    Submitted by: Bhavesh Mistry

    Tripod Standing Desk

    Submitted by: Harry Neuman

    This desk has really been a lifesaver for me over the past year. Living in a small apartment, it's given me the ability to sit, stand, and work anywhere and collapses at the end of the day when I'm not using it. Its great for my laptop, iPad, or notepad and I use it during zoom meetings with clients, during morning workouts, and to work at local park. It's on my list for my family members this holiday season and wanted to share it with the C77 design community!

Is the Nike Vaporfly sullying the spirit of competitive running, or just changing the rules?Is it possible for a design to be too efficient? As mentioned at the Guardian, "Nike’s stroke of insight has been to synthesise largely existent technologies into a single devastating package, one that with the backing of World Athletics has in effect rewritten the terms of distance running."

    Protolabs

    Submitted by: Eric Ludlum

    The full-service prototyping big dog: in capacity and market cap Protolabs leads the pack. They have been around since 1998, have a centralized manufacturing base of 12 facilities and provide a range of processes to fit almost any short-run production need. 3D printing is only a fraction of their business, with injection molding and CNC making up the bulk. Their focus on customer experience and turn-around time, however, spans all their services, and they are ISO 9001 certified across all their 3D printing processes.

    3D Hubs

    Submitted by: Eric Ludlum

    3D Hubs began life as a community site where thousands of individual members, often hobbyists with a single machine at hand, offered 3D printing services. It was searchable by location, permitting users to source relatively cheap prints locally. With growth came a need to serve the needs of frequent users for whom price was less of a factor than turn-around, reliability and quality control. 3D Hubs consolidated to include only vendors of a certain production and service capability. While some may miss the community vibes the service now is undeniably aligned with meeting the demands of firms and companies seeking reliable 3D printing across a variety of materials and processes.
