* +Ford Motor Company engineers now using MakerBots *

Like other automakers, Ford has been using 3D printing technology since the early 90s. Now they are expanding beyond dedicated labs that produce large scale parts to distributing desktop +MakerBot replicators so design engineers can quickly produce prototype parts.

Ford engineers have 3D printers on their desks. When will you get one?
Personal computers and broadband were work tools before gaining wider adoption in consumer homes. Now, I wonder if 3D printers can make the leap from engineering and office tool to the next must-have …

I wouldn't argue with the selection of Honda's "The Cog" as the greatest car commercial of all time

Some years back, +Honda in the UK created a remarkable commercial for the then-new Accord. Titled "The Cog," the two minute film features one of the coolest Rube Goldberg machines ever made. The most amazing thing is that the 2003 ad uses no CGI and it was done in a single uninterrupted shot all the way through. 

Of course getting that one shot was no trivial matter. It took more than six months to create including four months of engineering the sequence of moving car parts (all from the Accord). Once they had it all worked out, it still took 606 takes before the entire sequence worked perfectly all the way through. http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/car-news/61487/best-car-adverts-ever
