Today we interview Kevin Carr, President of Master Graphics. Kevin is driving the adoption of 3D print to aid clients in shortening time to market, reducing overall product development costs, and increasing innovation. Focused on creating a team that utilizes a set process to partner with leading manufacturers to successfully implement Additive Manufacturing. Master Graphics is a reseller of HP Jet Fusion Printers, 3D Systems Printers, and Ultimaker 3D Printers. 
Also we discuss how researchers from the Japanese Yamagata University have developed a fully-3D printed actuator that could form the basis of a jellyfish-like soft robot. Using a UV-based 3D printer, the team were able to cure a newly-synthesized Particle Double Network (P-DN) hydrogel, into a mechanism that contracts in a similar way to the muscles of a moon jellyfish. Building on their novel device, the scientists now intend to create an entire aquatic robot, with potential marine wildlife monitoring applications.
The benefits of developing soft robots that are capable of mimicking the behaviors of their organic counterparts,
