Designer 3D printed Popsicles
Dream Pops was founded by David Marx, David Greenfeld, and David Cohen. And having help from a three-star Michelin chef like Juan Amador, good friend to Marx, certainly helps. As the idea originally came to mind for Marx in an effort to bring joy to the world—and himself—Amador liked the idea too and helped him come up with some unique recipes that they consider to be avante-garde yet inviting. “Why settle for vanilla or chocolate?” asks Marx. “At the crossroads of avant-garde ingredients, new flavors, and cutting-edge design, our product becomes the ice cream of the future.” The...
3D Prints for Teachers of the Visually Impaired
"3D Printing for Teachers of the Visually Impaired" has a goal to document simple, practical conventions for designing models, and lay the ground work so that interested parties can create the needed designs. Students with visual impairments have difficulty with concepts based on visual/spatial relationships, particularly in Math and Science. As 3D Printers continue to become a common place in the classroom, offering an unprecedented assets for teachers and students, teachers are often faced with the challenge of what to do with the 3D Printer? This project creates a open-source way to link teachers who need design files and designers...
