The ultimate in VIP Handbag making luxury craftsmanship. The Iconic House of Louis Vuitton always provides us with fabulous and priceless pieces.

Amazon loops in third party sellers with holiday promos
Summary: Amazon, aiming to be the de facto e-commerce platform for third party sellers, is including its allied merchants in its holiday deals program.
Amazon is throwing some holiday promotional perks to its third party sellers as competition from rivals heats up.
The company on Monday said that its third party sellers, thousands of merchants that sell on Amazon's platform and expand the site's selection, sill be included in its holiday deals promotion program.
Amazon's deals show up on merchandising pages with limited time discounts. The promotional areas open to third party sellers are the Gold Box Deal page, Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions.
It's worth noting that Amazon's move comes as Wal-Mart is ramping a third party seller network. Meanwhile, eBay is also preparing for the holiday season. Amazon has already included third party sellers in its Amazon Prime program if the e-commerce giant fulfills their orders.
According to Amazon, unit growth from third party sellers in the U.S. jumped 40 percent in the 2012 holiday season.
The end game here is obvious: Amazon wants to be the e-commerce platform of choice as brick-and-mortar retailers step up their multichannel efforts. At some point, the "e" in e-commerce is going to disappear. It's all just shopping.

Have you ever noticed that bands and artists often follow a preset cycle, especially in the close-knit community of Christian music? A band usually begins life as an independent act. If they develop a strong enough following, they likely sign with a record label to take their music to a wider audience. Then if the band does well enough at that level, they broaden into the business side by starting a record label or producing other artists—kind of like actors who say they really want to direct.
It's a circle of life applicable to so many, including the mega successful MercyMe. Lead singer Bart Millard and producer Pete Kipley have formed the unfortunately named Simple Records as an imprint of INO, and The Afters represent their first signing. Formerly known as Blisse, this Dallas band got its start seven years ago after lead singer Josh Havens played some informal gigs at the Starbucks where they worked together, and then later at a missions conference. Bassist Brad Wigg and drummer Marc Dodd soon joined after an early positive response. After successfully working the indie circuit and eventually attracting the attention of MercyMe, The Afters now have a record deal, a prominent opening tour slot with MercyMe and Jeremy Camp, and a co-distribution deal with Epic Records for potential mainstream crossover.
With many career developments similar to MercyMe's history, it's easy to understand why The Afters are being heavily hyped as one of the next big potentials in Christian music.
If you like the Brit rock of Delirious and Jason Morant, "Love Lead Me On" and "Love Will Make You Beautiful" fit the bill, and there's some of that majestic Coldplay simplicity heard on "Wait," written by Wigg some years ago but that Havens says reminds him of his father, who died recently. Both "Someday" and the first Christian radio single "You" combine the dreamy alternative pop sounds of Sleeping at Last and Smashing Pumpkins with the punk-influenced driving rock of Sanctus Real. Fans of generic, radio friendly rock by Vertical Horizon and By the Tree will enjoy "The Way You Are," and of course, there's an obligatory worship anthem reminiscent of MercyMe with "All That I Am."

i finally made the nice chevron pasta necklace from Design Sponge. like it? like it more/less if I tell you the fur is from a cat? Cat fur was regularly sold for therapeutic reasons related to rheumatism until a couple years ago. I got a skin at a flea market for 1e in Weimar. a bit creepy, but I like to honour the animals by not just throwing them in the trash. what do you think about recycled furs?
sick thing from Proenza Schouler. make your own with this plan from Honestly WTF.
today i was wearing one of the flower radiator knobs I found in the old hospital.
I followed this super DIY by honestly…wtf and made this nice necklace. I used a chain from an ugly old purse strap and a green string I found hanging around. any ideas for a recycled solution for the pompoms? im going to look for other nice textured materials.

Although its sentimentality, serious life lessons, and campy humor sometimes coexist less than peacefully, this modest outing from Muriel's Wedding director P.J. Hogan goes down easily thanks to the low-key performances of Kathy Bates and Rupert Everett. Bates, as jilted homemaker Grace Beasley, and Everett, as the secret gay lover of Barry Manilow-esque crooner Victor Fox, never oversell the feather-light material or take themselves too seriously. Even during the film's thoughtful moments, their performances are assuredly low-key. That leaves the broad comedy in the hands of supporting players Meredith Eaton (as a wonderfully profane daughter-in-law who just happens to be a little person) and Lynn Redgrave (as Fox's grasping, hypocritical sister). Peter Sarsgaard plays a window washer with the soul of a poet and a terrible secret, but he's far more convincing in his enigmatic early scenes than he is during the exaggerated denouement. Dan Aykroyd, as Grace's estranged husband, plays it surprisingly straight, but Jonathan Pryce gets to have fun as the retro pop singer whose death sets the plot in motion. If the script had been a little more over the top and a tad less concerned with Oprah-style epiphanies, Unconditional Love might not have gone straight to cable in the United States. As is, instead of a big-screen misfire, it's a pleasant small-screen trifle.

Riders taking part in Evansville's 7th Annual Mad Max Ride covered 100 miles Saturday in an effort to raise money for Riley Children's Hospital and Deaconess Riley Children's services.
The founder says he wanted to bring something special to southern Indiana and this was it.
The fundraiser started at 9:00 in the morning with over 100 bikers, but more than 400 bikers were expected by the end of the day.
"We started out the first year with 26 people. We raised 7,400 that year and this is our 7th year and so far we've raised over 140,000 and that's not counting this year so far," said John Maxwell, ride founder.
The ride ends at Burdette Park where there will be food, bands and items up for auction.
The public is invited to attend.

Singer STEVIE NICKS recently spoke of her opinion on NICKI MINAJ, who had been cursing out her "American Idol" co-judge, MARIAH CAREY, saying:
"If I were Mariah, I would have strangled her to death."
Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj's ongoing feud on "American Idol" may be staged for ratings but people are definitely taking it seriously.
Following rapper Example's slam about the "Starships" singer. "Fleetwood Mac" singer Stevie Nicks also ranted about the new war freak judge who allegedly threatened to shoot Mariah.
Nicks said:
"How dare this little girl! If I had been Mariah I would have walked over to Nicki and strangled her to death right there."
The enraged 64-year-old singer continued:
"I would have killed her in front of all those people and had to go to jail for it."
Clearly, many are siding with Mariah.
But whose side are you on?

I had a chance recently to sit down and listen to Jim Kelleher, CFO of LogMeIn, at a recent meeting of the Massachusetts High Technology Leadership Council as he described his experiences with SaaS Sales Compensation plans. It's always interesting to hear what others are doing with their sales comp strategies and plans, especially from someone with such a broad level of experience and a track record of success in the SaaS world. I am happy to share with you this brief breakdown of some real world advice from Jim.
Background: LogMeIn is a SaaS business in the classic sense:
In the SaaS world, it's critical to understand if your corp. strategy is based on growth (new sales) or stability (renewals). You need to be sure your plans reflect this strategy and are not rewarding salespeople for doing things you do not want them doing. Lets dive right into the meat of the discussion:
Core Plan Questions; How to handle new & renewal sales?
Plan Structure:
Be flexible:
Simplicity is critical:

La Iglesia de San Agustin, Manila
Posted by March 11, 2007on
I know this is not my first time to post about the San Agustin Church. And I have been itching to go back to this UNESCO World Heritage Site but my work schedule keeps me from visiting it.
This photo was taken last June 24, 2006. The photo shows the detailed artwork on the ceiling of the San Agustin Church. The ceiling looks like a detailed wood carving, right? No. Its not a carving. In fact the ceilings of San Agustin are all splashed with paintings. So realistic that they all look like wood carvings. This kind of art technique is called Trompe-l'oeil. In French, it roughly means "trick the eye". This technique tries to depict drawings in a 3 dimensional manner.

Thanksgiving is less than a week away and many folks are thinking about how they will prepare their turkey. Deep frying is very popular, but it can also be very dangerous.
Demonstrations of fried turkey fires are all over the internet. Experts say if you don't take the right safety precautions, you could be serving danger for dinner this holiday.
More cooking fires occur in the U.S. on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year, and many of the fires are caused while deep frying a turkey.
"If they don't do it right, they not only have the possibility of losing their home, but they have the possibility of injuring themselves to the point to where they could die," said Pamela Taylor, EMS Division Chief for the Westfield Fire Department.
There are several things you will want to remember, said Chief Barrett.
"Make sure you cook outside. Get a fire extinguisher, not your hose, get a fire extinguisher, make sure you have it on hand to be safe."
You also want make sure your turkey is not frozen.
"The turkey will explode in that oil and that oil will go all over the person," said Chief Taylor.
You also need to use the right amount of oil.
To avoid spilling over, Chief Barrett suggests to place the turkey in the fryer fill it with water till it reaches the top of the turkey then take the turkey out and mark a line on the side of the fryer-- then you know how much oil to use and you're ready to deep fry the safe way.
The National Fire Protection Association said deep fryer fires result in more than $15 million in property damage each year in the U.S.

The Panthers came to term with one of their restricted free agents Thursday, signing defenseman Erik Gudbranson to a two-year deal.
Gudbranson, 22, just completed his third NHL season after being the third overall pick of the 2010 draft.
Im very fortunate to have this deal, to be with the team for the next two years, Gudbranson said from his home in Canada on Thursday.
Thats very exciting with the moves we made summer, the players we brought in are all quality individuals. Itll be exciting to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Obviously this is a short-term deal but it works out well for both sides.
General manager Dale Tallon could have offered Gudbranson a longer deal, but said Thursday that the two-year contract worked out best.
With Florida retaining Gudbransons rights when this new pact expires following the 2015-16 season, this bridge contract allows the team flexibility as it hopes Gudbranson takes the next step in his development. In three seasons with the Panthers, Gudbranson has scored five goals with 16 assists in 169 games.
Hes excited and were excited, Tallon said. Hes going to grow and get better. Its all positive. Ive said this time and time before, but it takes 300 games to become a good NHL defenseman. Historically, thats the number. Were getting close to that number with [Gudbranson]. Its a tough position, tough to learn. But now he has more support.
Tallon still has plenty of work to do with his remaining restricted free agents. Florida has tendered offers to the likes of Dmitry Kulikov, Brandon Pirri and Dylan Olsen.
Winger Jimmy Hayes has elected to take the Panthers to arbitration to decide his deal although the two sides could come to terms before his scheduled hearing July 29.
• The Panthers will hold their final day of development camp Friday with an intrasquad scrimmage starting at 9 a.m. Camp is being held at the IceDen in Coral Springs and is free and open to the public.

A Healy man is dead due to a single car accident this morning.
Alaska State Troopers responded to the collision on Healy Spur Road in Healy just after midnight.
According to a release, the call came in from the University of Alaska Fairbanks EMS reporting a single vehicle fatality collision.
Investigation revealed that 24-year-old William Revely IV of Healy lost control and rolled his Chevy Suburban.
Two other passengers were in the vehicle and received minor injuries but refused medical attention.
Revely was killed in the crash and Troopers say alcohol does seem to be a factor in the accident.
All occupants were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash; next of kin has been notified.

Wasting Forever
Summary: The Doctor enters Rose's room for the first time in a long time…
Word Count: 2,056
"I'm just saying…Forever's a pretty long time, even if it's only my forever. That's a lot of time to waste." Somehow, he gets where she is going with this. He squeezes her hand and then moves his own so that it is wrapped around her waist, so that he is half-hugging her as they walk back to the TARDIS.
"Well then it would be a shame to waste your forever, wouldn't it?"
(…) He can nearly hear the ghost of her voice, a long-passed echo that still remains and catches along the walls at times. He hears her light timbre singing softly, not particularly to anybody or for any purpose other than entertaining herself. The whirring of the kettle joins her as she takes it from the stove and prepares yet another cup of her favorite tea.
He smiles, breathing in a scent that isn't there. The Doctor can practically feel the warmth of the kettle, the steaming mug and its aromatic herb combinations and the sound of Rose cussing when she somehow manages to burn herself. Again.
He crosses to his bedroom then, not particularly tired but feeling the weight of emotion finally beginning to plague him. It feels heavy on his shoulders, this burden, and he excuses himself from the room to be alone.
Amy and Rory won't notice anyway, he guesses. And although they are his friends, although he loves them and their silly domestic ways, he can no longer be around their romantic banter.
It all seems too similar, and the back of his mind is much too ready to remind him of this.
He comes across a room he hasn't seen in a while. The Doctor had never once said his new companions couldn't set foot in the room, and yet it remains seemingly untouched. It is as if it has been hidden, kept away from prying eyes for his sake. Now, he is ready to go back.
He is right under the assumption that the room has been untouched. Everything is the way she left it, and this fact almost makes it harder to look upon its slight chaos.
The Doctor runs a hand along the dresser, expecting to find a thick coat of dust from the untouched room. He finds, however, that the space is immaculate in the prospect that there is no lingering dust, nothing that would make it seem as though it hadn't been used for more than a day or two. He finds himself opening one of the drawers to find it still brimmed with colorful fabrics. A light piece of cotton is pulled from the pile and he rubs the cloth between his fingers before setting it back down, letting himself give it one last glance with heavy heart.
He moves to her bed, fingers finding the soft fabric of her duvet and staying there for quite some time. He is frozen, looking upon the time capsule room. He is remembering.
A sliver of light teases Rose's happily closed eyelids, and she groans as she opens them. She sits up immediately, however, surprised to see the Doctor standing in her doorway.
"Doctor?" She rubs the sleep from her eyes before stretching, allowing her sleep-mussed tresses to fall as they please.
"I was just, erm, checking on- weell I wouldn't say that but…Maybe I was-" He shakes his head. "I wanted to make sure you were alright, but I can see that you are with your nose and your lips and your eyes-ah, your beautiful eyes."
He hesitates at first, but she beckons him with an outstretched hand and finally the Doctor complies. He stands still at the side of her bed for a moment before taking her hand in his. Rose leads his own hand to the side of her cheek and he closes his eyes upon impact, relieved to feel the rivets and freckles he's grown so used to seeing. The vision from his horrible nightmare, he realizes, was just that; he'd never have to see his real Rose Tyler faceless again.
"Bad dream?" Her voice is soft and breaks a diminutive silence he hadn't even realized was there. The inquiry does not even cover what he has been through, but he nods in response anyway. Words, he finds, will not escape his lips or form rightfully in his brain. His hearts beat fast with the loss of fear and the addition of pure relief. Maybe, he thinks all too late, the rapid pulse has something to do with their proximity, the fact that his hand still lingers on her face, the pad of his thumb tracing lazy circles along her cheekbone.
He removes his hand from her temple upon this realization and runs it through his flyaway hair, mumbling incoherently until she prompts him to speak up.
"I should, erm, let you sleep and all that."
"You could stay here if you wanted…"
He is taken aback by her invitation and yet excited by the prospect. Not in that way, he argues. Something about the events of the day compels his need to be with her. He moves to the small armchair in her room and she watches, laughing, as he tries to fit his gangly legs comfortably. She finally looks over and gives him a small smile, patting the space next to her before voicing the suggestion.
"I don't take up that much room."
He wakes up two more times throughout the night, but can feel her steady breathing when he wakes. Each time he does, he checks to make sure that the nightmare isn't real. The Doctor glances down to see Rose with her head on his chest, legs tangled comfortably with his as she dozes peacefully. Her eyes are closed, her face intact, and so he joins her; finally content. The terror of the night isn't real, but the beautiful dream is.
The Doctor removes his fingers from the duvet and lets his body fall completely onto the bed. This movement is delicate, however. He does not want to rid the room of the fresh, flowery smell that hits his nose as the bed moves with his weight. It takes him a moment of staring, of finding the ceiling's patterns, never changing, rather intricate and a good distraction from all of this, of these feelings he can no longer hold in.
He rolls over, smothers his face in her pillow, and takes a deep breath. The scent is overpowering now, these memories so believable that he half expects her to walk through the door and shake her head at him. He pictures her with hands on hips, smiling in that same cheeky tongue-through-teeth manner he'd grown so accustomed to, had grown to love so dearly.
This room that he has frequented, a bed that he had slept in…When did it become such a hardship to enter this room full of memories? Especially, he laments, when the memories were so wonderful?
The Doctor moves his head to the side so that he can see her nightstand, and his eyes lock on a singular object. He hears her laughter, can feel it radiating through the simple Polaroid she's framed. He hadn't wanted to get the photo taken, but he'd done it for her. She wanted something 'just in case,' something to remember him by in case she had to leave.
All of the effort of the photograph and she hadn't gotten to take it with her.
"Doctor, don't be daft." He hears the echo of her teasing tone, sees her blonde hair as she turns her head and the way it follows her before settling down her back. He watches her grin move and then the back of her head as she walks away. He follows, not too keen on her idea. To Rose it's simple, really; a single photograph to remind herself of them, of their time together and how much she's enjoying it. Granted it's years before she's supposed to exist, but she does not find this daunting. To the Doctor, the photograph could be something used against him, finding its way to malicious hands.
Her hands, however, are soft and her brown eyes pleading. He tries to avoid her gaze, but his efforts are in vain. He nods and her face lights up as she looks for somebody to take their photo. The Doctor finds a candidate in an older man, who is pleased to let the pair have a Polaroid from his film.
"Anything for a happy young couple." He grins and the pair smiles back, neither accepting nor denying the man's claims although quite frankly they aren't quite sure of exactly what they are. Instead the Doctor snakes his arm around Rose's hip, pulling her flush to his own frame. Her hand finds his chest, where she leans her head. The older man begins to count down to the moment he'll take the picture, and at the last second Rose feels a tickle at her side. She laughs and shoots the Doctor a look before poking him back.
The result is a shining-eyed Rose and her Doctor, close together with gaping mouths, in the middle of an infectious round of raucous laughter and tickling. He'd never been so happy to see those eyes, he recalls.
He opens his eyes again, realizing just how lost he seems to have been in his daydream. Amy stands in the doorway of Rose's old room, glancing around at the unfamiliar yet girlish surroundings, wondering just what the Doctor hasn't told her.
"I didn't mind, you know." Rose says, taking hold of his hand with her free one. The other clasps the Polaroid. He turns his head to her, confused, and she takes this glance as a question. "That people think we're…together."
He blinks at her, and she pretends to ignore the fact that he's wiping at his eyes, trying to shake some sort of feeling away.
"I'm glad." He replies simply, not sure of what else to say regarding that matter. He thinks over the things he could say, the things he's been wanting to say to her since he uttered the word 'run,' but he bites his tongue. They walk in silence for a bit longer, but Rose will not let the subject go. For some reason, she is feeling quite brave.
He sits up on Rose's bed then; smoothing the wrinkles he's made on her duvet. Amy watches as he pauses, not quite ready to leave.
"Do you…want to talk about it?" Amy asks, still standing in the door. He looks at her, his eyes full of something she can't quite read. There's something, she surmises, irrevocably missing in his life. There's something hurting him.
"I just…sometimes, I feel like we are, y'know?"He knows. He feels it too, he wants to reply. He does not, though, because she's not yet done. "And it wouldn't be such a bad thing."
"I suppose it wouldn't." This earns him a smack upon the arm and he laughs, shaking his head to indicate that he's just kidding with her.
He shakes his head, not quite sure if he'll ever be ready to talk about it. Rose…Rose was something special. Something he doesn't think he'll ever be able to get over.
But maybe talking will help.
"Her name was Rose."
"I mean, I told you I'm staying forever-"
"-You won't have forever-" She glares at him with this reminder, but in a way that is laced with admiration and determination and…love. He imagines he must be dreaming, but she displays it so clearly, without any shame…He wishes he could be more like her, more like something she deserves.
"Did she travel with you?" Amy moves a bit farther into the room, looking upon the belongings of the mystery person. She stops to look at the photograph, smiling a bit at his old form, at the happiness so clearly written on both of their faces.
"Yes." He rises from her bed now, and his red-haired companion follows him as he makes his way from her room.
"Did you love her?"
"I'm just saying…Forever's a pretty long time, even if it's only my forever. That's a lot of time to waste." Somehow, he gets where she is going with this. He squeezes her hand and then moves his own so that it is wrapped around her waist, so that he is half-hugging her as they walk back to the TARDIS.
"Well then we shouldn't waste your forever, should we?"
He closes the door to Rose's room and now they're standing outside of it, he and Amy. The Doctor takes one last, lingering look at its white wood and gives her a forlorn smile. Maybe talking about things won't be so bad. Maybe it will help.
"More than anything."

Rapid Manufacturing Leader at Sahara Force India, Patrick Hawtin, plays a crucial part in the process that delivers upgrades to Formula One cars. With the help of 3D Systems' stereolithography machines, he helps by turning ideas into parts that are then tested in the team's wind tunnel.
In essence, what does your position entail?
My position has its challenges, as our department is responsible for scheduling and manufacturing hundreds of components for aerodynamic testing each week. We also manufacture components for the race car and various Research and Development projects - so there is usually a lot going on!
What we do is use 3D Systems' stereolithography machines, which effectively are very big and very accurate 3D printers, to create the parts for the wind tunnel models. This allows our aerodynamicists to test in real life what their calculations predicted.
What are the main challenges of your work?
The production deadlines are always tight, and in order to meet them the department operates around the clock, except on summer shutdown. We respond to demands from other areas of the team, so the day doesn't follow a structured schedule: I have to work to the job, and this means also regular evenings and weekends. They say you can never sleep in Formula One and sometimes that's exactly the case! The good thing is that we've got a good team with two other Rapid Prototyping Engineers on hand to help. With our fleet of rapid prototyping machines from 3D Systems everything gets taken care of quickly and easily.
How long have you been a member of the Sahara Force India Family?
I joined Force India in December 2007 and I have to say that time has flown by! This team is very much a family and whilst we are steadily growing, we are still relatively small compared to the teams around us. You get to know everybody by name which is nice and I think it enables us to be more dynamic - I hope that never changes.
Have you always been passionate about Formula One? How did you end up working in the sport?
Like so many of my colleagues, I grew up watching F1 with my Dad. I also have an uncle that works for one of our rivals, so it is fair to say the sport has always been in the family!
I started life as a Mechanical Engineering Apprentice and during that time I completed my HNC (Higher National Certificate) in Mechanical Engineering and specialized in Stress Analysis and Dynamics. Soon after that, I joined 3D Systems as a Field Service Engineer. I worked on additive manufacturing machines in every industry you can imagine and did a lot of travelling - UK, Europe and America.
Once my children started coming along, my wife told me I needed to knock the travelling on the head and it was at this point I was lucky enough to arrive here at Force India as an SLA Technician. Here has been home since!
What is your favorite Sahara Force India moment?
My favorite single moment has to be our team's Belgian Grand Prix pole position and subsequent podium finish in 2009. That weekend really got people's attention and put the team on the map. It was the start of the progress that we have been continuing ever since.
And the most challenging part of your work?
The most challenging part of my work is reacting to any last-minute request that may come when the department is already running at full capacity. Deadlines are very tight and every minute is essential, and sometimes this requires a review of the whole production schedule. By liaising with the aerodynamicists, designers and the model shop, we look at where we can fit additional projects and what elements can be rescheduled. Once this is done, we still have to wait for the components to be issued, program them, prepare the build files and then start the builds on the 3D Systems' machines.
And what about the Paddy away from work?
I am always busy at home, I have 3 children under 8-years-old and they find the best ways to keep you busy! I do make a little time for myself though as I do karate once a week. My wife has an addiction to holidays too; to give you an idea, we currently have Croatia, France (skiing), camping in Wales and New York all booked for before the end of 2014. I will get her some counseling!
President Obama took part in Wednesday's National Day of Making in more ways than one. As part of the Smithsonian X 3D program, the Smithsonian presented the first-ever 3D printed presidential portraits at the White House Maker Faire on June 18th. The portraits were created using two types of 3D scanners to give an accurate 3D model of our 44th President, Mr. Barack Obama. The display included a bust and life mask of the President, each printed using 3D Systems' SLS technology, great for high precision facial detail.
The scan data, bust, and life mask will be displayed in the National Portrait Gallery as part of the Smithsonian's collection of presidential representations. Other interesting scans and printable models, including a life mask of President Lincoln, can be found on the Smithsonian X 3D website.
How did you get involved with the National Day of Making?
We are excited to announce the EKOCYCLETM Cube 3D printer, a collaboration between 3DS and EKOCYCLE, a brand launched by will.i.am and The Coca-Cola Company.

Sometimes technological developments are born out of necessity—you have a need, you fill it. But other times technological developments trigger new needs and ideas altogether. 3D printing, for example, really got people thinking about highly customized, highly complex parts. Now, we're putting it on the fastest track yet to fulfill the promise of highly personalized, mass volume production with 3D printing.
3D Systems is proud to release some of the first details about our new high-speed, continuous fab-grade printer, an advance that sets a new bar for mass-customization product manufacturing. Whereas 3D printers typically utilize a moving printhead on a stationary bed, the high-speed, continuous fab-grade printer puts the print bed in motion on speedy track system under a set of stationary printheads. The result is a 3D printing assembly line: many products printing at once, all unique, all in full color and multi materials. Parts in varying phases of completion move in a continuous flow. When a part is done, it exits the track for post-processing and a new print bed takes its place. This is high-speed, custom, continuous, and fully automated manufacturing at its best.
This new standard in 3D printing is the engine behind the production of module shells for Google's Project Ara, the initiative to create a modular smartphone that reflects each person's unique style as well as choice of functional modules. With this level of speed and accuracy, people will be able to customize the look of their own phone to an extent never before possible. But the high-speed, continuous fab-grade printer's potential doesn't stop at cell phones. Take a look at this video to see how far 3D printing has come and how quickly it's going forward with this high-speed fab-grade platform for the future.
This is part of a series of videos from 3DS that demonstrate how its fab-grade printers can manufacture thousands of parts at speeds comparable to traditional injection molding operations. Look at how 3DS is already breaking speed limits today with fab-grade 3D printers that effectively match and exceed the productivity of traditional injection molding in the direct manufacture of functional parts. This breakthrough opens up the possibility of just-in-time, high volume, flexible additive manufacturing using the company's precision Stereolithography (SLA®) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) advanced manufacturing printers, enabling manufacturers to produce functional, precision parts in seconds, without the need for tooling or a lengthy supply chain.
By Leanne Gluck, Director of Social Impact
For as long as I have been in the manufacturing industry, we have been talking about the need for three things: to make manufacturing "cool again," to bridge the Skills Gap, and to strengthen the conversation between industry and education. We talk theoretically about our opportunities to support the next generation and innovation in the US, but the question on my mind has always been the concrete "How?"
Yesterday, 3D Systems and the SME Education Foundation created one answer to that question, announcing a collaborative initiative to enhance high school industrial arts and vocational education classes called M.Lab21. M.Lab 21 is part maker/part manufacturing, and will provide students with starter kits outfitted with the latest 3D design and printing technology, including the Touch haptic device, the Sense 3D scanner, advanced prosumer desktop printers like the CubePro, and a suite of Cubify design software. But it's more than just plugging a printer into a classroom. It's about providing an integrated ecosystem of 21st century tools, along with a curriculum and online platform in order to build communities of practice. (Above: US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker, middle, with 3DS Chief Technology Officer Chuck Hull, far right.)
The initiative was announced at the RAPID conference in Detroit, Michigan, during the morning keynote speech by US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker. She encouraged everyone to learn more about the initiative and find ways to get involved, and closed with the idea that: "We have a window of opportunity—right now—to prove to the world that the 21st century will be another 'Made-in-America' century." (Right: US Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker greets students at the M.Lab21 announcement.)
At 3DS we are committed to making M.Lab21 innovative and high impact, and we invite teachers, educators, nonprofits and companies passionate about education to join the M.Lab21 initiative and help drive innovation and technology learning today. If you are interested in learning more, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
It's the kind of thing you might need to see to believe, but 3DS is proud to share that our fab-grade 3D printers now match and exceed the speed and productivity of traditional injection molding for the direct manufacture of functional parts. This is big news for manufacturers who want to quickly produce working, precision parts without tooling or a stretched supply chain. Using our SLA and SLS advanced printers, record-setting print speeds can now be achieved, without sacrificing quality and while gaining complexity. This enhancement indicates a shift from low volume production to high volume direct manufacturing of complex parts, across use cases and industries.

It all goes to show that we need to expect the unexpected with 3D printing.
Being a teenager isn't easy, and it doesn't get any easier for teens with medical conditions like spinal scoliosis. Defined as a lateral or rotational curvature of the spine that initially appears in children during the prepubescent ages of 8-13, spinal scoliosis currently affects nearly 7 million Americans, 90% being female.
Many treatments involve cumbersome braces that are difficult to get on and uncomfortable to wear, yet sticking to a brace-wearing regimen is critical to treatment of the condition. For Meredith, an exuberant 13-year-old scoliosis patient, the experience of spinal correction was bulky and inelegant. Her father hoped she could find a better solution, and that's where the Bespoke team of 3D Systems stepped in with a custom solution that merged design with function.
Each Bespoke brace is fitted to each specific patient and 3D printed in porous patterns that breathe easily, reducing weight, cost and discomfort, and which allow patients to give an aesthetic to their healing. According to Meredith, her new brace "has really changed how I view myself, and how other kids see me. My good friends, who know that I have scoliosis, think my brace is cool. Everybody else doesn't even know that I'm wearing it because the design makes it invisible even under a shirt."
To read more about how good design is changing medical outcomes and perspectives, read the full story here.
The first major 3D printed piece for the Smithsonian Institution's 3D digitization program has been installed, and it's a whale of a print – literally. In collaboration with 3D Systems, the Smithsonian has created a prehistoric whale fossil with 3D scanning and printing. And at 20 feet in length, the prints are the largest existing of their kind. On display at the National Museum of Natural History along with a showcasing of different 3D printing and scanning technologies, the whale fossils have been finished and mounted to replicate the way they were discovered in the desert.
The Smithsonian has also established Smithsonian X 3D, a website for visitors around the world to follow the developments of the 3D revolution and learn about opportunities in 3D manufacturing, research and education. The Smithsonian has also made available free STL files of its collection for visitors to download and print, either at home or through the cloud. The complete collection includes approximately 20 artifacts, ranging in size from 12 cubic inches to 36 cubic inches.
The whale fossil is just the first of many 3D heritage projects the Smithsonian has undertaken in its multi-year partnership with 3DS. So enjoy this video, and remember to stay tuned for more!

It's a problem not many think of when they're blissfully enjoying a refreshing ice cream cone, but somehow, some way, the ice cream machine must be cleaned. Once a very labor-intensive process, it is also a very necessary one. This is where Idea Boxx and 3D printing came into play.
Idea Boxx focuses on conceptualizing, designing and manufacturing products that improve and positively impact different industries. As they claim on their website: "There's nothing Idea Boxx can't make better." That includes ice cream.
To improve the cleaning of soft-serve machines, Idea Boxx decided to use SLS 3D printing at Finnovation, a service provider offering industrial-strength 3D printing services in New York State, and they came up with the Hydra Rinse. The device offers one-touch automation, fast set up, and cleaning with no harsh chemicals.
During development, the engineers at Idea Boxx wanted to perform functional testing to validate their designs prior to tooling and manufacturing. Using 3D Systems' sPro 60 SLS printer, Finnovation created functioning assemblies for testing in less than 24 hours.
Read more about this project on the Finnovation blog:
3D Systems is a leading provider of 3D printing centric design-to-manufacturing solutions including 3D printers, print materials and cloud sourced on-demand custom parts for professionals and consumers alike in materials including plastics, metals, ceramics and edibles. The company also provides integrated 3D scan-based design, freeform modeling and inspection tools and an integrated 3D planning and printing digital thread for personalized surgery and patient specific medical devices.
