The Week in 3D Printing – Jan 16th to Jan 20th

With CES 2012 behind us, the third week of 2012 seemed like a week of reflection. We found many articles referring to the moments of the event in Las Vegas while information was gathered on the buzz that it created. From an interesting discussion between 3D Systems and MakerBot, to offering our designers the possibility to put their items up for sale… it’s all in this year’s third week of 3D Printing.
