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.
The world's first ever 3D-printed excavator was unveiled at the 2017 CONEXPO-CON/AGG show, an international construction trade show, at Las Vegas Convention Center, Tuesday. Made with a range of additive printing processes, the machine is called the Additive Manufacturing Excavator, or AME. Several institutions, including the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, the National Fluid Power Association, the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power, The OAK Ridge National Laboratory and the National Science Foundation, built the AME. Two research teams of graduate engineering students from Georgia Tech and the University of Minnesota also designed several sections of the excavator, including the cab. The most important piece of information about the AME is that it actually works, and works well. Not only is the AME set to drastically reduce costs for excavators in general, the designers and builders of the AME envision great things for its future. It could be used in helping to rebuild lower income communities and may even play a role in developing land on Mars for human habitation.

Honda opened its new $124 million state-of-the-art wind tunnel facility, ushering in a new era of development testing capabilities for Honda and Acura products, as well as the company’s race vehicles. The new Honda Automotive Laboratories of Ohio (HALO) facility, located at the independent Transportation Research Center Inc. (TRC) in Central Ohio, is the world’s most advanced wind tunnel, with three separate state-of-the art testing functions — aerodynamics, aeroacoustics, and racing — in one location.Honda created the multifunctional HALO facility to reinforce its commitment to developing fuel-efficient and fun-to-drive vehicles. One of the most advanced of its kind anywhere, the wind tunnel uses a unique interchangeable modular ground plane system capable of aerodynamic vehicle testing of production vehicles and race machines.With a five-belt rolling road system designed for production vehicle development and a second single wide-belt system for testing both high-performance sports cars and purpose-built race vehicles, the tunnel can generate wind speeds of more than 190 miles per hour.
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.
