3D printers are all over the news these days and seem to be a piece of technology set to create a revolution in more ways than one. The fact is the revolution has already started; doctors, scientists, fashion designers, artists and many other fields are using the hardware to radically alter the way they go about their respective jobs.

Rediscovery Sometime in the 1990s an anxious young woman, planning her marriage, spotted a photograph in an issue of Martha Stewart Weddings magazine. Its subject was a wedding invitation. Wow, she said to no one in particular, that’s beautiful. She stared at it hard. She imagined her own name and her fiancee’s on its stiff, chalk-white surface. I mean — she ...

A Seattle-based design firm, Artefact, has done preciesly that. Meet SWYP Artefact call their creation SWYP, for See What You Get, and it would appear to be to the mundane printer what Apple's iPhone was to the mobile phone: a simple black box with a touchscreen interface that performs the same functions but works simply and easily.

Pogo's stay at the helm of ultra-mobile printers is coming to an end. The world's smallest printer, PrintBrush, is about to be unveiled before this year ends. It's developed by a London company called PrintDreams and it fits in the palm of your hand. The technology behind the printer is quite different from what we have seen so far. The printer ...
Printers are perhaps the only gadgets that have evolved from the dust to a device that can fly a rocket. Well, I exaggerated the rocket part a little. But, yes, printers have been played around and the result is a super-multi-functional device. The latest manufacturer to exploit the printer is Lexmark with their Interact range of printers. These printers have ...
Many industry experts including myself believe that Lexmark printers have been under-achieving for the past year and a half.
