FormLabs 3D Printers To Ship in April Kyle.Maxey posted on February 11, 2013 | Comment | 1728 views High accuracy 3D printing wunderkind Formlabs is about to reach another milestone. After having been sued by 3D Systems for patent infringement, and also needing to make some minor tweaks to the printers design, Formlabs is set to ship their machine to customers this April. While originally slated for a February release, the minor one month hiccup doesn’t seem to be dissuading early adopting hobbyists from acquiring their new systems. Image Courtesy of Formlabs MakerCase - Easy Laser Cut Case Design MakerCase is a web-based application for designing laser-cut project cases. Makercase runs in a web browser and automatically generates a blueprint for laser cutting based on the users specifications. The user enters the desired case dimensions and material thickness, and MakerCase automatically generates a three-dimensional model of the case that can be freely rotated. MakerCase lets users create cases with flat edges or interlocking edges using finger joints or t-slots for retaining nuts and bolts. Users can also add holes and engraved text to individual faces of the case using a graphical drag and drop editor. When the case design is complete, the MakerCase flattens the three-dimensional model into blueprint and generates an SVG file that can be sent directly to a laser cutter. Makercase was written in 100% javascript, using jquery, three.js, and JCanvas on the client side and node.js on the server.

3D Printing Outside The Box Joris Peels proposes a radical idea for 3D printing: mobility. Longtime Fabbaloo readers will be familiar with the concept of a "build chamber", in which extruders or other printing mechanisms move about to create an object. The build chamber is based on the mechanical concept of three axes of movement, but it has a major limitation: objects must fit within the build chamber. Peels proposes a different approach: abandon the "build chamber" concept entirely and use a robot arm mounted on a moveable chassis. 3D printing has previously been done with robot arms, but providing mobility would permit the arm to reach infinitely, enabling building massive objects. The resulting "printer" might look like Peels' concept "TankPlusArm" above. We like this idea and believe someone should give it a try, but we see a couple of challenges: Safety. Time. What do you think?

HolzMechanik.de This compact clock in a transparent skeleton design is really something quite special. Its Magical Name is derived from the solenoid-coil drive. It gives the impression as if the clock runs by itself. Of course, that is not the case, because batteries are hidden within its slim framework. They ensure, that the clock is provided with sufficient electric power over several months. There are no nuisance-causing cables and weights. The clock is equipped with an easily readable dial, and at the same time a very short pendulum. You have free choice. The short pendulum and both the fingers, which turn the clockwork provide a dynamic appearance for the clock. Another benefit of this clock is its whisper-quiet tick. The core of the clock is its solenoid coil and the circuit board. And, you need no special skills in electronics. The Building Instructions are very detailed and include all the necessary technical drawings. All the texts are in German and English.

How An Army Of MakerBot Replicators Will 3D-Print The Future Ever seen a 3D printer in action? If not, here's your chance. At CES 2013, MakerBot showed off its new Replicator 2X, an "experimental" version of the company's landmark 3D printer that offers some twists on the Replicator 2's design. "If you are a MacGyver, a Doc Brown or have a little mad scientist in you, and want to experiment with one of the fullest-featured desktop 3D printers and see where it can take you, the MakerBot Replicator 2X Experimental Desktop 3D Printer is for you,” said Makerbot co-founder and CEO Bre Pettis. “The MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer that we introduced this past September, is probably going to be one of the most successful 3D desktop printers of 2013, and we love its ease of use and reliability. At the MakerBot booth, the company had a wall of its Replicator 2 machines whirring away printing miniature houses and all manner of other things one might find in the Thingiverse, the online treasure trove of 3D printing patterns.

CES 2013: Cubify's New CubeX 3D Printer Wins Best Emerging Tech Award 3D Systems seemed to be the only 3D printing company out in force at CES, perhaps because it was at last years' that they debuted their Cube 3D Printer. This year they pulled the sheets off of not one, but two machines: Their updated Cube 2, a faster and more accurate update to the original, and their larger CubeX, which can print "basketball size" (10.75" x 10.75" x 9.5") in both ABS and PLA. Whereas the Cube 2 still rings in at an affordable $1,299, the base model of the CubeX will set you back $2,499. That's for the single-head, or one color at a time, machine. But they're also offering CubeX Duo and Trio models, dual-head and three-head variants with slightly smaller build areas than the single-head, that come in at $3,249 and $3,999, respectively. Their booth was pretty mobbed—I had to wait for a lull to sneak some shots in—and judging from the questions I overheard attendees asking, laypeople still don't seem to know much about 3D printing.

Free SVG files and Templates for Downloading - Free Laser Designs - Glowforge Owners Forum Decided to share a few of my favorite blogs and sources for free SVG files, for those of you who haven't gotten into vector design yet, but want to have a few things to use right off the bat. You can open these files in Illustrator, Inkscape or CorelDraw and play with making a few simple modifications to them to get your feet wet. Lots of the stuff is more oriented to scrapbooking and card creation, but a telephone is a telephone either way, and there's a lot of stuff to look through. (By the time you get done looking and downloading - your machine will probably be here, and it's a fun way to kill some time.) So without further ado, and in no particular order, I give you: The Dreaming Tree SVGcuts The Free SVGs Blog MTCSCAL e-files Monica's Creative Corner Tara's Craft Studio

3D Printer Prizefight: MakerBot Replicator 2 vs Formlabs Form 1 The demand for affordable personal 3D printers has skyrocketed in recent years, with new models and designs popping up all the time. Budget-conscious enthusiasts, designers, engineers, and small-business owners can still choose from plenty of inexpensive and kit options, but the higher-performance, better-equipped designs seem to have gained the most traction. Two of the best and most talked about 3D printers, the MakerBot Replicator 2 and Formlabs Form 1, were on the scene at the Maker Faire in New York City earlier this fall, giving us a good opportunity to compare both printers' features and sample prints. MakerBot Replicator 2 MakerBot first started making a name for itself in 2009 with the introduction of the Cupcake extrusion printer kit. The Replicator 2, announced in mid-September, is MakerBot's latest attempt to push into the commercial 3D printer market. Formlabs Form 1 Formlabs' goal is to bring stereolithographic 3D printing technology to the masses. Print Resolution Summary
