Autodesk Saves Tinkercad from Extinction
www.shapeways.com
on 05/18/2013
Excerpt: Autodesk has announced that it has purchased Tinkercad and it's core technology to resurrect the browser based 3D modeling app from the dead. Several weeks ago Tinkercad killed the popular 3D modeling app, closing new users and announcing a slow death for existing users from the free to the pro accounts. Today's news that Autodesk is saving Tinkercad is even sweeter as it has unlocked all of the pro features so you now have unlimited designs as well as access to the 'superscripts' that take the relatively simple 'drag and drop' assembly of geometry to a greater level of 3d modeling complexity.... read the full post.

on 05/15/2013
Excerpt: According to a report in New Scientist, NASA is funding research that could lead to 3D printed food technology. Texas-based Anjan Contractor of Systems and Materials Research Corporation obtained funding from NASA's Small Business Innovation Research Program to develop a "fully functional" 3D food printer.
The goal of this program is to creat te a way to produce nutritious food, while storing the ingredients compactly, during a lengthy Mars mission. We suspect another major benefit sought is to introduce variety and change into food preparations. If you're stuck in a tiny spacecraft for over a year, you'd like some variety, too.... read the full post.

More 3D Printing Investment Possibilities

on 05/14/2013
Excerpt: When you're interested in investing in 3D printing, there doesn't seem to be a lot of options at first glance. The publicly traded 3D printer manufacturers are few: Stratasys, 3D Systems and most recently, ExOne.
Is that all the choice you have? No! There's more ways to catch the 3D printing boom.
Aside from privately investing in the numerous 3D printing startups, there are several big companies that have key stakes in the 3D printing industry whose stock price should rise as interest increases.
They're software companies. Companies who provide the software tools needed to make use of 3D printing. Here's a few publicly traded companies you might consider checking out:

on 04/28/2013
Excerpt: Considering that Shapeways is located in New York City, it seems a little strange that they did not exhibit at the Inside 3D Printing expo last week. But they had a rather good excuse: they've raised another round of funding from their existing investors to the tune of USD$30M.
Shapeways Director of Marketing Carine Carmy explained that they could not exhibit as they were overwhelmed with the investment announcement, which you must admit is pretty dramatic.
This is a staggering amount of cash, suggesting they have grand plans for world domination, or perhaps merely domination of 3D print services.... read the full post.
