The New MakerBot Replicator Might Just Change Your World | Wired Design

Revoilà donc Chris Anderson. ►http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/01/ff_newrevolution

A garage renaissance is spilling over into such phenomena as the booming Maker Faires and local “hackerspaces.” Peer production, open source, crowdsourcing, user-generated content — all these digital trends have begun to play out in the world of atoms, too. The Web was just the proof of concept. Now the revolution hits the real world.

In short, atoms are the new bits.

Pentagon’s Plans For 3-D Printers
►http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2012/10/printers

The older printers — and the kind most frequently used by hobbyists — use heat to harden layers of printed liquid plastic into a complete model. But that also means that a finished object can appear a little melted and smudgy. The SLA machines are much better, print at much higher resolutions and use UV light instead of heat. The machines can also use a wider variety of materials and print at higher speeds. The problem is that these machines and their ultra-thin light-sensitive plastic are prohibitively expensive for most consumers — for now.

Though I’ve disagreed pretty vociferously with some of the things he’s had to say in the past, his work has provoked more nods from me than head-shakes, and when I’ve disagreed with him, it’s been for chewy, substantive reasons that were worth exploring.

Je viens d’écouter l’entretien avec Anderson ; tu l’as fait réfléchir sur les paradoxes de la #robotisation, la #silicon_army, les #drones, les #brevets, les imprimantes 3D, l’hypocrisie de l’entrepreneur qui fait du #copyright et du #libre (dualité qu’il résout en parlant d’efficacité et non d’éthique), #google, #apple.
