Staples and 3D printing do go back some distance – first of all, they sold select 3D printers in their stores, before they decided to embrace the future of 3D printing even further by selling print-by-mail services in Europe. Fast forward to today, and Staples happens to put on offer a chance for US customers to print out objects on-demand as well as on-site thanks to an in-store 3D printing service, now how about that? The entire 3D printing service’s launch event happened to be centered upon the fun side of 3D printing, where it managed to deal with the likes of action figures as well as personalized Starfleet officers, but all fun and play are not what Staples are looking forward to, since they also hope that this 3D printing service will be able to woo other small businesses owners, too.

When it comes to 3D printing, it does seem as though the possibilities might be endless, considering how technology in this segment has moved so fast, so much so that we might be making some headway into printing out human organs that could be used to replace failing organs down the road, hence doing away with the long waiting list for organ donors. Right now, scientists are looking at the possibility of using 3D printer in order to build a human heart – that will work, of course.
This ambitious project intends to deliver a new heart for a patient using their own cells prior to the transplant operation, but it does seem that it might take decades in order to achieve this particular situation. However, the technology required to do so might already be available in the here and now, as researchers have created splints, valves and even a human ear using 3D printers in the past.
The University of Louisville research team has printed out human heart valves and small veins with cells so far, where they hope to continue from here and construct some other parts using different methods. The finished article would then be known as the “bioficial heart”, which would be a miraculous blend of natural and artificial. Good luck guys, the world owes you big time if you managed to achieve this feat.

When we talk about 3D printers, most of the time we would think of them to be something that is really, really expensive. You know, the kind that costs a whole bomb, and just when you thought that inkjet printing in color is expensive, raw 3D printing materials cost a whole lot more, not to mention the fact that you would need to have a proper design in place before you get to realize your ideas. The Micro is a consumer class 3D printer that has just launched on Kickstarter, where it hopes to raise enough cash to make it a reality so that the masses will be able to enjoy 3D printing right in the comfort of their own homes.
The early bird special would allow you to pick up The Micro for $199 a pop, where it is touted to be the “first truly consumer 3D printer; compact and accessible, seamlessly designed, and incredibly intuitive.” In fact, it is so easy to use that you can have it function right out of the box, now how about that? This is ideal for everyday users and experts, since it has been specially designed for anyone and everyone to bring their ideas to life. It does not matter if you are running a business, in the education line, learning, or simply having fun, The Micro is more than capable of creating items such as toys, jewellery, and even real engineering prototypes.
To begin your 3D printing adventure, all that you need to do is to plug in the printer, download or create models, press print, and presto! Your eyes will see your very own imaginative creations become a reality right before your very eyes. As The Micro does use open source software for experienced users, there is also an alternative option to make use of the M3D software that delivers a seamless, modern, user-friendly experience. It has the ability to print objects as tall as 4.6 inches or 116 mm.
