The Rain Room


The Rain Room, an art installation by rAndom International, is a large room where it rains indoor.

The result is quite magical: you can walk through pouring rain without getting wet, no umbrellas required.

The Worlds First 3D Printed Gun


The world’s first 3D-printed plastic handgun created by Cody Wilson of nonprofit organization Defense Distributed.
“Wilson’s weapon is almost entirely plastic: Fifteen of its 16 pieces have been created inside an $8,000 second-hand Stratasys Dimension SST 3D printer, a machine that lays down threads of melted polymer that add up to precisely-shaped solid objects just as easily as a traditional printer lays ink on a page. The only non-printed piece is a common hardware store nail used as its firing pin.”
