TwinTeeth in the Media
Sorry, we haven’t had a minute to write blog entries since we released TwinTeeth last Monday - And we have to thank to so many people for their help that we wanted to write it well. Today finally we have got time to do it.
The spreading of the project has been incredible. In two days it was referenced in blogs and other media around the world and immediately we started to receive emails of "makers" interested in our project. Also congratulation messages and ideas about how to modify it, improve it, use it for other things, etc. It has also been very touching to see so many people who like to make things by themselves around the globe. And we are very happy for being able to contribute to it with our designing, especially in third-world countries where they don't have many resources to buy expensive machines.
We feel that things are changing and we are living in a very special moment, a change of paradigm. Internet is spreading knowledge around the world and amplifying people’s skills. People feel that they can do things very easily by themselves with information obtained from other people. And they also see that they don't need big and expensive resources to build small machines like TwinTeeth or RepRap 3D printer, which help them to make other things and machines and create real objects out of abstract ideas.
We also receive information about interesting projects to use TwinTeeth in bio-medical applications. We’ve received some emails of researches interested in this area. It has also been a pleasure to help them to improve TwinTeeth to print tissue scaffolds and other bio materials. Unfortunately, we don't have too much time right now but sure in some months we can collaborate more with them.
Thanks very much to our customers for believing in us and in our project. We really appreciate them because they have been early-adopters, pioneers, people with courage who trust and believe in us and in our project. They will always have our special considerations. The funds we are obtaining with the shop will help us to fund other projects.
And special thanks to the media who has helped us to spread TwinTeeth. Sites like InsideTechKnow: a fantastic community about electrical engineering news and resources which gently featured our project. Many thanks also to 3ders.org which is doing an incredible work spreading 3D printing technology. They write very interesting articles with added value not just copying form other sites.
Thanks also to the local blogs: www.imprimalia.com, www.spainlabs.com and www.bricogeek.com who was one of the first to reference us. And of course to www.hackaday.com: a reference point for hackers and makers around the globe. www.electronics-lab.com is also a fantastic site about circuits and electronic devices; Also to 3dprint.com and so many other blogs who have believed in us.
And thanks also to blogs in other languages: Dutch, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Arab, Hungarian, German, etc. whose content unfortunately we don't understand but they also help us to spread the project:
