"Fun with 3D Printing, Shapeways.com
 
Remember the replicator from Star Trek where personnel could press a button and out would pop food, spare starship parts or other everyday objects? Well technology is not ready yet to allow us to manipulate molecular structure at this level, but 3D Printing is the next best thing. 3D printing involves using a machine that looks like a proprinter on steroids, the machine takes a design file and through an additive process builds a three dimensional object. 3D printing is now accessible enough so that nearly anyone can design a 3D object using drawing software such as Google Sketchup, upload the design to a site like Shapeways.com, submit credit card information and receive a physical 3D copy of their design in the mail. I know because I recently took the time to do just that. This month, come learn a bit about 3D printing and have a look at my first creation, a Caesar Cipher Decoder Ring."

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2012. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad?
