Inhabitat's Week in Green: 'Saltygloo,' 3D-printed lingerie and a Christmas tree made from 365 wooden sleighs
Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week's most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us -- it's the Week in Green. The 3D-printing craze was in full effect this week. No longer content making plastic figurines or smartphone covers, 3D makers are now taking a more delicious route. If you're pressed for time in the kitchen, the Foodini 3D printer can do some of the prep work for you. Meanwhile, Emerging Objects has found a way to turn abundant sea salt into a building material. It recently revealed "Saltygloo," a pavilion made from 336 3D-printed sea salt panels. And if cooking and building with 3D printers isn't exciting enough for you, there's always the 3D-printed lingerie that took center stage at Victoria Secret's annual televised fashion show (it was encrusted in millions of Swarovski crystals, of course). And don't worry if you're still 3D printing with traditional plastic filaments: The newest printer from 3D Systems is not only the world's first and only continuous-tone, full-color 3D printer, it also features integrated material recycling to cut down on wasted materials and filament expenses.
