Committed to the creation of spaces and objects that provide alternative green solutions, Gruba works with salvaged materials. In their S.O.S. de Barrio Line they repurpose wooden roller blinds which are usually discarded in the neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. Each chair or table has unique characteristics depending on the reclaimed roller blind. More recently, they have come out with the Banquito Willy, a stool sustainably designed using engineered wood joined together without glue and an innovative seat created with recycled tennis balls.
Your place to buy and sell all things handmade. Quirky: The Invention Platform. 3D Modeling Tools Create Mobile Furniture With No Need For Nails [Sponsored] PSFK caught up with Chris Ryan, an architect and designer who has been using AutoCAD to create some of his more recent design projects.

What is the most creative project you have produced? I modeled and fabricated a seating installation (with Single Speed Design, an architecture firm based out of Cambridge/ NYC) for an exhibit they had at the Boston Architectural College (BAC). I like this project because it included 3D modeling and digital detailing, AutoCAD output, physical fabrication, and getting to enjoy the final product during the exhibition. I like it when the projects are at a scale that lets me produce and be involved in the entire process, from beginning to end. In this case, the project was small enough that I was able to do all of the work myself. What was your inspiration for this project? This project was based on a competition proposal SsD had made for a cultural complex in Korea.
How did using AutoCAD software help aid this creative process? Thanks Chris! Chris Ryan Studio. - MAKER MOVEMENT PROJECTS. Downloads. Collected on this page are all of the downloads for the clocks.

Mr Beam - a Portable Laser Cutter and Engraver Kit by Mr Beam Lasers. With the Mr Beam kit, you can build your own laser cutter and engraver.
Explore new ways to express your creativity: Cut your own designs from paper, adhesive foil (custom stickers!) Or other materials with the power of light. Decorate surfaces like wood and leather and personalize your belongings with an engraving. Our main goal is to make laser cutters easy to use, portable and enjoyable for everyone! The kit includes all parts required to get you started. A while ago we attended a maker scene workshop where we assembled a RepRap 3D printer kit. As we explored making things ourselves, we were further inspired by self made laser cutters (like ct hacks Laserplotter, Lasersaur and Domestic Hacks) and were fascinated by the variety of possibilities. The future is here at Design Museum / toothpicnations.

We have all witnessed the industrial revolution ( I mean at the 2012 Olympics Opening ceremony directed by Danny Boyle), and this exhibition focused on the possibility of a new one based on the past, current industry trends and technology.

Made in the Future. A / Embedded Knowledge We make tools to help us solve specific problems.
They have an embedded knowledge that helps us get things done. Think about a hammer, the claw to help remove nails is a piece of embedded knowledge. Someone solved that problem years ago and built it into the tool. New tools are more dynamic, they are responding to how we work and, in some cases, learning our habits. What could new tools with embedded knowledge look like? Early Evidence: Liftware works to counteract hand tremors for individuals with limited motor ability. Self-Assembling Robots for MIT reconfigure themselves based on their task.
