Close to a year ago, we saw how Big Life Fix was inventing awesome and changing lives. The idea behind the show–finding life-altering solutions to really challenging problems–is just great and I hope you’ve had a chance to catch an episode. But, if you’re like me, you wish you could see a bit more behind-the-scenes and everything that goes into creating the solution because, as you’ll see, even a seemingly simple solution is packed with loads of thought, desiging, testing, re-designing, more thought, and prototyping. Fortunately, Jude Pullen, loves the process as much as we do. Recently, he entered his ‘Swiss Army Knife’-style prosthetic hairdressing tool made for Kyle Elson…

When it comes to makeup, an extensive color pallet is what the pros are always looking for. Getting hues to match the outfit or creating contrasting and complementing shades to match the mood, are always a challenge. Mink hopes to solve the problem, and brings you the opportunity to 3D print the exact color you need. Makeup Printer The Mink 3D printer — named after combining the words “makeup” and “ink” — is designed to provide near-real-time production of actually usable makeup. This is quite an intriguing idea, as makeup is typically bought ahead of time, such that the wearer has a collection of useful shades. They can then select…

Have you ever wondered what’s involved to bring a new product to market? Perhaps even now you have a juicy idea scrawled out on a napkin tucked away somewhere. Every time you happen across it you’re thinking “Without a doubt, this here puppy is the next big thing!” Problem is, you have no earthly idea how to get from paper to product in a single bound! Or, maybe being the maker type you’re a touch further along the path having just emerged from your garage or basement la-bor-a-tory beaming with delight over the widget you now hold in your hands.

QSRs (quick service restaurants) are shoveling food into our mouths and plastic cutlery out in trash bags and hotels won’t clean your room unless you absolutely request/demand it. But, back to the QSR sore spot. If you eat takeout very often, you are one of the millions who add to plastic waste, or wooden rubbish (wooden sporks are the new thang). Yep, hang your head in shame. Or don’t, since Outlery is out to make flatware more intelligent. Using recyclable tin materials and intelligent alternatives, they designed a portable, collapsible cutlery set. And…
