Le Département d'Etat Américain fait retirer les fichiers du 1er pistolet imprimé en 3D
Le gouvernement Américain aura mis deux jours pour réagir à l'annonce du 1er pistolet entièrement imprimé en 3D, et jeudi, l'instigateur de ce projet, Cody Wilson de Defense Distributed, a reçu une lettre du Département d'Etat le sommant de retirer les fichiers mis en accès libre sur le site defcad.org ainsi que 9 autres fichiers pour des composants d'armes à feu.

Mobile Phones for Women's Empowerment
mHealthDebateImage.jpg The proliferation of mobile phones in low- and middle-income countries over the past decade has been rapid and remarkable. This boom in mobile technology offers an incredible opportunity to provide historically marginalized groups, such as girls and women, with increased access to information and education to improve their health and wellbeing. Forbes reports.

quotemarksright.jpg... The benefits of mobile technology reach far beyond the bounds of health in empowering women. For example, 41% of female mobile phone owners enjoy increased economic and professional opportunities due to owning a mobile, and 85% report feeling more independent because of their mobile phone.quotesmarksleft.jpg

The audacious plan to end hunger with 3-D printed food and there will be pizza on Mars
smrc-3d-printer-schematic.jpg According to Quartz, Systems & Materials Research Corporation, just got a six month, $125,000 grant from NASA to create a prototype of his universal food synthesizer.

quotemarksright.jpgAnjan Contractor, a mechanical engineer with a background in 3D printing, envisions a much more mundane—and ultimately more important—use for the technology.

He sees a day when every kitchen has a 3D printer, and the earth’s 12 billion people feed themselves customized, nutritionally-appropriate meals synthesized one layer at a time, from cartridges of powder and oils they buy at the corner grocery store. Contractor’s vision would mean the end of food waste, because the powder his system will use is shelf-stable for up to 30 years, so that each cartridge, whether it contains sugars, complex carbohydrates, protein or some other basic building block, would be fully exhausted before being returned to the store.

... Contractor's initial grant from NASA, under its Small Business Innovation Research program, is for a system that can print food for astronauts on very long space missions. For example, all the way to Mars.

... Pizza is an obvious candidate for 3D printing because it can be printed in distinct layers, so it only requires the print head to extrude one substance at a time. Contractor’s “pizza printer” is still at the conceptual stage, and he will begin building it within two weeks. It works by first “printing” a layer of dough, which is baked at the same time it’s printed, by a heated plate at the bottom of the printer. Then it lays down a tomato base, “which is also stored in a powdered form, and then mixed with water and oil,” says Contractor.quotesmarksleft.jpg
