3D Printing Demonstration In Chinese!

The creation of a 3D printed object is achieved using additive processes. In an additive process an object is created by laying down successive layers of material until the entire object is created.

International Investing – 10 Things to Consider When Taking Money From Overseas

1. Will your other investors mind? Will your current investors care if more funds come from country X? Does country X help or hurt them financially, legally or psychologically? Getting your current investors’ permission might be necessary.

2. Will your overseas investors have access to your company’s trade secrets? Frequently, investors want to understand and potentially copy your intellectual property. It may be impossible to track the actual source of overseas money. Thus, some overseas investor could be connected to a real (or future) competitor. Investment dollars might come from a real (or future) client or vendor. Will they be able to access your “secret sauce” and do you mind if they do?

3. Do you understand how to deal with the investor’s culture? We are back to the No. 1 stumbling block in international business: the differences in culture. If your way of doing business is completely different than what your investors are accustomed to, then there may be potential conflict on the horizon. How will you deal with their views on risk, profit, law, ethics and management? How will they deal with yours? How much education and hand-holding will be necessary? How active will your investor be in running your business?

4. Do you realize it may take more time to deal with an overseas investor? The single biggest cultural difference is our perception of time. The overseas investor may be willing to invest, but not as quickly as your firm wishes. Investors are often known for showing high interest initially, and then stalling. In places like Asia and the Middle East, that syndrome is even more widespread.

5. Are there tax consequences to your company taking foreign money? Even if you completely and fully understand the U.S. tax ramifications, does country X’s tax practices agree with ours? Are you suddenly filling out a tax return for country X?

6. Are you suddenly dealing with a whole bunch of foreign laws? Firms may not think of this, as in the United States we often have contracts that say “this is governed by U.S. law,” but does country X care what you wrote down (in English) and signed (in the United States)?

7. Are you suddenly dealing with government agencies in the U.S. that you may not have dealt with previously? As an example, a high-tech firm may take on an investor from country X and before they know it, they are on the radar of the Defense department, the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security. It’s easy enough to check this out in advance.

8. Is there an intermediary involved and will he or she make you comfortable with each other? In many situations brokers facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers. Many times, they prefer to stay in the middle of all transactions (this is the best way to ensure they get paid). But when a firm takes on an investor, it takes on a partner. Any intermediary must facilitate a relationship between the funder and the recipient of funds.

9. Is there an intermediary involved and is he or she authorized to do this kind of work? That intermediary needs to be authorized in the United States as well as in country X. You don’t want to be a party to breaking foreign laws unknowingly.

10. Does the country that’s investing in you have some kind of stigma? So, will your clients or employees mind if you are taking funds from country X? Does the country that is sending you money have a poor reputation for anything? If you take money from country X, does that mean that you can’t take new money from country Y? What countries does country X have a rivalry with?

The First 3D Printed Fashion Collection – 3D Printing Fashion Show

As Danit Peleg said: “I printed my own fashion collection. I really enjoyed the fact that I could create without intermediaries; I could design my own textiles and manufacture my own clothes, all from my own home. I think this is just the beginning. As technologies evolve, we will soon be all printing our own clothes at home.”

3D Printing News and 3D Printing Medicine – Revolution

Medical researchers are increasingly turning to 3D-printing technology to make revolutionary advances in medicine.
As its name suggests, a 3D printer prints ink not on a flat substrate, such as paper, but in three dimensions, in successive layers; the ink is substrate and substance in one. The first 3-D printers were developed in the nineteen-eighties, by an American engineer named Charles Hull. The “ink” was an acrylic liquid that turned solid when exposed to ultraviolet light, typically from a laser beam. Makers of cars and airplanes could design complicated parts on a computer and then print out prototypes for manufacture; now they often print the part, too. Three-dimensional printers have become inexpensive and ubiquitous.

In the United States, debates have erupted over whether citizens should be allowed to 3D-print handguns at home, which the technology makes possible. Today’s printers print in plastics, and also in silver, gold, and other metals, along with ceramics, wax, and even food. (NASA is working on a zero-gravity 3D printer that can make pizza for orbiting astronauts.)

3D Printing News – 3D Printed Ribs Saves Lives

Suffering from a chest wall sarcoma (a type of cancerous tumour that grows, in this instance, around the rib cage), the 54 year old man needed his sternum and a portion of his rib cage replaced. This part of the chest is notoriously tricky to recreate with prosthetics, due to the complex geometry and design required for each patient. So the patient’s surgical team determined that a fully customisable 3D printed sternum and rib cage was the best option. This is 3D printing at it’s best!
