"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones." ~ Proverbs 17:22

What is 3D printing and why is everyone making such a big fuss about it?

According to Wikipedia:

"3D printing is a process of making a three-dimensional solid object of virtually any shape from a digital model. 3D printing is achieved using an additive process, where successive layers of material are laid down in different shapes. …It has been speculated that 3D printing may become a mass market item because open source 3D printing can easily offset their capital costs by enabling consumers to avoid costs associated with purchasing common household objects."

This week, I'll be joined by Onat Ekinci to discuss 3D printing and the revolution underway in fabrication technology.

Onat's experience covers a wide range of areas including robotics, aerospace and energy - he is an engineer and founder of Innovation Rex. Onat has a gift for understanding the multiple innovations that are reinventing the world around us. He's prepared a special presentation on 3D printing and on the "3D ecosystem" which you can find in the subscriber section of this blog post.

In Let's Go to the Movies, my pick is PBS Offbook's introduction to 3D printing. Here it is!

In Money & Markets, the impact of the budget shutdown on the financial markets gives us lots to talk about.

I hope you'll join us on The Solari Report.

Just A Taste - Where You Are
Get a "taste" of The Solari Report with this video excerpt from last week's report:

"Tonight is the 3rd Quarter Wrap-up, no interview and no guests. This is a time when I talk to you about the deeper trends. One of my favorite moments. You're in the shopping mall, you walk up to the map, there's a big green dot that says, 'You are here.' Once a quarter I like to revisit and look at the deeper trends and say, 'here's where we are.' Because its important to me for you to see the game." Watch the video...
