Customizing Toyota i-Roads With 3D-Printed Parts
Originally published on EV Obsession. Toyota is, despite its stated preference for hydrogen fuel cell cars over electric ones, currently in the process of putting its i-Road electric “trike” through a trial program. As part of these ongoing trials, the company has, interestingly, begun asking users to “customize” the vehicles … [continued]
Millennia-Old Evaporative Cooling Technology/Principle Mixed With 3D Printing — Can It Be Economical?
Are you one of the sorts that thinks that 3D printing, spaceships to Mars, and genetically engineered food are going to save people from ever having any difficulty in their lives? A modern technological solution to everything that makes comfortable middle class people uneasy? Well then, you’ll probably be interested … [continued]
Recycling Plastic Waste & 3D Print Fails Into Filament: The Cruncher
3D printing will involve failed projects. The Cruncher is designed to pelletize those failures, and other forms of plastic waste, in usable filament.
3D Printable Graphene Battery Developed
A completely functional 3D printable graphene battery — one based on graphene nanoplatelet functionalized 3D printing filament — was recently developed by researchers at Graphene 3D Lab. The new prototype 3D printable graphene battery was unveiled at the recent Inside 3D Printing Conference that took place in Santa Clara, California. … [continued]
New 3D-Printed Battery Packs Graphene Punch
A new 3D-printed battery prototype from the aptly named company Graphene 3D lab embeds “nanoplatelets” of graphene in polymer filaments for 3D printing.

Fossil Fuels, Utilities & Gas Cars To Be Obsolete By 2030
RenewEconomy Last year, in an interview with Stanford University’s Tony Seba, we foreshadowed the remarkable conclusions of his new book: that energy and transportation as we know it will be history by 2030. That book, the Clean Disruption of Energy and Transportation, is now published, and it has even more dramatic prognosis: Silicon Valley … [continued]
Versatile LUXeXceL Invests In 3D Printing Factory For LED Optics
In the field of LED optics, one recent improvement has barely been announced, but on the very heels of that another refinement of LED is in progress. Some engineers and their adept associates recently finished the design of efficient 3D printers (for LED OPTICS), but the LUXeXceL engineers and their … [continued]
Make Your Own 3-D Printer Filament From Old Milk Jugs — Exponentially Cheaper Than Buying…
Creating your own 3-D printer filament from old used milk jugs is exponentially cheaper, and uses considerably less energy, than buying new filament, according to new research from Michigan Technological University. Not really a surprise of course, but the numbers are. The savings are really quite impressive — 99 cents … [continued]
