I found it, you! Sneaky it may be, but you don’t see me tossin’ arms and oatmeal about it. Good point though, it does go well with these links more than most forms of death.

Are you ever ‘dropping a beat’, and it’s just not flowin’? This won’t help. I’d actually love to see a raise of hands though. How many people use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for flow analysis in their designs? My experience with flow analysis and looking at scenarios surrounding flow of any kind has always been with a physical model, not even a 3D print. I’m talking cardboard, tape and little whispies glued every few inches to show turbulent areas as air passes by. This is where CFDesign comes in.

Prepare your drive systems and Plastruders my Cartesian coordinating friends. The great “Horn of DIY Fab” has sounded and the battle to maintain your 3D print fix and MakerBot units sold is EMINENT. Since MakerBot released it’s printer mid-April 2009, demand has been so high they’re turning to the MakerBot community to keep production of the cutest, little 3D printer rolling. The added benefit? You can get paid to enjoy doing what you love to do – printing 3D parts to print other 3D parts to print other 3D parts… yes, it’s mind-numbing, but OH, so genius.
