Mcor Matrix 3D Printer Replicates Objects on the Cheap With Simple Paper and Glue

12:40AM John Mahoney | 3D printers are awesome. Feed them a computer model, and out comes a real object–often with complexity that is impossible to conjure into reality via any other means. Still blows my mind nearly every time I see one in action. Especially cool, then, is the Mcor Matrix, a 3D Printer that aims to keep cost of ownership at a minimum by using as its elementals regular office paper and a common water-based glue. This hand model, for instance, was produced for only €3.70 ($US4.73). galleryPost('3dprinter', 3, ''); More »

Chair Made from Torpedo-Lifting Jaws from a Nuclear Sub Will Cradle Your Explosive Parts

2:45AM Adam Frucci | I can’t say that the Matrix Unplugged Chair looks very comfortable, but it certainly does look badass. That’s because it’s made from the torpedo-lifting jaws of a nuclear submarine. That’s right: the parts that used to handle delicate explosive torpedoes will now be handling your delicate ass. More »

65-foot-high Lego Cathedrals Store 19 Billion Pieces a Year

2:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | Without a doubt, the Lego brick storage buildings were the most impressive part of my visit to Lego. When I first saw their 20 metre high ceilings, with multiple giant robots going up and down retrieving boxes full of bricks, I felt like I entered the Matrix.

I was in total awe, and the amazement didn’t stop there.
