Ways 3 D Printing Machines Are Going To Transform Our World

By Eric Slagle


If you think back over the past few years you will probably not find anything that has created such a buzz like 3D printers. These devices are like something out of a science fiction movie. They are able to take raw materials and literally print out three-dimensional objects. They have the potential to greatly change everyday living.

Medical advances have been made using these machines. Human body parts can now be fabricated from metal, plastic or actual tissues. This can have a great impact on health care and help a lot of individuals. Not only are bones and cartilage being created with these machines, it is also possible to print organs.

This technology is also very exciting for those in the exploration of space. It means that with the right materials astronauts will be able to create tools and replacement parts on demand. If something breaks down it would be a lot quicker and safer to print the replacement piece so the repair can be made that it would be to wait for help to arrive. This technology could also use robots to create a ready to use habitat for humans on other planets.

The printer uses a computer-aided design as a pattern and outputs the raw material as indicated. It may take thousands and thousands of lines depending upon the size of the object being created. Units intended for home use are not very big and are approximately the size of an inkjet printer. At $1200-$1500 these units are a bit pricier than your average inkjet.

This is an evolving technology that will definitely impact society in a huge way. The fields of medicine and science will try and push the boundaries of what can be accomplished and we will all reap the benefits. Homeowners will not be left out as they too will look for new ways to use their home printers. They can be both practical and four hobbyists as well.

This type of printing is certainly in its infancy. Right now the things we do seem crude when weighed against the potential advancements it can bring. Imagine being able to purchase and get a pattern for things like games, jewelry and other items.

One of the most exciting things about 3D printers is that they will be creating new markets and jobs. There will be new opportunities for education and training to keep up with the evolution of the technology. It may soon be commonplace in medicine, science, schools and in our homes.

Movie Review Dhoom 3 an out n out Aamir fare

Dhoom 3: an out n out Aamir fare
A review by Ritesh Garg.

Wasnt it expected to be that way only? Even the lone Aamir basher staying in his mansion somewhere near the CCD outlet on the Band Stand (in Bandra) wouldnt put his money on the others in this latest episode of the immensely milkable Yashraj franchise. When the master perfectionist of the industry is in his full form (when was he last not in any way in your memory?) you just do not care about what role is being essayed by whom. They simply get redundant in the overall scheme of things and even their limited on-screen presence becomes annoying. Thats not very surprising when these others indeed are the clueless summer interns who get to break into some specialized course on management (or board) seats and every time they end up turning themselves into "poker faced" bummers who just got lucky in a "lottery of sperms". But when the attention span of the audience doesnt spare even the nations (arguably the prettiest) heartthrob a thought the responsibility (of delivering) gets all the more manifold on the diminutive frame of the erstwhile (and original) chocolate hero. How does he more than make up for all the mediocrity around? Simply, by doubling the booster dose! And boy-o-boy! Oh boy! Does he make you go ga-ga with both of his avatars? He stands up (nothing unusual here) and delivers a knock out punch.

Quite matter-of-factly, Dhoom 3 is just Aamir and all of him in his full glory. Rest all is just noise. Noise of the thundering engines of those BMW superbikes which turn themselves into ichchadhaari boats and what not merely on the push of a button. Noise of the rest of the ensemble cast which is desperately (and quite uselessly) trying to prove worth of the numbers written on its paycheck in a screenplay which finds itself numbed with an utter lack of a storyline.

You wont be blamed for mistaking D3s action director to be its director as two third of the 173 minute running time is picturized on the Chicago streets at a pulsating pace. Credit goes to the cinematographer for doing a good job here in what could very easily have been a monotonous repetetion of the same high voltage chase affairs. One sixth of the movies length is spent on the delectable song & dance sequences which doesnt thankfully interrupt flow of the desi Fast n furious.

As for the performances, lesser said the better about the genetically precocious Uday Chopra but by playing second fiddle to a strong mainstream hero Abhishek Bachchan is digging up his careers grave with each such sub-par portrayals. If Kat keeps playing such dumb bimbo type roles very soon age is not going to be on her right side as other fresher faces wouldnt have to burn any midnight oil in their bid to latch on to such low hanging apples.

Aamir keeps surprising us with each of his screen adaptations but honestly even as a die hard fan of him I am a tad disappointed as to why did he agree to lend his credence to this otherwise tasteless dish! I am sure with the ensuing Christmas break this also would cross 300 Cr mark in this calendar year itself but knowing him as a thoughtful exhibitioner I am sure he wont rate this one as his most proud selection.

Just for one of my true favourites absolutely unadulterated performance D3 gets a seven on REndex. I know its (favourably) biased but then life hasnt been so very impartial with yours truly.
