This is an interesting product – a plastic that cures via UV light, similar to what dentists now use for fillings.

From their site:

“Bondic™ is The World’s First Liquid Plastic Welder and is the only product that Works where Glue FAILS! It’s liquid plastic that only hardens when you need it to. YES it stays liquid and won’t dry out like those crazy glues on the market today. With Bondic™ you can bond, build, fix and fill almost anything, it’s a 3D tool that fits in your pocket. Use it on plastic, wood, metal and even fabric! It is a very simple 4-step process (clean, fill, cure and shape) saving countless precious items from ending up in the trash before their time.”

Also mentioned at Gizmodo…

I came across this posting the other day, about someone using a multi-axis robot arm, like you’d find in the automotive industry, with a custom plastic extruder mounted on the end, to extrude plastic in a 3D space.

It is unlike any other 3D printer I’ve ever seen.

Pretty cool.

Over at Makezine.com I saw this. Would look pretty nice on the ‘ole shop wall.
