3D Printing? Is The Genie Out Of The Bottle?

November 7th, 2013

There was a time, just a few months ago, where the main stream media was almost hysterical over the possible threat posed by these home made firearms that can be more difficult to detect due to their polymer construction. Patterns for 3D printed firearms continue to roll out at a regular pace. For example, plans for the 9×19mm Parabellum Howard Pistol (after ex Australian PM, John Howard) by RollaTroll were recently released on the 3D CAD file sharing site, DEFCAD.

The Howard

But as 3D printing becomes more and more mainstream, will it be “too late” for lawmaking bodies to control this intellectual frontier? Just this past summer, designers created a 3D printed house in Amsterdam.

3D house

Internet ethicists continue to ponder whether 3D printers will become so commonplace that the genie can’t be stuffed back in the bottle or, whether the roll out will be throttled as means are developed to control the technology. And, we consider how will intellectual property laws affect their deployment into the marketplace? In the end, this may be the ultimate threat to widespread use of this phenomenon that shifts manufacturing to small workshops and eventually into the home. Although, the moral dilemma remains. Not only could printers pump out illicit goods but also counterfeit versions of patented technologies. Based on what we’ve seen regarding recorded music and film, could hardgood manufacturers be far behind as their market transforms before their eyes?

Maharishi Teams with Casio G-Shock to Create “Pacifist Prepper” Watch

November 7th, 2013

I am a huge fan of the designs that come out of UK-based Maharishi. They’ve teamed up with Casio, makers of the G-Shock series to offer a special version of the GW9400 Rangeman inspired by the by the modern day pacifist prepper. This short film was created to show some of the new line from Maharishi.

Featuring TRIPLE SENSOR technology (equipped to measure direction, atmospheric pressure/temperature and altitude), GW9400 Rangeman was developed for military applications. It offers Shock Resistance, sunrise / sunset modes and “Tough Solar” power. The strap also incoroprates carbon fiber inserts encased in resin. Other key features within the watch include 200m Water Resistance, 5 Alarms, Multiband 6 Radio and Time stamp & recall.

Rangeman

Good luck getting one. The run is limited to 20, but it does come packed in a maharishi DPM: English Oak & Berry camo print cloth case and maharishi x G-SHOCK credit card flash drive.
