So, I just got home and checked my mailbox; Take a look at the cover of this weeks Economist:
"Print me a Stradivarius; The manufacturing technology that will change the world"
The cover reads: “Print me a Stradivarius; The manufacturing technology that will change the world” It features a 3D printed Stradivarius violin, made on an EOS system. Likely it was made of a laser sintered plastic, because the caption reads “(and it plays beautifully).” If it was made on one of EOS’s metal sintering systems, I don’t think it would play as well.
You can check out the two 3D printing articles that appear in the print version here online:
Things sure do seem to be moving at an exponential rate in the 3D printing world these days… especially if such a world-class and well respected publication like The Economist is taking notice.
