One day, engineers at NASA are hopeful, astronauts will be able to repair a worn or damaged component in space in a matter of hours rather than week or months — by simply making a new one. In space. A simple solution 3D printing is the way forward. A spacecraft equipped with a functioning 3D printer and a cache of materials needs ...
Emerging, 3D printing technology has seen applications in industries from fashions and auto parts to food and now perhaps the most surprising new use yet: artificial blood vessels. Generating soft tissues on a printer A team of researchers at Stuttgart's Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology has made breakthroughs in the generation of synthethic capillaries – the tiny and exremely ...
3D printing has been the subject of research and experimentation for years. Now it is moving from plastics, metal and ceramics into a new frontier: Food. Molecular gastronomy Dave Arnold of the French Culinary Institute and Jeffrey Lipton, a mechanical engineering PhD student, are working together at Cornell University's Creative Machines Lab to create the next revolutionary appliance you are going to ...
Industry leader HP, who for all practical purposes invented modern, personal printers and scanners, appears determined to lead the charge onto the cloud as well. Thirteen new cloud-ready printers The technology giant has just announced no fewer than thirteen new printers and scanners, emphasising Web-connected printing and advanced scanning. Many of them target the cost-conscious small and mid-size business market. The ...
Tokyo-based Epson has announced that it is expanding its “Epson Connect” range of services, including the Email Print and Epson iPrint applications, to mobile devices. Coming soon The final, as-yet unnamed product is expected to be unveiled in the Autumn of 2011. Owners of enabled Epson printers will be able to use it to print from their iPhones and mobile ...
Printers have evolved from the uninspiring contraption at the other end of your PC's parallel cable (how many of us still remember those?) into multi-functioned devices that are just about unrecognisable from the printers of only ten years ago. Today's machines can scan documents as well as print them. They can send and receive faxes. They can photocopy. And that's ...
It’s coming, and if industry pundits are even close to right, it’s very nearly here. Would you like to be able to print full-colour at 60 pages per minute? Read on... Memjet is new technology, and it looks to be ready for the marketplace. It replaces the conventional, back-and-forth scanning inkjet printhead that we all know so well with a single, ...
Laser printers, for years the choice of businesses because of their speed, their low costs per copy and their high volume of printed output, will be replaced by inkjets – or so says Epson, who report that they are reinvesting seven per cent of their annual revenues into inkjet research and development. It is a little-known fact that Epson, unlike ...
Perhaps the best way to answer this question is with a scenario I imagine is very common in your life. Imagine this scene if you will… You are sat on the lavatory in the Hong Kong branch of McDonalds surfing the net on your smart phone for new images of Mr T (hey, we’re not here to judge). You find a ...
Canon, founded in Tokyo back in 1937, has for decades been a world leader in just about everything that involves images, including printers. A listing of the company’s technical innovations is imposing, but even that does not tell the entire tale; the original HP LaserJet, introduced in 1984, was built around the Canon LBP-CX photocopier engine, as was Apple’s Laserwriter. ...
