Rapid prototyping is the process of creating physical objects from computer generated CAD program that a prototype machine can build a 3d design out of plastic or resin. Rapid P

rototyping is used to produce models and prototype parts, fast!
The most frequently asked question I get about weather, or not, to build a prototype is, do I need one?
YES! You will have a hard time attracting attention, buyers and customers if you do not have a tangible product to show them. The next question is where do I find one?
I always tell my clients who are looking for inventor services to go with a referral for a prototype, it is very important to research and do your homework first. Know the terminology first; understand the industry lingo for RP and what different types or material and processes there are. Just like anything else, there are many, many different process for many different application available out there. As with any industry, inexperience usually ends up costing you way more than it really costs. There is no exception here.
Just opening the Yellow Pages may be a bit tricky because you never know what you will end up with. Take some time to ask industry professionals, business owners or other inventors. You would be quite surprised how many referrals will eventually flow in.
I hear horror stories all the time about prototyping services that do nothing but take the inventors money, never to be heard from again, or produce a prototype that my four year old could do a better job creating. Your prototype will be representative of you as a business, your commitment to a quality product and will show how serious you are about bringing that product to market. Not to mention that you want them to purchased the line or product from you. You DO NOT want to show up with it taped, or pinned, to hold it together.
You can do a search on the Internet also. Just type in Rapid Prototype and 10,000 web sights will pop up. You want to pick several companies at a time and interview them. Get customer referrals form them and talk to them, asking how their experience was, how was the prototype turn around time, and how much they charged.
I would recommend the following companies to start and get your feet wet:
I hope this helps!

Data in transit is one of the most susceptible forms of security vulnerabilities in this 21st century. One of the main reasons behind this is not only due to the traffic traversing the public untrusted internet, but also due to the lack of security processes applied by many companies out there.
Transferring or moving data is encountered on a day to day basis, whether you are transferring to a local network drive, sending an email or uploading to your cloud solution of choice. Because of this IT engineers are not the only ones who are prone to such vulnerabilities, however much of the data that is handled by such a community is often sensitive.
Scattered and decentralized files
Many organisations and users have files scattered from cloud solutions, legacy servers, flash drives and on network hosts. This can cause headaches when it comes to auditing a company's systems and security infrastructure.
Firewalls and local infrastructure
An issue for IT engineers is getting data from terminals to easily accessible solutions for further analysis or to send on for TAC cases or to a GUI based application. Most IT engineers encounter firewall policies or the lack of a secure local system to transfer files to, additionally how many files have been transferred to the most accessible server by the host you are currently in? If it is as accessible for you to transfer files to it, would it also not be equally as accessible by a potential attacker?
How does Couchdrop help with this?
Couchdrop allows you to SCP and Rsync directly to secure cloud solutions and applications easily without the need to change firewall rules or rush to stand up new systems, that are potentially vulnerable, to transfer files to, only to have to transfer them to another system or upload them elsewhere soon after. It also allows for control and accountability of files, as all files are stored in a known location, rather than spread over many systems over many sites.
Couchdrop uses the Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) and Rsync. SCP and Rsync establish a Secure Shell (SSH) session as its foundation for its transfer tunnel. The session is encrypted and with this the data is secured during transit.
SSH and Cryptography
SSH utilises public key cryptography. Due to this there are two keys, a public and a private key. Often these keys are automatically generated, however the joys of SSH also allows the end users to create their own RSA key pairs. The public key sits with the host on the remote end and the private key sits with the local host.
Another perk of SSH is that it also requires the likes of a username and password before the session can be established. If the attacker somehow gets a hold of either key, they still require the credentials to establish the session and transfer or pull data utilising SCP.
Once the SCP process has completed. Couchdrop then utilises the Transport Layer Security (TLS) to transfer the file to the selected cloud or endpoint storage solution. TLS is a security technology that establishes an encrypted secure link between a server and client. The encrypted link is established once the server authenticates itself to the client. During the authentication process the client and server establish a set of symmetric encryption keys. Once the authentication has been completed the client and server establish the encrypted session using these symmetric keys.
Couchdrop can save a lot of headaches with security, audits and vulnerabilities as it allows you to get files, where you need them in a secure, structured manner.

I love the little birds on branches, the tasteful ceramic rabbit figures and Easter eggs nestled on paper mesh... all so pretty. I wanted to buy a little of everything to start my Easter decor but the scrooge in me left empty handed. My second thought comes because I didn't really think I would do Easter decorating given I have two boys - but after today, Easter decor has just stepped up a notch and, I'm in. Now, I'm on the hunt for items like I saw today but less expensive… perhaps I'll just buy the rabbit from PB because it was so pretty and perfect for my kitchen. I'll have it go back! :)
Sorry the pictures are a little dark, I took them from my iphone. None the less, I think you'll see what I'm talking about ~ pretty, don't you think?

The healthcare debate rages on and on, and for good reason. Our system is broken, and I have serious doubts about whether or not Obama care fixes it. I also have misgivings about the personal mandate, but once again, I look out at the debate-scape and for the most part, I once again see everyone arguing about the wrong things and asking the wrong questions.
Here's my personal conundrum: My family is lucky enough to have by most standards a pretty good plan. We do have a $30 copay, but I rarely leave the doctor's office feeling like I've resolved much. From the moment the doctor steps in the room, I feel like she's already got a foot out the door. Three scripts, a little chit chat, and I'm done, on my way, and thirty bucks lighter.
In the eight years I've lived here, I've had five doctors — all working in the same practice. One time I peaked into my doctor's actual office, and it looked like a paperwork bomb exploded. The vision hardly inspires confidence. My doctors know little about me beyond what they see in my folder. It's obvious they're overworked. And every bit of care for the most part seems to be administered by a playbook. And if my copay is $30, what's the balance on that visit?
Here's another symptom of the problem: In 2007, I underwent a sleep study that determined I had mild sleep apnea, and the doctor prescribed a CPAP machine. This device blows a steady stream of air into my nose to keep my airways from flapping around so I don't snore and suffocate. I don't remember the exact price of the machine, but Community Surgical Supply likely charged my insurance company at least $900 or more for Community Surgical to supply and deliver it to me.
Recently, that device now out-of-warranty malfunctioned, and I had a choice. I could either have Community Surgical come out and fix it on my dime, or I could ask my doctor to write a new prescription for a new machine. I'm no idiot. Of course, I called my doctor, and I got my new machine. Again, I looked at the invoice: $1500. This time, however, I had some perspective on the matter. I had long given up on Community Surgical to supply the consumables for this thing — the hoses, the nose masks, the filters, etc., because I did a little online research and found a company at CPAP.com which provided the same exact products for less than my deductible!
In other words, Community Surgical, the insurance company supplier of choice marked up the items so high, that my deductible exceeded the actual market cost of the items. In fact, that $1500 CPAP cost $299 at CPAP.com. I could, of course, buy from the website and then submit the bill to my insurance company, but past experience with that method has lead to headaches. Diverge from the standard practice, and you encounter a great deal of resistance, frustration, and confusion.
The lesson I learn from this experience — and others — is that the health care system is broken because it has completely detached the customers from the actual purchasing process. We pay our insurance companies not only to protect us against the costs of getting sick, we also delegate the purchasing responsibilities to them.
Health care insurance is the American dream of one-stop-shopping. In a perfect world, that should give insurance companies incentive to bargain down health care costs, but in practice, the industry, like most large industries, care more about market predictability and stability than they do about the price of my CPAP. They also know that thanks government regulations, we have few (if any) choices for providers, so frankly, it's easier for companies to pass on increase costs to us than it is to drive them down at the suppliers. In other words, for the industry has developed some cozy relationships that does them no good to disrupt.
When was the last time you called up a doctor's office and asked the cost of a visit? Not the copay, but the full visit? In the years I didn't have insurance, I made those calls from time to time. The answer generally went like this: "You don't have insurance? Uh, well, it's [about 50% less than what we charge insurance]."
In the mid-1990s, with no insurance, I decided that three years was long enough to go without a dental exam and cleaning. So, I chose a practice that looked professional enough and made an appointment. When I revealed that I would pay out of pocket, I detected a palpable change in attitude toward me. Suddenly, I had a radioactive glow. I spent more than 90 minutes in the exam chair waiting for someone to even look at me.
At the end of this ordeal, the dentist accompanied me to the cashier, instructing her with a voice loud enough for the whole room to hear, " This gentleman's visit will cost [X], BECAUSE HE DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE." A month or so later, I discovered that the state shut them down for insurance fraud, but the experience gave me the sense that they were trying to play an established game just a little outside the more generally accepted rules.
The health care system has become unmoored and buffered from the laws of supply and demand, plain and simple. This condition has lead to an industry that sustains itself outside of the economic forces that affect the rest of us. We are dealing with a cartel, but one largely created by the rules and regulations originally designed to protect us from such dealings. And now, the government, complicit with causing the problem in the first place, now rides to the "rescue" again? How does that not make me feel better?
Health care, despite its vaunted purpose and importance to our quality of life, is still just another service. When we shop for a mechanic or a vet or a landscaper, we ask a simple question: "How much?" We never seem to ask it of our doctors, and maybe it's time we start before things get really out of hand.

NIU Shooter Described As "Gentle, Quiet"
Steven Kazmierczak checked into a hotel near campus three days before carrying out his deadly shooting spree at Northern Illinois University, paying cash and signing his name only as "Steven" on a slip of paper, according to the hotel manager.
Kazmierczak was last seen at the Travelodge - where he smoked cigarettes and downed energy drinks and cold medicine - on Tuesday, hotel manager Jay Patel said.
The Chicago Tribune reported that authorities found a duffel back that Kazmierczak had left in the room, the zippers glued shut. A bomb squad was called, but investigators found ammunition inside the bag, the newspaper reported, citing law enforcement sources.
Kazmierczak also left behind a laptop computer, which was seized by investigators, Patel told The Associated Press on Saturday.
"It's scary," said Patel, adding that he called police when he found the laptop and clothes, but "nobody's in the room."
The discoveries added to the puzzles surrounding Kazmierczak, a 27-year-old graduate student some called quiet, dependable and fun-loving who returned to his alma mater on Valentine's Day, leaving five people dead before turning a gun on himself.
A former employee at a Chicago psychiatric treatment center said Kazmierczak was placed there after high school by his parents. She said he used to cut himself, and had resisted taking his medications.
He also had a short-lived stint as a prison guard that ended abruptly when he didn't show up for work. He was in the Army for about six months in 2001-02, but he told a friend he'd gotten a psychological discharge.
Exactly what set Kazmierczak off - and why he picked his former university and that particular lecture hall - remained a mystery.
On Thursday, Kazmierczak, armed with three handguns hidden in his coat and a shotgun hidden in a guitar case, stepped from behind a screen on the lecture hall's stage and opened fire on a geology class, reports CBS News affiliate WBBM-TV in Chicago.
He killed five students before committing suicide.
University Police Chief Donald Grady said Friday that Kazmierczak had become erratic in the past two weeks after he stopped taking his medication.
"We were dealing with a disturbed individual who intended to do harm on this campus," NIU President John Peters said, reports WBBM.
University Police Chief Donald Grady said Friday that Kazmierczak had become erratic in the past two weeks after he stopped taking his medication.
Kazmierczak spent more than a year at the Thresholds-Mary Hill House in the late 1990s, former house manager Louise Gbadamashi told The Associated Press. His parents placed him there after high school because he had become "unruly" at home, she said.
Gbadamashi said she couldn't remember any instances of him being violent.
"He never wanted to identify with being mentally ill," she said. "That was part of the problem."
The attack was baffling to many of those who knew him.
"Steve was the most gentle, quiet guy in the world. ... He had a passion for helping people," said Jim Thomas, an emeritus professor of sociology and criminology at Northern Illinois who taught Kazmierczak, promoted him to a teacher's aide and became his friend.
Kazmierczak once told Thomas about getting a discharge from the Army.
"It was no major deal, a kind of incompatibility discharge - for a state of mind, not for any behavior," Thomas said. "He was concerned that that on his record might be a stigma."
Kazmierczak enlisted in September 2001, but was discharged in February 2002 for an "unspecified" reason, Army spokesman Paul Boyce said.
He worked from Sept. 24 to Oct. 9 as a corrections officer at the Rockville Correctional Facility, a medium-security prison in Rockville, Ind. His tenure there ended when "he just didn't show up one day," Indiana prisons spokesman Doug Garrison said.
On Friday, investigators interviewed Kazmierczak's father in Lakeland, Fla., and his former girlfriend in Champaign, the Chicago Tribune reported. Investigators provided no details about what they may have learned. According to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity because the case is still under investigation, authorities were looking into whether Kazmierczak and the woman recently broke up.
A federal law enforcement official confirms to CBS NewsKazmierczak purchased four guns - two last week, two months ago -- at Tony's Guns and Ammo in Champaign, Illinois.
He bought a Remington shotgun and a Glock 9mm handgun. He bought the two other handguns at the same shop - a Hi-Point .380 on Dec. 30 and a Sig Sauer on Aug. 6.
All four guns were bought legally from a federally licensed firearms dealer, said Thomas Ahern, a spokesman for the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. At least one criminal background check was performed - Kazmierczak had no criminal record.
Kazmierczak had a State Police-issued FOID, or firearms owners identification card, which is required in Illinois to own a gun, authorities said. Such cards are rarely issued to those with recent mental health problems.
NIU President John Peters said Kazmierczak compiled "a very good academic record, no record of trouble" at the 25,000-student campus in DeKalb. He won at least two awards and served as an officer in two student groups dedicated to promoting understanding of the criminal justice system.
Kazmierczak (pronounced kaz-MUR-chek) grew up in the Chicago suburb of Elk Grove Village. He was a B student at Elk Grove High School, where school district spokeswoman Venetia Miles said he was active in band and took Japanese before graduating in 1998. He was also in the chess club.
Nobody answered the door Saturday morning at the Urbana home of Kazmierczak's sister, Susan. But sobs could be heard through the door of the Urbana home, where a statement was posted:
"Our heartfelt prayers and deepest sympathies are extended to the families, victims, and all other persons involved in the Northern Illinois University tragedy. We are both shocked and saddened. In addition to the loss of innocent lives, Steven was a member of our family. We are grieving his loss as well as the loss of life resulting in his actions."
At NIU, six white crosses were placed on a snow-covered hill around the center of campus, which was closed Friday. They included the names of four victims - Daniel Parmenter, Ryanne Mace, Julianna Gehant, Catalina Garcia. The two other crosses were blank, though officials have identified Kazmierczak's final victim as Gayle Dubowski.
By Friday night, dozens of candles flickered in packed snow at makeshift memorials around campus as hundreds of students, mostly wearing the school colors of red and black, packed a memorial service.
"It's kind of overwhelming. It feels strong, it feels like we're all in this together," said Carlee Siggeman, 18, a freshman from Genoa who attended the vigil with friends.
