I was curious about the announcement of 3D systems for Cubify in this article. According to the post its going to directly compete with Makerbot’s thingiverse, but it seems that it also has its sight set for Shapeways. Its still in its beta phase however.

Interesting article here from Technology Review about 3D Printing that works to counter this other article. What got me interested however was a link to this other article from that post on how the Warhammer developer issued a DMCA takedown notice on a 3D printing site for sharing 3D plans of its toy designs.

Saw this via Hackaday. Makerbot announced the release of the Makerbot Replicator. It offers a slightly larger work area than the original Makerbot 3D Printer as well as an option to add a double extrusion head to allow for two colors when printing. Check out the video above for details. Price will be $1749 plus a little bit more if you get the double extruder head.

Announced a few days back was the release of the Beta version of Autodesk 123D Catch. Its a software that will allow you to convert photographs into 3D models. Check out the video above for the intro. It’s basically a rebranding of the Photofly project that they announced before.
