Notes on 3D Printing, Model Making and Designing the Future.
Deep Dive
Could a Swarm of Solar 3D Printers Build a Dyson Sphere?
A Dyson sphere needs more material than exists in the solar system’s planets, unless the builders are self-replicating 3D printers powered by the star itself.
Deep Dive
3D Printing a Superconducting Ring Around Mars to Terraform It
Mars has no magnetic field, which is why it bleeds atmosphere. The wildest fix: print a superconducting ring around its entire equator and let the planet terraform itself.
Deep Dive
Bioprinting a Better Heart: Evolution at Prototyping Speed
It took nature half a billion years to evolve the four-chamber heart. Bioprinters running evolutionary algorithms could design, print, and test an improved pump in under a week.
