3D Printer

3D printing is already causing waves, with the technology being used in dozens of industries across the world including clothing, engineering and medicine. Using technology which maps out an object, the printers then layer thin slices of plastic - or other materials - on top of each other to create a 3D object. It is hoped that 3D printers can provide cheap and quick production, possibly providing solutions to problems such as forensic investigations. Some companies, such as RepRap, are trying to produce 3D printers available for home use, as most are only used in industrial or commercial settings.




Sony 4K OLED TV

 The 56-inch OLED TV Sony trotted out at CES may not be headed to the consumer market, but it is becoming a reality, at least in the professional sector. The company showcased a pair of 4K OLED prototypes at NAB 2013, outing a 4,096 x 2,160 30-inch model as well as a 3,840 x 2160 56-inch display. Both panels boast of wide viewing angles and low color shift, promising accurate signal reproduction for industry pros working with 4K content. No word yet on pricing, but interested parties can look forward to upgrading sometime in next year. Sony also announced a refresh for its existing line of professional OLED displays. The A series will replace seven older SKUs, again promising better viewing angles and color shift than the previous generation.
