2016 Hackaday Prize is here

The 2016 Hackaday Prize has been announced today and its time to leverage your hardware skills and creativity to build something awesome that could change people’s lives and win one of 105 cash prizes totaling over $300,000. This year, they are doing this little bit differently. Instead of one big contest, there are five different challenges, each runs for five weeks, and participants can enter their design project to one or more challenges. The Hackaday Prize is a competition synonymous with creating for social change. Using your hardware, coding, scientific, design and mechanical abilities, you will make big changes in

Continuous liquid interface production enables faster 3D printing

The most common technique of 3D printing is stepwise horizontal layer-by-layer approach to fabricate 3D objects, which is very time consuming and is the same process used by most commercial 3D printers in the market. A team of researches led by Joseph DeSimone, a chemist at University of North Carolina and CEO of Carbon3D, invented Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) technique that can print 3D objetcs from liquid resin at game-changing speeds. Check this cool video of printing a 3D Eiffel Tower model using this approach. Traditional 3D printing requires a number of mechanical steps, repeated over and over again in a layer-by-layer
