We love reading stories about how 3D printing is impacting people around the world. Today we want to share with you a few of our favorites from the past month. From how 3D printing is changing an industry to (literally) building bridges, this is what caught our attention recently.<\/p>\n

7 Ways 3D Printing is Already Disrupting Global Manufacturing<\/a>\u00a0– Forbes<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this article, Rick Smith<\/a>\u00a0dives into how 3D printing is changing the way we think about manufacturing. We’ve talked about how we want to redefine the way products are made<\/a>\u00a0and usher in a world where anybody can get the products they want, and changing manufacturing is a huge part of that. As Rick says,\u00a0“…now, industrial 3D printing has reached its tipping point, and is about to go mainstream in a way that will revolutionize the economy.”<\/p>\n

The Blade is a 3D Printed Supercar\u00a0<\/a>– Engadget<\/strong><\/p>\n

Car lovers, this one is for you! Andrew Tarantola<\/a>\u00a0wrote about “Blade,” the first ever additively manufactured car. Developed by Divergent Microfactories<\/a> in San Francisco, this car weighs about 1,400 pounds and runs on both gas and CNG (compressed natural gas).<\/p>\n

Scientists Built a 3D Printer That Can Print Objects Smaller Than Red Blood Cells.<\/a>\u00a0– Digital Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n

And we think Miniatures are small! In this piece, Lulu Chang<\/a>\u00a0writes about a new 3D printer that can print microscopic objects. According to the material science and engineering professor leading the project, Park Jang-ung, they “believe the technology has set a new paradigm for research using 3D printing and wearable devices.”<\/p>\n

Gravity-defying 3D Printer to Print Bridge Over Water in Amsterdam<\/a>\u00a0– CNET<\/strong><\/p>\n

As if 3D printed homes weren’t cool enough, Amsterdam will now boast a 3D printed bridge. Michelle Star\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0details this cool new robot that can “draw” in the air and will print the bridge in steel. The coolest part? The robot will print its own supports as it goes so that it can operate independently.<\/p>\n

World’s First 3D Printed Office to Go Up Layer by Layer in Dubai<\/a>\u00a0– Gizmag<\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay – this is story technically came out in July but it’s too fun to wait another month to talk about! Darren Quick writes about Dubai’s plans to build a 3D printing building. It will be printed in layers that will then be assembled. The building will serve as the office for staff members of the “Museum of the Future” (so fitting, right?) and is the museum’s first major initiative.<\/p>\n
