Ziggy the three legged border collie gets chance at active and painfree life thanks to surgery at The University of Queensland
This is Soekchen a bumbling secretary bird that got a new lease on life after being fitted with a prosthetic leg. This feathered friend suffered a trauma to her leg and vets had to remove the limb. However, she's bouncing around again in the Walsrode Bird Park thanks to her new artificial limb. Soekchen is clearly overjoyed with being able to walk again and grateful to her carers for getting her the help she needed. The four-year-old bird got the new prosthetic leg which was built with the same 3D-technologies as prosthetics for children. In order to create anything with a 3D printer, you first have to make a 3D design using special software. The design is then used by the printer as instructions to form the shape you want. 3D printers place small bits of plastic down as layers, starting from the bottom of the design and slowly adding more layers on top until its ready. And what could have been another sad story turned into the happy ending as Soeckchen immediately became a superstar of the park, attracting more and more visitors. It's no wonder - Soekchen's strange walk seems to have the love of life built into it.
Professor Anil Jain from Michigan State University, who at the end of July with a group of his students successfully unlocked a phone using 3D printed fingerprints, explained the breakthrough technique behind the invention to the press at his laboratory on Tuesday.
Welcome to Food Ink, a restaurant that combines dining with technology where all the food, all the utensils, and even all the furniture is produced by 3D printers. Food Ink opened for a special 3 day event in east London and had a limited amount of tickets available for the world premiere. An international team of top chefs, led by Joel Castanye and Mateu Blanch, were joined by artists and technologists as they prepared a 3D printed 9 course meal for the guests before their eyes.
ŠKODA AUTO uses 3D printing, for example, in prototype production in its Pilot Hall. Plastic 3D printing is used, in particular, in the maintenance departments in vehicle production. The carmaker also employs the technology in Central Technical Service.
