3D Printing and the Northern Walking Stick Insect: SciShow Talk Show #18

The video features a discussion on 3D printing with Ben Malouf, who shares insights into his work at Acuity Design, the process of prototyping, and the impact of 3D printing on production. Ben also talks about his journey into 3D printing, starting with his graduate studies and the assembly of a MakerBot. The video then shifts to a segment on northern walking stick insects, highlighting their camouflage abilities, behavior, and ecological impact as invasive species.

How does Ben Malouf's work contribute to the field of design and prototyping?

What adaptations do northern walking stick insects have for camouflage?

What are the challenges faced by insects like the northern walking stick during molting?

Discuss the impact of invasive species like the Indian walking stick on local ecosystems.
