here:
We shot a timelapse of the Thing-O-Matic printing the show’s logo and showed off a bunch of the 3d prints I’ve made.
It was a fun experience and I think the segment turned out quite well.
Last weekend I had the opportunity to try out 3D Systems’ new product, the Sense 3D Scanner. It’s a handheld 3D scanner that allows you to scan just about anything from small objects to buildings. My pal Eugene from Tinkerine Studios brought it over shortly after purchasing it. I’ve been using a Microsoft Kinect and…

Cool! Thanks for that. Glad to see they’ve come to a reasonable price point. What’s next?

Aaaah! What a cool demo. 3D printing is really cool… can’t believe this is getting to a consumer level!
I recently ordered a miniature figurine of my avatar that was 3D printed and was amazed by the results.
Thanks for sharing this John! Super cool!
