3d print show

I attended the 3D print show in London this year and found a couple of interesting sound related occurrences.

Here the website for the show

One thing that caught my eye was Gilles Azzaro voice sculptor with his exhibit http://www.gillesazzaro.com/pages/fr/printing3D.htm. Using an Obama speech carved physically into a 3D printed sculpture with a lazer that ran along and scanned the riddles and trough to churn out the speech. It was pretty epic.

Another awesomesauce feature of the show was a robot, like acutal robot, that would respond to vocal commands and was not only 3D printed with the parts, the software and the schematics were all completely open source. By the company InMoov. http://www.inmoov.fr/

Check it! I want to build one.
