Material Issues

Last week MoCo Loco mentioned (Link) the “Handshake” lamp by Paris-based designer, Arik Levy. Most of us who’ve been watching the development of RP as a fabrication option (especially in Europe) are familiar with his work.

Today I notice that Core77 has linked to a BusinessWeek article (Link) that gathers more information and images and packages it for easier consumption. I guess they share the same eyeglasses.

Meanwhile I’m finding other examples of people using rapid-prototyping machines to create products and sculptures (I even mentioned one recently – reLink). There still aren’t many, but I’m guessing that will change quickly. When I do find something interesting, I’ll definitely be posting something here.

In the meantime, if you’ve not noticed the Time Compression links on my blogroll, you might find them interesting. If you dig a little bit, you can find some informative rapid-prototyping/manufacturing articles on both.
