If beautifully ornate, 3D Printed skulls scare you, turn away, TURN AWAY NOW! You’ve been warned. If you listen to the EvD podcast, you know I have a Kickstarter addiction (hey, the first step to healing is admitting.) It’s exactly because of incredibly cool ideas like Crania Anatomica Filigre by Joshua Harker that are changing how artist work and how they’re able to present their ideas.

This week, TechCrunch Disrupt is showcasing new start-ups and emerging technologies that are bound to make a few of your face pores foam. Out of all of them though, none are making the impact that Bitcasa could. Infinite storage.

Who woulda thought that September would arrive, we’d begin prepping our Mason jars for the winter pickling and SolidWorks 2012 would be released to the early adopting hoards of SolidWorks users. Like many thing that come with a change of season, SolidWorks has fermented this release with tools taunted at SolidWorks Worlds of year’s gone past. Tools that go beyond modeling alone. You won’t see any massive shift to cloud based design, new OS support or a platform independent version, but you will get an increasingly utilitarian tool set good enough for machine design and product design alike. Here’s a quick look at what SolidWorks is packin’ into the pickle jar this year and how it’s set up to bring some sweet optimization to your current workflow.
