Barnett’s Pearls

Ok, you were all thinking that we were going to announce that we were printing in pearl (or perhaps mother of pearl) which is known as Nacre .
Need some mood lighting at home? Come learn about the many useful applications of a potentiometer as well as other essential electronics components. The Intro to Electronics workshop covers basic electronics theory and teaches you about electronics components and how to properly connect them through hands-on circuit building exercises. http://metrixcreatespace.com/

Evolution Beach: 3D Models of Moai

I received an email today from a faculty member at the University of Washington in Mechanical Engineering -- Mark A.

Sculpture through Rapid Prototyping

At Solheim Lab in Washington, we have been printing many, many molds and having great fun casting glass (more posts on that subject later). http://rpsculpt.wordpress.com/
Making do with less has become a recurrent theme that has surfaced as a result of the global economy. Yet University of Washington (UW) mechanical engineering professor and longtime practitioner of 3D printing, Mark Ganter, has been addressing the high cost of commercial materials and experimenting with his own material formulas for some time now. Five years ago, with the help of his graduate students, he developed a home brewed material, using a mix of artists’ ceramic powder blended with sugar and maltodextrin, a food additive. http://www.deskeng.com/articles/aaapwt.htm

Digital Fabrication at Alfred

Given my earlier conclusions regarding spray drying, I decided to further investigate this technique. http://digitalalfred.blogspot.com/

A RepRap Breeding Program

I have reprinted most of the parts of my prototype for various reasons. Some of them were just weak from poor print quality (My printer was acting up a few months ago when I printed most of them), others needed minor changes. The original part is the grey one above and the new one is the white one below. http://reprapbreeding.blogspot.com/
