Not sure about this, a lot of hand waving but not much info. Disappointing, as this reporter
usually gives more facts.

I've put it here as I didn't know 3D printing of optics was being attempted.

“Quantum dots are semi-conducting nanoparticles, for my application the unique part is that I can change the wavelength it is sensitive to by changing the size of the nanoparticle.”

I'd never heard of them.

Hushang Tengda has 3D printed a 400 square meter luxury villa, on site, in just 45 days.

Construction is a huge deal in the 3D printing world right now and the likes of WinSun have made an impact with the first 3D printed office in Dubai. It also printed a five-storey apartment building and 10 3D printed houses in just 24 hours back in China. This villa is a still a breakthrough though, because it was built on site.

Beehex has created a stunning 3D printer that has brought the Star Trek replicator fantasy one step closer to reality. The pneumatic prototype printer creates a pizza in any shape in under four minutes, while its kiosks can print and bake a pizza in just 60 seconds.

This website has gone a bit flaky since it got re-vamped, so unless its space or rocket related I won't feature stuff.

I like this though...

I love clockwork mechanisms.

Yes, its nicely done. Might have a go at that, once I've finished all my other half-built projects....

Anything with graphene deserves a mention:

http://3dprintingindustry.com/news/single-layer-graphene-oxide-goes-sale-90446/

ORG-GO is not the ultimate Graphene-based material that could change the world, but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. It should deal with one of the major obstacles facing the commercial introduction of Graphene into the wider world. That is the dispersion of the compound in resins and solvents.

What about a 3D printed...house?

[Notebook]

Like the house, but I like the idea of 3D printing generally!
I did the unthinkable, and bought something I haven't a use for...yet. Stay tuned for further information.

It was an Olympics-free zone, sorry about that.

Don't worry about it. The results will mostly be fabricated anyway

Vector Space Systems, a micro satellite space launch company comprised of new-space industry veterans from SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, McDonnell Douglas and Sea Launch, recently had a successful launch of their P-20 rocket, a sub-scale test vehicle for the Vector 1, in advance of orbital launches in 2018.

Usually an omen for restaurant closures and pending health violations, e. coli has gotten a bad reputation as an infectious bacteria that causes food poisoning symptoms in so many unfortunate victims. Recently however, a group of undergraduates at the UK’s Newcastle University tweaked the bacteria and reimagined it as an innovative tool to create a bacteria-based lightbulb.

Shortly after successfully 3D printing the engine and all primary components, Rocket Lab has announced the completion of the launch platform for its Electron rocket. Housed at a private orbital launch site on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand, the completed platform is one of the final steps in launching process that is set to take New Zealand into space. Testing for the platform will take place in the coming months.

Why is this groundbreaking?
The Filamet essentially turns any low cost printer into a metal printer.
As a result of the high percentage you can either process prints with heat to remove the 10% plastic, or you can go straight from the printer to buffing to create a print that’s nearly indiscernible from pure metal.
The heavyweight industrial Filamet has also proven strong enough to block certain types of radiation. That means that companies and individuals can now print tailored shields to protect against potentially harmful rays.
