3-D Printed Cap Detects When Milk Goes Bad

When exactly does your milk go bad? There's a helpful "sell-by" date printed on the packaging to give you an idea of the liquid's shelf life. But at best, that date is an educated guess.

3D Printed Airplane Takes Flight

3D printers have become all of the rage these days and there are plenty of good reasons for that.  After all, these devices can do some pretty amazing things like creating spectacular architectural models and even working gears that are ready to go immediately upon render.  But how about printing a model airplane that can actually fly?  Yes, they can now do

MakerBot Replicator Prints 3D Objects

If you've never come across a MakerBot before, think of it is an inkjet printer, which instead of printing on paper with ink, prints a three dimensional object with plastic. Andy and Don investigate further with Bre from MakerBot. Announced at CES, the MakerBot Replicator is bigger and better, with an increased volume capacity and the dual extrusion, i.e. able to
