Great fortunes are lost and won amidst quicksand. When well-trodden paths turn to labyrinths, the concrete is sublimated into morass, sunshine turns to hail, and 20/20 vision becomes blindness; new worlds are formed. Tectonic plates collide, and energetic, precise action can secure generational wealth or doom. I hope that in times like these, you are not particularly unlucky.

German startup 3D Spark has raised two million euros in a seed round. Swedish software investor Triplefair Partners led the round, with Fraunhofer Technologie-Transfer Fonds (FTTF) and Innovationsstarter Fonds Hamburg (IFH) doubling down for another round. The fact that 3D Spark is AI-based probably helped seal the deal. The tool lets you analyze digital manufacturing files. The pricing is then calculated, and you can use the tool to farm out jobs.

Polish inventor Tomasz Patan has created an Airbike. Reminiscent of the Star Wars Speeder bikes, the vehicle uses 3D printing to fly one person around. It looks rather terrifying, frankly, but the Volonaut Airbike may yet prove to be an invention that could see wider adoption. To make the Airbike, Tomasz used desktop 3D printed parts. Using a Prusa clone, he’s printed short carbon fiber-reinforced parts. He then drenched these parts with resin in a vacuum bag.

Yes totally! Distributed manufacturing by clusters of inexpensive machines along with automation would considerably lower part costs.
