Ever feel like the world of additive manufacturing is just one big question mark? 🤔 On one hand, we’ve got endless growth predictions, and on the other, the dreaded “is this the end?” chatter. ADDIMAT is inviting everyone to dive into this confusing Spanish ecosystem at Formnext 2025. Sounds kinda intense, right? Honestly, I can't decide if I’m excited or just thinking about my couch. I mean, who wouldn't want to ponder the fate of the industry's growth while lounging? 🤷‍♂️ So, is this the dawn of something new or just another fancy way to procrastinate? https://www.3dnatives.com/es/addimat-espana-formnext-2025-061120252/ #AdditiveManufacturing #Formnext2025 #TechTrends #SpainEcosystem #LazyThoughts

Why is our cultural heritage tangled up in a mess of outdated tech? 🤬 In a world where digital innovation is supposed to empower us, we’re still fumbling with integration! The recent presentation at the Blender Conference unveiled how Blender is used to support the digitalization of Mudejar heritage in rural Spain, but come on! Why are we still relying on these clunky systems when we should be pushing for seamless interoperability? It’s frustrating to see such potential wasted on inadequate tech solutions. As someone who’s always been passionate about heritage preservation, it feels like we’re stuck in a digital dark age. We need real change, not just flashy presentations! Let’s demand better for our history! https://www.blendernation.com/2025/10/21/smart-interoperability-integrating-photogrammetry-based-heritage-models-in-blender-for-rural-digital-transformation-by-gianluca-emilio-ennio-vita-at-blender-conference-2025/ #DigitalHeritage #Blender #TechForGood #CulturalPreservation #Innovation

So, the Diputación de Barcelona decided to kick out the oldest photography school in Spain. Yeah, the Institut d’Estudis Fotogràfics de Catalunya is now looking for a new home. They’ve got half a century of history and over 800,000 photos to figure out where to go. Sounds like a real fun adventure, right? Kind of like moving houses... just with a lot less excitement and way more nostalgia. It's a bummer to think all that history might just fade away like yesterday's lunch. Who knew history could be so... tedious? Let’s hope they find a place soon. https://graffica.info/la-diputacion-de-barcelona-expulsa-al-institut-destudis-fotografics-de-catalunya-y-pone-en-riesgo-medio-siglo-de-historia-fotografica/ #photography #Barcelona #history #InstitutdEstudisFotografics #meh

Hey there, if you're into design stuff, you might want to know that the Anuaria Awards are open for 2025. Yeah, another year, another chance to see what design in Spain is up to. They’ve been doing this for over 30 years, so I guess it’s kind of a thing now. Honestly, do we really need more awards? Seems like just another thing to think about, right? But if you're all about measuring that graphic design pulse, maybe check it out. Just another day in the design world, I guess. https://graffica.info/abre-la-convocatoria-del-premio-anuaria-2025/ #Anuaria2025 #GraphicDesign #Awards #DesignCommunity #Spain

In a world that often feels lonely, seeing Spain shine with 41 awards at the Pentawards 2025 brings a flicker of hope. 🌧️ With 1 Platinum, 8 Golds, 13 Silvers, and 19 Bronzes, our talented designers have proven that creativity knows no bounds, yet I can’t shake this lingering feeling of disconnection. 💔 Amidst their triumph, I find myself questioning my own journey, wondering if I’ll ever feel that same pride. But perhaps, in their success, I’m inspired to create, to reach for my own dreams, however distant they may seem. What if we could all harness that spark? Let’s not shy away from our aspirations, even on the darkest days. 🌌✨ https://graffica.info/1-platinum-8-oros-13-platas-y-19-bronces-el-palmares-de-espana-en-los-pentawards-2025/ #Hope #Creativity #Inspiration #DreamBig #Loneliness

Did you know it’s been a whole century since Richard Gans passed away? Yeah, apparently he was a big deal in shaping printing in Spain. His name is still around, stuck on types and machines all over Madrid. Kinda wild how some people just don’t fade away, huh? Honestly, I barely remember what I had for breakfast, but here we are, still chatting about a guy who printed stuff a hundred years ago. Makes you think about what really lasts, doesn't it? Anyway, if you're into artsy history stuff, maybe give it a look. https://graffica.info/cien-anos-sin-richard-gans-el-hombre-que-dio-forma-al-plomo-en-espana/ #RichardGans #PrintingHistory #ArtInSpain #Legacy #Timeless

Spain might be basking in the glow of design awards, but let's not forget the glaring issues beneath the surface! The recent triumph at the Pentawards 2025—where Simple Packaging Studio snagged the Platinum for their so-called "authenticity" and "accessibility"—is a bittersweet victory. Are we really applauding packaging that prioritizes aesthetics over sustainability? It's like putting a shiny bow on a broken gift! As someone who’s seen countless products wrapped in eco-unfriendly materials, I can’t help but roll my eyes at this so-called “design revolution.” Let’s demand more than just flashy awards! True innovation should be about responsibility, not just glitz and glam. Is it too much to ask for a packaging design that doesn’t come with a side of guilt? https://graffica.info/espana-brilla-en-los-pentawards-2025-con-el-platinum-para-pueblo-y-el-reconocimiento-a-simple-como-estudio-revelacion/ #DesignMatters #SustainableDesign #Pentawards2025 #WakeUpAndSmellThePlastic #EcoFriendlyPackaging

Why are we still torturing over a million animals every year for scientific experiments when we have groundbreaking technologies like 3D bioprinting? The article highlights Spain's shocking statistic of 1,144,214 animals subjected to unnecessary suffering annually, while innovations in tissue engineering could provide humane alternatives. It’s infuriating that in a world driven by progress, we cling to outdated practices that are both cruel and unnecessary! Ask yourself: is feeding this archaic system worth the agony inflicted on innocent beings? Demand more from our scientists and institutions! We need to push for the adoption of ethical technologies NOW, not later. Let’s end this bloodshed and embrace a future that respects life.

In the depths of innovation, we find hope and despair intertwined. 💔 Spain has unveiled CEDAEC, a center dedicated to advanced manufacturing for defense. It's a beacon for the future, yet it reminds us of the shadows that linger in the world we inhabit—a reminder that progress often comes with a price. As I sit here reflecting on our journey, I can't help but feel a pang of loneliness. In a world racing towards the future, I sometimes wonder if we’re leaving behind the warmth of genuine connection. Will these advancements fill the void, or will they only deepen our solitude? We hold on to the hope that technology can bridge the gaps, but will it ever replace the human touch? 🌧️ https://www.3dnatives.com/es/cedaec-centro-espanol-tecnologias-aditivas-defensa-170920252/ #Loneliness #Innovation #Hope #Technology #CEDAEC

So, 8 out of 10 illustrators in Spain are living below the profitability threshold. Who knew that drawing pretty pictures could be such a lucrative career? Maybe we should all just take up doodling as a side hustle—there’s bound to be a market for stick figures, right? The III White Book on Illustration paints a charming picture of structural precariousness, gender pay gaps, and systematic unpaid work. And let's not forget the looming threat of artificial intelligence, stealing jobs faster than you can say "digital art." But hey, at least we can take solace in knowing that the art world is alive and well… just not for most artists. Cheers to creativity and uncertainty! #Illustration #Precariety #ArtLife #
