It has a CE Marking, meaning &amp;quot;European Conformity&amp;quot; that the manufacturer ensures that the product conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable EC directives.</description><link>http://www.3ders.org/articles/20120502-fully-assembled-rapcraft-3d-printer.html</link><category>3D Printers</category></item><item><title>A self-positioning and representing blanket used for 3D modeling </title><pubDate>Wed, 02 May 2012 17:35:38 +0200</pubDate><description>Created by Studio NMinusOne at the University of Toronto&amp;apos;s Responsive Architecture at Daniels school, IM Blanky is a self-positioning and representing blanket.
