Audi extends the use of 3D printers in production: Individually designed and locally printed, auxiliary tools from the 3D printer support the employees in the production lines. In the future, a separate department will take over implementation at the Neckarsulm site.
Terrible tattoos may become a thing of the past thanks to a futuristic machine designed to 3d print tattoos under human skin. A French group of industrial designers calling themselves Appropriate Audiences created the world's first tattoo printing robot, dubbed Tatoue, to expand the artistic limits of tattooing by using a 3D-printer to create tattoos. All the user has to do is to upload their design and slide their hand in the machine. Would you ever consider getting inked up by a robot?
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.

Bolivian teen Leonardo Viscarra, who grew up without his left hand, has designed and built his own prosthesis using a 3D printer at his school and design help from Thingiverse. The 14-year-old was diagnosed with amniotic band syndrome, a birth defect which left him without his left hand. His prosthesis is made thermoplastic works with nylon threads that collect movements from his wrist and transmits them to the prosthetic fingers. Amazingly, the prosthetic cost Leonardo only about $100.
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.
