The Ridgewood Blog Brings a Free Market Laissez-faire Point of View to Local, New Jersey State and National Issues.
Technology has become a staple in our lives. We use it to connect with others, learn new things, and complete everyday tasks. Healthcare technology is no different. This type of technology helps healthcare providers improve patient care and outcomes. This blog post will discuss what healthcare technology is and how it can benefit patients and providers alike. Stay tuned!

Austin Tx, ICON and Lennar have partnered to 3D print a 100-home neighborhood in Austin. All 100 residences will be printed with ICON’s Vulcan printer, which can print concrete structures of up to 3,000 square feet. The aim of the project is to create affordable and sustainable homes that will still entice buyers. No estimated completion date has been set yet. The buildings will have similar or greater longevity than those built with standard concrete masonry units.

Technology has changed almost everything, including how we print. Before then, printing was just in plain paper, black and white color. The technology then changed to 2-dimensions before recently evolving to 3D. 3D printing has become a game-changer since it has led to printing so many things, which seemed impossible to many. It lets you print the full object in height, length, and even width. Manufacturers are being used to create a replacement for their machines and other amazing things, as discussed in this article. Here is the list of these things.

Ridgewood NJ, The Stevens Institute of Technology awarded National Science Foundation certificates to students in Dr. Lillian Labowsky’s Chemistry Honors class for the students’ efforts to create a three-dimensionally printed periodic table of elements.
Dr. Labowsky’s class created the chart on a 3D printed model over three months and individually printed all 118 interlocking element pieces. The height of each piece corresponds to the element’s electronegativity and the radioactive element pieces were printed with glow-in-the-dark material.
A 3D printer uses an additive process to lay down successive layers of material in order to create a computer printed object.
3D printing could revolutionise war and foreign policy

3D printing will revolutionise war and foreign policy, say experts, not only by making possible incredible new designs but by turning the defence industry — and possibly the entire global economy — on its head.
For many, 3D printing still looks like a gimmick, used for printing useless plastic figurines and not much else.
But with key patents running out this year, new printers that use metal, wood and fabric are set to become much more widely available — putting the engineering world on the cusp of major historical change.
The billion-dollar defence industry is at the bleeding edge of this innovation, with the US military already investing heavily in efforts to print uniforms, synthetic skin to treat battlewounds, and even food, said Alex Chausovsky, an analyst at IHS Technology.
Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have already invented “4D printing” — creating materials that change when they come into contact with elements such as water.
One day, that could mean things like printed uniforms that change colour depending on their environment.
