For all its useful and world changing applications there is one thing that often gets lost in the buzz about 3D printing. Sometimes it can just be about having a lot of fun. Whether you are 3D printing My Little Pony statues, Yoda heads, dragon-shaped cup holders, or key-shaped key chains, it can be a lot of fun to waste time on designing silly things and then watching them become real objects. After all, while additive manufacturing was developed with industrial applications in mind, it wasn’t until the maker movement turned it into a toy for grown-ups that things started to get interesting.

In the midst of e-waste traffickers, Africans are endeavouring to find ways to breathe new life into these discarded materials.
8A Nathan's curator insight,
February 27, 2015 2:34 AM
In dumps all over Africa, Africans are taking in what seems like useless E-junk and are finding ways to recycle it. From the large disposal of old technology as Africa moves forward, areas are filled with large amounts of what is junk to some could be worth a lot more after processing takes place. Many unorganized workers go there everyday at risk of their own health for the livelihood of their families. In some places the E-waste is taken to more organized facilitates where decent technology can be sold at stores for large amounts of money, but in other areas it is collected to survive. This article helped me understand how Africa is moving forward with technology, and that Africans are resourceful. The article stated that the E-Junk was hidden very well by the government, so it was pretty awesome when poor African families found all this stuff and are being resourceful and making money from it. This article made me sad that people have to do this to gain wealth but it also showed me how productive Africans can be.

Nervous System has created the first dress with Kinematics, their unique 4D printing system that creates complex, foldable forms composed of articulated modules. The Museum of Modern Art has acquired the dress along with the software that created it for their permanent collection. Composed of thousands of interlocking components, the dress was 3D printed as a single folded piece at the Shapeways factory in New York City and required no assembly. This was made possible by Nervous Systems' Kinematics system which combines design generation, customization, and simulation to enable the production of large flexible structures by 3D printing.

The days of lengthy, inefficient, and costly construction projects could be coming to an end. Private inventor Ma Yihe designed a 3D printer that built ten houses in a single day! The china based company building and research center are all constructed of 3D printed walls. The building walls are energy efficient and made of recycled construction waste and mortar. The roofs still have to be applied by hand because the printers aren’t yet versatile enough to manage the complete task.
