 From a BBC news article, A 3D printer-created lower jaw has been fitted to an 83-year-old woman's face in what doctors say is the first operation of its kind.The implant was made out of titanium powder - heated and fused together by a laser, one layer at a time. Technicians say the operation's success paves the way for the use of more 3D-printed patient-specific parts.

A quick video of our first pour of aluminum at CT Hackerspace.  

 Well, it's about time, I've been working on designing this stepper motor driver pcb board based on the Step Genie IC, I'm finally done. Above is the layout. The circuit board blanks are ordered and on their way. Soon we'll be cutting them out using our CNC engraver and further testing the circuit (the breadboarded version seems to work). Check back for updates!

I love this video.  (Though the saw part scared me)  It is funny and offbeat and totally cool! 

Casting Urethane and Silicone.    Make a small silicone mold and cast in urethane.  Bring a small object to duplicate, quarter size is good for this workshop.  Seet the capabilities and limitations.

Disassembly Required - Take something apart to see how it works, bring a broken, old, new, obsolete electronic or mechanical thing to take apart.  Tools and things to take apart will be available, but bring your own is ok.
