<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I still remember the conference, and cctually those of you I listened to or talked to. I have never been before to a conference so rich in creative and critical ideas.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don`t know how many of you attended our secession. Johan Söderberg presented an intriguing paper on 3D printing. Well, Johan is always intriguing. When, I read his book, Haching Capitalism, I was so impressed that I searched for him in the internet, found his phone, called him and thanked him for the wonderful book he had written. If you have not read it, please do it. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway, someone asked a question Johan about the range of material that can be used in 3D printing. I was checking today Shapways' Website, a commercial 3D printing company.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They use the following range of material, White-Strong, Aluminium, Acrylic-based photopolymer, plastic, silver, steel, sand, ceramic and glass. I think big corporations that have more advanced 3D printers use even a wider range of material. </DIV>
<DIV>The open source 3D printing which uses a far less advanced technolgy, to my knowledge so far can only use plastics.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>all the best</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
