Here are three paragraphs. If you can't get it all, let me know, since I have a password. 3D printing: The printed world http://www.economist.com/node/18114221 [Editorial added. Thanks to Jeff for this.] Three-dimensional printing from digital designs will transform manufacturing and allow more people to start making things Feb 10th 2011 FILTON, just outside Bristol, is where Britain's fleet of Concorde supersonic airliners was built. In a building near a wind tunnel on the same sprawling site, something even more remarkable is being created. Little by little a machine is "printing" a complex titanium landing-gear bracket, about the size of a shoe, which normally would have to be laboriously hewn from a solid block of metal. Brackets are only the beginning. The researchers at Filton have a much bigger ambition: to print the entire wing of an airliner. Far-fetched as this may seem, many other people are using three-dimensional printing technology to create similarly remarkable things. These include medical implants, jewellery, football boots designed for individual feet, lampshades, racing-car parts, solid-state batteries and customised mobile phones. Some are even making mechanical devices. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Peter Schmitt, a PhD student, has been printing something that resembles the workings of a grandfather clock. It took him a few attempts to get right, but eventually he removed the plastic clock from a 3D printer, hung it on the wall and pulled down the counterweight. It started ticking. Engineers and designers have been using 3D printers for more than a decade, but mostly to make prototypes quickly and cheaply before they embark on the expensive business of tooling up a factory to produce the real thing. As 3D printers have become more capable and able to work with a broader range of materials, including production-grade plastics and metals, the machines are increasingly being used to make final products too. More than 20% of the output of 3D printers is now final products rather than prototypes, according to Terry Wohlers, who runs a research firm specialising in the field. He predicts that this will rise to 50% by 2020. Related topics * Massachusetts Institute of Technology Using 3D printers as production tools has become known in industry as "additive" manufacturing (as opposed to the old, "subtractive" business of cutting, drilling and bashing metal). The additive process requires less raw material and, because software drives 3D printers, each item can be made differently without costly retooling. The printers can also produce ready-made objects that require less assembly and things that traditional methods would struggle with--such as the glove pictured above, made by Within Technologies, a London company. It can be printed in nylon, stainless steel or titanium. Click to manufacture The printing of parts and products has the potential to transform manufacturing because it lowers the costs and risks. No longer does a producer have to make thousands, or hundreds of thousands, of items to recover his fixed costs. In a world where economies of scale do not matter any more, mass-manufacturing identical items may not be necessary or appropriate, especially as 3D printing allows for a great deal of customisation. Indeed, in the future some see consumers downloading products as they do digital music and printing them out at home, or at a local 3D production centre, having tweaked the designs to their own tastes. That is probably a faraway dream. Nevertheless, a new industrial revolution may be on the way. Printing in 3D may seem bizarre. In fact it is similar to clicking on the print button on a computer screen and sending a digital file, say a letter, to an inkjet printer. The difference is that the "ink" in a 3D printer is a material which is deposited in successive, thin layers until a solid object emerges. The layers are defined by software that takes a series of digital slices through a computer-aided design. Descriptions of the slices are then sent to the 3D printer to construct the respective layers. They are then put together in a number of ways. Powder can be spread onto a tray and then solidified in the required pattern with a squirt of a liquid binder or by sintering it with a laser or an electron beam. Some machines deposit filaments of molten plastic. However it is achieved, after each layer is complete the build tray is lowered by a fraction of a millimetre and the next layer is added. And when you're happy, click print The researchers at Filton began using 3D printers to produce prototype parts for wind-tunnel testing. The group is part of EADS Innovation Works, the research arm of EADS, a European defence and aerospace group best known for building Airbuses. Prototype parts tend to be very expensive to make as one-offs by conventional means. Because their 3D printers could do the job more efficiently, the researchers' thoughts turned to manufacturing components directly. Aircraft-makers have already replaced a lot of the metal in the structure of planes with lightweight carbon-fibre composites. But even a small airliner still contains several tonnes of costly aerospace-grade titanium. These parts have usually been machined from solid billets, which can result in 90% of the material being cut away. This swarf is no longer of any use for making aircraft. To make the same part with additive manufacturing, EADS starts with a titanium powder. The firm's 3D printers spread a layer about 20-30 microns (0.02-0.03mm) thick onto a tray where it is fused by lasers or an electron beam. Any surplus powder can be reused. Some objects may need a little machining to finish, but they still require only 10% of the raw material that would otherwise be needed. Moreover, the process uses less energy than a conventional factory. It is sometimes faster, too. There are other important benefits. Most metal and plastic parts are designed to be manufactured, which means they can be clunky and contain material surplus to the part's function but necessary for making it. This is not true of 3D printing. "You only put material where you need to have material," says Andy Hawkins, lead engineer on the EADS project. The parts his team is making are more svelte, even elegant. This is because without manufacturing constraints they can be better optimised for their purpose. Compared with a machined part, the printed one is some 60% lighter but still as sturdy. Form follows function Lightness is critical in making aircraft. A reduction of 1kg in the weight of an airliner will save around $3,000-worth of fuel a year and by the same token cut carbon-dioxide emissions. Additive manufacturing could thus help build greener aircraft--especially if all the 1,000 or so titanium parts in an airliner can be printed. Although the size of printable parts is limited for now by the size of 3D printers, the EADS group believes that bigger systems are possible, including one that could fit on the 35-metre-long gantry used to build composite airliner wings. This would allow titanium components to be printed directly onto the structure of the wing. Many believe that the enhanced performance of additively manufactured items will be the most important factor in driving the technology forward. It certainly is for MIT's Mr Schmitt, whose interest lies in "original machines". These are devices not constructed from a collection of prefabricated parts, but created in a form that flows from the intention of the design. If that sounds a bit arty, it is: Mr Schmitt is a former art student from Germany who used to cadge time on factory lathes and milling machines to make mechanised sculptures. He is now working on novel servo mechanisms, the basic building blocks for robots. Custom-made servos cost many times the price of off-the-shelf ones. Mr Schmitt says it should be possible for a robot builder to specify what a servo needs to do, rather than how it needs to be made, and send that information to a 3D printer, and for the machine's software to know how to produce it at a low cost. "This makes manufacturing more accessible," says Mr Schmitt. The idea of the 3D printer determining the form of the items it produces intrigues Neri Oxman, an architect and designer who heads a research group examining new ways to make things at MIT's Media Lab. She is building a printer to explore how new designs could be produced. Dr Oxman believes the design and construction of objects could be transformed using principles inspired by nature, resulting in shapes that are impossible to build without additive manufacturing. She has made items from sculpture to body armour and is even looking at buildings, erected with computer-guided nozzles that deposit successive layers of concrete. Some 3D systems allow the properties and internal structure of the material being printed to be varied. This year, for instance, Within Technologies expects to begin offering titanium medical implants with features that resemble bone. The company's femur implant is dense where stiffness and strength is required, but it also has strong lattice structures which would encourage the growth of bone onto the implant. Such implants are more likely to stay put than conventional ones. Working at such a fine level of internal detail allows the stiffness and flexibility of an object to be determined at any point, says Siavash Mahdavi, the chief executive of Within Technologies. Dr Mahdavi is working on other lattice structures, including aerodynamic body parts for racing cars and special insoles for a firm that hopes to make the world's most comfortable stiletto-heeled shoes. Digital Forming, a related company (where Dr Mahdavi is chief technology officer), uses 3D design software to help consumers customise mass-produced products. For example, it is offering a service to mobile-phone companies in which subscribers can go online to change the shape, colour and other features of the case of their new phone. The software keeps the user within the bounds of the achievable. Once the design is submitted the casing is printed. Lisa Harouni, the company's managing director, says the process could be applied to almost any consumer product, from jewellery to furniture. "I don't have any doubt that this technology will change the way we manufacture things," she says. Other services allow individuals to upload their own designs and have them printed. Shapeways, a New York-based firm spun out of Philips, a Dutch electronics company, last year, offers personalised 3D production, or "mass customisation", as Peter Weijmarshausen, its chief executive, describes it. Shapeways prints more than 10,000 unique products every month from materials that range from stainless steel to glass, plastics and sandstone. Customers include individuals and shopkeepers, many ordering jewellery, gifts and gadgets to sell in their stores. EOS, a German supplier of laser-sintering 3D printers, says they are already being used to make plastic and metal production parts by carmakers, aerospace firms and consumer-products companies. And by dentists: up to 450 dental crowns, each tailored for an individual patient, can be manufactured in one go in a day by a single machine, says EOS. Some craft producers of crowns would do well to manage a dozen a day. As an engineering exercise, EOS also printed the parts for a violin using a high-performance industrial polymer, had it assembled by a professional violin-maker and played by a concert violinist. Both EOS and Stratasys, a company based in Minneapolis which makes 3D printers that employ plastic-deposition technology, use their own machines to print parts that are, in turn, used to build more printers. Stratasys is even trying to print a car, or at least the body of one, for Kor Ecologic, a company in Winnipeg, whose boss, Jim Kor, is developing an electric-hybrid vehicle called Urbee. Jim Kor's printed the model. Next, the car Making low-volume, high-value and customised components is all very well, but could additive manufacturing really compete with mass-production techniques that have been honed for over a century? Established techniques are unlikely to be swept away, but it is already clear that the factories of the future will have 3D printers working alongside milling machines, presses, foundries and plastic injection-moulding equipment, and taking on an increasing amount of the work done by those machines. Morris Technologies, based in Cincinnati, was one of the first companies to invest heavily in additive manufacturing for the engineering and production services it offers to companies. Its first intention was to make prototypes quickly, but by 2007 the company says it realised "a new industry was being born" and so it set up another firm, Rapid Quality Manufacturing, to concentrate on the additive manufacturing of higher volumes of production parts. It says many small and medium-sized components can be turned from computer designs into production-quality metal parts in hours or days, against days or weeks using traditional processes. And the printers can build unattended, 24 hours a day. Neil Hopkinson has no doubts that 3D printing will compete with mass manufacturing in many areas. His team at Loughborough University has invented a high-speed sintering system. It uses inkjet print-heads to deposit infra-red-absorbing ink on layers of polymer powder which are fused into solid shapes with infra-red heating. Among other projects, the group is examining the potential for making plastic buckles for Burton Snowboards, a leading American producer of winter-sports equipment. Such items are typically produced by plastic injection-moulding. Dr Hopkinson says his process can make them for ten pence (16 cents) each, which is highly competitive with injection-moulding. Moreover, the designs could easily be changed without Burton incurring high retooling costs. Predicting how quickly additive manufacturing will be taken up by industry is difficult, adds Dr Hopkinson. That is not necessarily because of the conservative nature of manufacturers, but rather because some processes have already moved surprisingly fast. Only a few years ago making decorative lampshades with 3D printers seemed to be a highly unlikely business, but it has become an industry with many competing firms and sales volumes in the thousands. Dr Hopkinson thinks Loughborough's process is already competitive with injection-moulding at production runs of around 1,000 items. With further development he expects that within five years it would be competitive in runs of tens if not hundreds of thousands. Once 3D printing machines are able to crank out products in such numbers, then more manufacturers will look to adopt the technology. Will Sillar of Legerwood, a British firm of consultants, expects to see the emergence of what he calls the "digital production plant": firms will no longer need so much capital tied up in tooling costs, work-in-progress and raw materials, he says. Moreover, the time to take a digital design from concept to production will drop, he believes, by as much as 50-80%. The ability to overcome production constraints and make new things will combine with improvements to the technology and greater mechanisation to make 3D printing more mainstream. "The market will come to the technology," Mr Sillar says. Some in the industry believe that the effect of 3D printing on manufacturing will be analogous to -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

Fwd: New videos, NYC discussion 4/13

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marxist-Humanist Initiative <mhi(a)marxisthumanistinitiative.org> Date: Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 10:49 AM Subject: New videos, NYC discussion 4/13 To: MHI Information <mhi(a)marxisthumanistinitiative.org> April 1, 2011 Dear Friend of MHI, These are tumultuous times, with revolutions and counter-revolutions changing the face of the Middle East and North Africa day-by-day. We support the efforts of the masses who are fighting tyrants in Libya, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen, and elsewhere. In particular, we try to follow, hear from, and write about those people who are trying to work out how to build a different society, such as the Egyptians who have just re-occupied Tahrir Square with demands to curb the continuing power of the military. Meanwhile, the literal fall-out from the “natural” and unnatural disasters in Japan continues (see http://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/mhieditorial/mhi-editorial-japan-s…) The onslaught of assaults on U.S. workers’ rights, women’s rights, and civil rights is stirring up resistance such as the battle in Wisconsin over collective bargaining. MHI is attempting to analyze all these events in our web publication, “With Sober Senses” ( http://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/our-publication) but it is difficult to keep up. The constants in these world events are the destructive power of capitalist society, and capitalism’s generation of its own opposition through revolts that release human creativity. The theoretical contexts and possibilities raised by these “constants” proved to be controversial at the panel discussions that MHI organized at the recent Left Forum conference and an additional meeting in New York. At the Left Forum, we put on two panels on “Is Socialism Possible?” featuring many views by a variety of Marxists, anarchists, and autonomists, and another panel called “The Great Recession and Its Aftermath” featuring Andrew Kliman, David McNally, Fred Moseley, and Alan Freeman. At the panels and at our later meeting, “Crisis, Austerity & Resistance in the Euro Zone: A View from Finland,” there was much disagreement about the nature of the recent crisis, about what reforms are capable of achieving, and about whether socialism* is* a kind of reformed capitalism or whether it can only develop out of a complete break with existing society. For example, some thought that regulating or nationalizing the banking industry could cause it to help working people, and some thought that socialism could emerge through efforts to establish cooperative labor within capitalism. MHI speakers, in contrast, argued that capitalism must be uprooted in order for a new mode of production and a human society to emerge, and called for theoretical work on the question of what is necessary to establish socialism. * We are pleased to announce that videos of all four events are now posted on our website *(http://www.marxisthumanistinitiative.org/)*.* We encourage you to send us your comments, especially on the questions of whether reforms that are fundamental as well as sustainable are possible, and what would constitute socialism. *Finally, for those in the New York City area*, let me invite you to our next event (co-sponsored with The New SPACE): *“Is an Emancipatory Communism Possible?”*,* *a talk by Allan Armstrong from Scotland. It’s *Wednesday April 13 at 7:00 p.m*. at TRS Professional Suites, 44 East 32nd Street, 11thfloor (between Madison & Park Aves.), Manhattan.
