In between writing blogs on 3D printing, I’ve been working hard on another project – The Rygo. Made of 3D Printed Concrete, this incredible piece is going to be properly unveiled on Thursday, July 26th in Vancouver, Canada.

Point your camera phone toward your face and post your reaction–This week, Autodesk announced the acquisition of video shooting/editing/sharing app Socialcam for an approximate $60 million. Socialcam is the year-old video app that has taken over social video sharing and thrives as an integral part of your Facebook feed. It’s a move that makes the layer-making AutoCAD user shake his head as he posts a video of his experience climbing the stairs of a Mayan Temple, but at the same time, moves Autodesk into an area they’re quite comfortable with.
