<p>TUI is currently developing a revolutionary suite of technologies called "SpiderFab" to enable on-orbit fabrication of large spacecraft components such as antennas, solar panels, trusses, and other multifunctional structures. SpiderFab provides order-of-magnitude packing- and mass- efficiency improvements over current deployable structures and enables construction of kilometer-scale apertures within current launch vehicle capabilities, providing higher-resolution data at lower life-cycle cost.</p>
<p><strong>Challenge Addressed:</strong> Currently, a significant fraction of the engineering cost and launch mass of space systems is required exclusively to enable the system to survive launch. This is particularly true for systems with physically large components, such as antennas, booms, and panels, which must be designed to stow for launch and then reliably deploy on orbit. Furthermore, the sizes of apertures and spacecraft structures are limited by the requirement to stow them within available launch fairings. Deployable structures and inflatable/rigidizable components have enabled construction of systems with scales of several dozen meters, but their packing efficiency is not sufficient to enable scaling within available launch shrouds to the kilometer-size baselines desired for applications such as long-baseline interferometry and sparse aperture sensing. </p>

<p>Amanda Warren<br/> <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2013/01/see-for-yourself-innovation-ny-rep.html">http://www.activistpost.com/2013/01/see-for-yourself-innovation-ny-rep.html</a><br/> <br/> Representative Steve Israel (D-NY) is to introduce bill that will ban people from creating guns and magazines with 3D printers after a video demonstration of a working prototype by <a href="http://defensedistributed.com/" target="_blank">Defense Distributed</a> surfaced.<br/> <br/> After his staff stumbled on the footage, Israel decided he would renew the <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d100:H.R.4445:" target="_blank">Undetectable Firearms Act</a> of 1988 and then add a ban on the manufacturing, ownership, or transport of both 3D printed firearms and high-capacity magazines. Actually, he'd been eyeing the renewal for awhile and you may have been hearing about it along with recent 3D capabilities.<br/> <br/> <b>The recent video is among the very first to showcase a successful demonstration of automatic firing using a prototype printed 30-round magazine for an AR-15.</b><br/> <br/> Approximately 86 rounds are fired at various speeds in the following video posted January 12th, 2013. I thought it had gone viral but it only has around 200K hits - that means many still haven't seen this amazing milestone.<br/> <br/> <iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/q10Jz2qIog8?feature=player_embedded&wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>
<br/> <br/> <br/> The eyes of the world are on the advanced innovation of 3D printing. There is hope of endless possibilities of printed goods - everything from <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/green-architecture/3d-printed-house-giant-mobius-strip.html" target="_blank">houses</a> to <a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/49348354/How_3D_Printers_Are_Reshaping_Medicine" target="_blank">working body parts</a>. One new company will even <a href="http://www.wired.com/design/2013/01/filabot-plastic-recycler/" target="_blank">recycle plastic junk into material</a> for 3D printing.<br/> <br/> Some companies like the non-profit firearms group Defense Distributed even offer their blueprints for free as their name suggests. As of a few days ago, over 2,200 blueprints were downloaded - they are the "Home of the Wiki Weapon." An <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKAaO26FAvA">interview with DD founder Cody Wilson</a> last week emphasized what a gamechanger this working model is. <br/> <br/> Along with laws like Steve Israel's, a <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/10/new-patent-aims-to-prevent-3d-printers.html" target="_blank">patent</a> is reportedly in the works to hoard control of this technology. Can't have individuals successfully decentralizing, can't have free market or relief from a burdened economy. <a href="http://aotmr.com/djs/j-g-vibes-2/" target="_blank">JG Vibes</a> who often reports on 3D printing, compared it to the "traditional case of the candlemaker trying to prevent the discovery of electric light."<br/> <br/> Here's a head-scratcher: Israel acknowledges that the law is difficult to enforce (seriously, can we say SWAT raid increases and Orwellian surveillance?) but wants to ensure everyone that this law isn't aimed at owners of 3D printers. Huh?<br/> <br/> He said:</p>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">We’re not going to solve every problem - No law can do that. What we’re trying to do is deal with a very specific problem, which is the lone wolf who uses a 3D printer to make a plastic weapon in his home that can be brought onto a plane or into a secure environment.</blockquote>
<p>Not aimed at owners but at aimed at the "lone wolf" who uses one - meaning anyone who uses one or pays for a print. This law would have far reach because what's to say anyone possessing any type of 3D printer couldn't print guns and magazines? This could clamp the field of 3D printing - but, of course, not for elites who want to keep the capability to produce 3D military <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/10/monopolist-regulation-behind-wikiweapon.html" target="_blank">weapons</a> and <a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2012/10/3d-printed-drones-guns-post-scarcity.html" target="_blank">drones</a> to themselves.<br/> <br/> This is, however, not bad news. It is to be expected that lawmakers and corporations will clamp such innovations to keep defense technology out of the hands of individuals. But to positively reframe this story, let's keep in mind that at this point, <span id="goog_902675808"></span><span id="goog_902675809"></span><a href="http://www.activistpost.com/2013/01/3d-printed-guns-render-gun-control-moot.html" target="_blank">3D printed guns render gun control moot</a> and the possibilities for countless 3D goods are still on the horizon.</p>
