The greenest car in the world

Simple technology can solve huge problems when putting in the hands of many. This is the best I found to describe this.

Urbee is the greenest car in the world thanks to 3D printing and prototyping.


Smaller and smarter, Urbee is an all 3D printed car. When the journey is still on, this car can go as fast as 110 km per hour. 

Let's bargain with the future.

The future of us comes from sci-fi movies

Believe it or not, I once believed we were living in a deterministic world where the future was already set and we just had to act it out. I know this is so nonsensical.

While growing, I came to realize that, movies and dreams (day dreams included) are really the things that orient the future.

I lately was reading the book "The question of GOD" and Freud was arguing that true knowledge comes from science while Lewis was arguing that true knowledge can also come from revelation which Freud did not consider as a source of sound knowledge. (if I remember it right). That made me think, where do dream come from?

Where do great dream come from? I am talking about dreams that shape us. All movies come from some sort of dream after all, but technology is tapping into that knowledge base to come out with cool projects that not only eases our life but shape us.


Game design and movie production are shaping the future, I quite do not understand where those come from, but one thing is sure, it has helped and it is helping us evolve as a species.

3D printing and prototyping inspired future.

3D printing at large scale

3D printing at large scale can be way more expensive than mass manufacturing but 3D printing primary need was not to help mass manufacturing.

On the opposite hand, 3D printing has made fast prototyping more affordable thus making the production of prosthetic a lot cheaper that it has been so far.

Imagine, 3D scanning helping to scan the arm and produce a 3D model of the arm and all this helping to manufacture a 3D printed arm in few hours. All these are nowaday possible thanks to technology and sciences.


Prototyping has become more affordable. We are on the path to becoming superhuman. 
We design the future and the future designs us back.

What does robotic coupled with 3D printing result to?

Someone once said, 1 + 1 = 3.

I remember seeing a 3D printer for the first time and wondering if there were a real need for such a machine, fast forward today, and I can't believe what is coming out of this great technology.

Jordan Peterson said when Henry Ford designed the automobile he thought he was designing a tool to help humans move from point A to point B but it turned out that the automobile has been a great tool to pollute our atmosphere while it has been performing well in the area it was created for.

While hopping, we would not go down that path with 3D printing and robotic, the added value brought by the combination of these two disciplines has been mind boggling.



Without a doubt or need to make an argument, robotic arms are one of the things that will help amputee regain the feeling of control over their day to day activities.

I can't wait to see us tap into the full capacity of these technologies and actually be able to make all these available to the public.

I am so in love with Prosthetics limbs

There are many random facts about biology which we merely understand the reason of the cause and hopefully, science is going to help us one day understand them and possibly reverse them.

Among these random facts, I can name the number of children who are born every now and them without a hand. Luckily now we can use 3D printing to tackle these issue and provide a really cool replacement to the missing limb.

Here is what I call the advantages of rapid prototyping in action.



The future is an open-ended set of opportunity that a stable and thriving society can enable to tilt toward a better one.

Prosthetics and Rapid prototyping

With the latest tech, we can nowadays turn what was once a senseless process to something which we can hook the label "cool" to without actually being afraid of being misunderstood.

I was lately going through an ordinary youtube browse when I stumbled upon this video.



And it made me go back in the day where wearing a Prosthetics had nothing fun, the time when wearing one of this was a constant reminder that you needed special attention.

With Rapid prototyping, we have been exploring and building more futuristic and good looking Prosthetics for the physically challenged.

Prosthetics used to be a means to help the physically challenged to catch up with ordinary people but now with Rapid Prototyping and the advancement in technology, Prosthetic now only help them catch up but have abilities a biological limb does not have.

Those are the benefits of rapid prototyping.

The Future of renewable energy

The future of renewable energy



While we still have to harness the benefit of renewable energy, we at the same time need to think if any alternative can contribute to making the equation even more attractive to the energy industry.

Given the choice, people would be willing to pay more for renewable clean energy. One of the biggest challenge for the moment is the ability to transport energy from the point of production to the point of consumption.
