Captain Picard's Blog

I just found Captain Picard's blog! In it he and several other Star Trek universe characters post journal entries...fairly amusing. I suggest starting with the following post and browsing to the main site if you're interested:

Impossible Sculptures

This is one metal sculpture from two different angles...

So you may have heard of 3D printing in plastic, but have you ever heard of 3D printing in metal? Bathsheba Grossman designs 3D models that would be impossible to create using traditional metal casting techniques and has them printed in a combination stainless steel and bronze. Pretty cool.

Here's the sculpture page. Make sure to check out the Math Models as well.

Here's the link to a video where she describes the process and shows off a few models.
