		<description><![CDATA[The costs of rapid prototyping machines continues to plunge, with the latest being a $2950 machine from Solido.  The Solido SD300Pro uses a subtractive process, cutting layers from a sheet of raw material.

What&#8217;s not clear from its low sticker price is the true cost of materials; I have a hunch companies are finally aggressively [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Researchers are making good progress towards an interesting product&#8230;a fan that has no moving parts!  It uses an electric field to create a breeze up to 2.4 m/s; potential applications are small scale cooling such as in mobile electronics.  You can read more here.

		<description><![CDATA[Mac fans no doubt know about Bootcamp, a way to dual-boot your Intel-based Mac into either OS-X or Windows.  It generally works fine from what I&#8217;ve heard, but who wants to dual-boot?  Well, the latest version of Parallels Desktop not only allows you to run Windows applications from the OS-X environment, but finally [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cost of rapid prototyping machines continues to plummet; the latest is the V-Flash, a $9,900 modeler from 3D Systems.  At a desktop-friendly size of 25&#215;26x27 inches, it feature a maximum build size of 7&#215;9x8 inches and will be available later this year.  It&#8217;s not clear from the website exactly what technology it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think every Mechanical Engineer I&#8217;ve ever talked to would love to have their own CNC milling machine.  Unfortunately, their size and expense keeps them out of most cubicle farms.  To the delight of all, the sophistication of compact, table top mills is increasing while their prices drop.  One of the latest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I imagine the rivet shown here looks very familiar to most mechanical engineers &#8211; at first glance, it looks like a typical metal pop rivet.  Upon closer inspection though, you&#8217;ll notice the wide head and slotted body; this is an all-plastic expansion rivet designed to be used in similar manners as a pop rivet. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m absolutely hooked on my SpacePilot, the top of the line 3D motion controller from 3Dconnexion.  I&#8217;m not convinced it increases productivity by the 30% they claim, but I&#8217;ve noticed it dramatically reduces fatigue in my hands that alone helps me work longer (which I guess DOES increase productivity!).  Still, the $400 price [...]]]></description>
