Creatr - The calibrated and affordable 3D printer. Robert Vissers – Eccomi 3D Since 2012 I got interested in 3D-printing as a technology, following the news and the general media.
Beginning of 2013 I decided to invest some money in a 3D-printer. There are a lot of choices. Based on criteria like robustness, and credentials of the company the Leapfrog was selected. The images and reviews gave a trustworthy feeling. Home - Leapfrog 3D Printers. Simple DIY 3D Scanning: Projector + Camera + Processing. DIY 3D Scanner from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.
Kyle McDonald sends us a hacked-together 3D scanner. I love that it’s slightly inaccurate in aesthetically-pleasing ways, I love that it’s something you can put together using stuff you already have at the ready, and I love that it’s powered by Processing. The applications could range from 3D models to motion graphics and animation to assistance in mapping projections to 3D objects. Kyle writes: I put together a 3D scanner yesterday that uses a camera, projector, and Processing.
From the video description: The first 18 frames show the images used for generating the 3D model. Now, we of course wanted to see some source code, and Kyle was nice enough to oblige. Projector and Camera, A Little Closer: New, Magical Mapping Tools, 3D Scanning, and More. Visionary 3D scanning, computer vision, and digital media guru Kyle McDonald is back again with more tools that break down the boundary between the computer and the world.
Kyle tells us he spent a great part of the fall in residence at the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media (YCAM) in Japan. He worked with experimental projector/camera rigs — and now we get to enjoy some fruits of those labors. The software collection is free and open source (MIT License), built for OpenFrameworks, and already includes some documentation. (The ideal is contributing back to the core of OF, adding to this artist-savvy C++ coding tool.) Mapamok A new experimental projection mapping tool called Mapamok is the major highlight for me.

Audeve3d - rapid manufacturing. CadQuery Examples — Documentation. Wrapper Classes for FreeCAD These classes provide a stable interface for 3d objects, independent of the FreeCAD interface.
Future work might include use of pythonOCC, OCC, or even another CAD kernel directly, so this interface layer is quite important. Funny, in java this is one of those few areas where i’d actually spend the time to make an interface and an implementation, but for new these are just rolled together This interface layer provides three distinct values: It allows us to avoid changing key api points if we change underlying implementations. It would be a disaster if script and plugin authors had to change models because we changed implmentationsAllow better documentation.
The examples on this page can help you learn how to build objects with CadQuery. They are organized from simple to complex, so working through them in order is the best way to absorb them. Each example lists the api elements used in the example for easy reference. Note Warning Simple Rectangular Plate Polygons. Your 3D design turns into reality with the 3D printing.

We think we know what makes things expensive to make We’ve all got a surprisingly clear idea of exactly what it is that makes something really difficult and hideously expensive to produce: serious complexity.
The cost of just about everything we make goes up exponentially as the physical functionality of its innards gets more sophisticated (big things containing motors and gears, for example, are rarely ‘as cheap as chips’: even silicon chips are only cheap because, despite their enormous complexity, we can and do make them in enormous quantities). But there’s an exception In 3D printing, our whole intuitive concept of ‘cost related to complexity’ is turned on its head. The cost of creating things using a 3D printer ‘goes down with complexity’: the more complex the item being printed, the less it costs to print it. 3D printing, laser cutting – design, make & build your own products with Ponoko.

L’impression 3D, pilier de la prochaine révolution industrielle. Révolution industrielle d’un nouveau genre ou mode sans conséquence ?
Le réel impact de l’impression 3D reste flou. Dans un article de Wired, Carl Bass (@carlbass, Wikipédia), CEO d’Autodesk, se penche sur les avantages et les limites de cette technologie. Le « paradoxe de la complexité » L’impression 3D repose sur des principes totalement nouveaux, en contradiction avec l’usinage traditionnel. En effet, il n’existe pas de limite à la complexité d’un objet.
