Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers

Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers
TinkerCad has been purchased by Autodesk and is up, running, and receiving regular updates! Creators of Tinkercad announced earlier this week that they would no longer be developing the popular cloud-based CAD tool. We’re fans of Tinkercad here at MAKE, having written about and praised it on the blog and in our Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing, so this is sad news. It’s going to be replaced by new software, called Airstone, that’s meant for a completely different, professional, audience. The free version of Tinkercad is still available to use between now and the end of April, and paying customers will have access until the end of 2013 (you can read more about the timeline on the Tinkercad blog). Here are a few other free alternatives to Tinkercad, starting with what I think is the most beginner-friendly and ending with the least beginner-friendly: 3DTin An in-browser tool that started out as a simple shape editors, with specific blocks that you can duplicate and manipulate to make models.

Tutoriel OpenSCAD 1 – Introduction | reprapide.francois-delegue.fr Page suivante : Allons-y pour voir ! OpenSCAD est un logiciel libre de dessin 3D paramétrique, c’est à dire que les objets sont dessinés par les commandes d’un langage de programmation. C’est le logiciel de dessin le plus utilisé dans le monde de la RepRap. Cette série de tutoriaux (tutoriels ? Le manuel de référence est en anglais : OpenSCAD User Manual. Interface utilisateur La fenêtre d’OpenSCAD est extrêmement simple – la complexité éventuelle est dans le code dessinant les objets – et comporte trois parties : à gauche une zone d’édition où est saisi le code « source » dessinant l’objet, à droite une zone de visualisation de l’objet, en bas à droite une console d’affichage d’informations (messages d’erreur, de fin de rendu etc.) Dessin en trois étapes Dans le menu Conception, trois commandes correspondent aux trois étapes du dessin d’un objet, dont la dernière est l’exportation au format STL utilisé en impression 3D par les logiciels d’écriture du Gcode : Axes X, Y et Z 1er essai

A Librarian's Guide to Makerspaces: 16 Resources "There were more than 135 million adult makers, more than half of the total adult population in America, in 2015." What is a makerspace? You’ve no doubt been hearing that word more than a few times over the past several years. Makerspaces, also called hackerspaces, hackspaces, and fablabs, are collaborative spaces where people gather to get creative with DIY projects, invent new ones, and share ideas. Since the first official makerspace convened six years ago in a library in upstate New York, libraries have remained an ideal setting for makerspace events across the country. There were more than 135 million adult makers, more than half of the total adult population in America, in 2015. Articles & Blog Posts on Makerspaces 1.) 2.) 3.) 4.) 5.) 6.) 7.) 8.) 9.) 12.)

About | National Maker Faire SolidWorks for Kids ou la modélisation 3D réservée aux enfants À l’occasion du SolidWorks World 2016, la grande messe annuelle des utilisateurs du logiciel SolidWorks, la firme Dassault Systèmes dévoilait une nouvelle application dédiée aux enfants visant à enseigner la modélisation 3D dès le plus jeune âge. Dénommée SolidWorks Apps for Kids, l’application a vocation a sensibiliser les enfants à la technologie et aux sciences le plus tôt possible dans leur cursus scolaire. L’application ciblera également les professeurs et les parents afin d’encourager leurs enfants à choisir une carrière en science explique Dassault. SolidWorks Apps for Kids devrait être disponible sur ordinateur, tablette et smartphone et intégrera plusieurs outils créatifs : L’application viendra directement concurrencer la suite 123D de chez Autodesk, une série d’apps visant à démocratiser la modélisation 3D. En vidéo, la présentation de SolidWorks Apps for Kids : Que pensez-vous d’enseigner la modélisation 3D aux enfants ?

Build a Makerspace Introduction by Dale Dougherty, founder of MAKE How do we give young people more opportunities to become makers and learn practical skills they can apply to their own creative projects? The question comes up after each Maker Faire, when I see how young people are inspired by other makers. I know they leave and want to start making things. Could schools offer more opportunities for making things? Could we provide potential makers a physical space to meet — a “makerspace” that can be organized with tools and supplies, so they can work on projects? At World Maker Faire in New York City, we saw a solution — a simple building called Shelter 2.0 (shelter20.com), designed by Robert Bridges to provide housing in areas hit by disaster. Can we find motivated parents and local makers to create a space and develop programs for local kids, in complete DIY fashion? Now, you don’t have to build this particular building. Related

The Maker Movement has crept into the consciousness of schools in the past few years. For some, it’s a wake up call that over-tested, over-scheduled young people are not going to become the creative, enthusiastic learners we all hope to nurture. For others, it’s a personal reconnection to our collective, deeply-felt human impulses to create, invent, and shape the world. Makerspaces, genius hour, design thinking, and other frameworks can help make these ideas come to life in classrooms, libraries, museums, and community centers. Leah Buechley is a former MIT associate professor and inventor of a wide range of “maker” technologies that merge high-tech and craft traditions. There are a number of organizations working to bring the empowerment of making to a wider range of people, not just in the US, but around the world.
