Transforming digital 3D images directly into physical objects will soon be possible, according to HP, which plans to market its new line of rapid prototyping printers in Europe next month. Manufactured by Stratasys, the 3D printers are based on the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology, which would transform the 3D images into 3D objects by extruding ABS plastic in thin layers and stacking them together.

This is really fun, when photos can be printed we were amazed and look at now, even 3D images can be printed out into a real model! Seriously, we can make our own models, and design our own interesting toys with this little guy at home or in the office. Can’t wait to see this machine hit the market!

Actually, this one is for the design aficionados – the automatic gas cooktop with a focus on automation and environmental awareness. Designed by Alejandro Sanchez, industrial designer from Bogota, Colombia, it looks to also have one electric element, timer, touch controls and memory function among other things. Made of white ceramic glass, judging by its look.

Compact and powerful, quite modern feeling, the color and the design is really nice, yet easy-going that you can match to most of kitchen styles you like.
