A red bleeding edge artifact

I liked this one ;-) very cool :-D Soooooo bleeding edge, we HAD to maked it RED ;-)

RepRap project, the beginning of an adventure …

The RepRap project; an open source 3D printer, with all the technologies including inside it is a magnificent piece of technology to learn and study deeply. A combination of chemistry, physics, computer science, robotic technology and etc. Something that is produced by prosumers for prosumers(or even consumers as you don’t have to develop it further). A good that belongs to the non-rival(or even anti-rival), non extendable part of the production world. A product of CBPP in the public domain which in 5 years since Adrian came up with the idea, has managed to build a strong community in many different countries all around the world, dedicated developers around it and last but not least three functioning versions of 3D printers. I am honored to say that I am leading this project at Robotica Osloensis. Our first objective is to study and learn the RepRap concept and later take part in the development of this artifact. More updates on this project later.

Food Printing, future cooks would not wear hats ...

I had always mentioned Food Printing in my discussions with my fellow robotic calssmates at university. I even mentioned this in our team essay in a course I took at university of Oslo(INF5780 - Open source, open collaboration and innovation), where we wrote an essay about Open Source 3D Printing technologies and RepRap was the focus. Today while surfing on Internet for different open source 3D printing technologies available, I suddenly came across another open source 3D printing platform called Fab@Home which some French students are trying to develop a materials platform for printing food on the Fab@Home. Read more about it here.

RepRap

I am currently writing a report about RepRap at a course I take at university of Oslo(IFI), called INF5078(Open source, open collaboration and innovation). I will post my report here later.
