July 31, 2014 AT 8:00 am UConn uses CT scans and 3D printing to restore antique musical instruments: After seeing how 3D scanning makes precise 3-D images of body parts, Dr. Robert Howe, a reproductive endocrinologist in East Longmeadow, Mass., realized the same CT technology could help him study delicate musical instruments from the past.Howe, who is also a doctoral student in music theory and history at UConn, last year shared his thoughts with music theory professor Richard Bass, who contacted Sina Shahbazmohamadi, an engineer and the school’s director for advanced 3D imaging.Together, they have developed a new process: they first make images of those instruments using CT scanning technology and then create 3D copies of parts using 3D printing.Before this technology, to make a copy of the handmade part an artisan would have to measure it with metal calipers and other instruments, which would have left marks.
Then the artisan would have to translate those measurements into tooling. Christopher Boynton – Creating glowing jewelry with #3DPrinting #3DThursday #3DxJewelry. July 24, 2014 AT 12:01 am Check out this interview with 3D designer Christopher Boynton of Fire & Bone on the Shapeways blog -Creating glowing jewelry with 3D printing: Tell me a little bit about your background – who are you and what do you make?
I’m one of three co-founders of a small company called Fire & Bone that makes miniature animal skull replicas, to wear or collect, using 3D scanning, 3D printing, and lost wax casting in silver and bronze. We launched our first collection in a very successful Kickstarter campaign last December. I’m also a product designer and the creator of L Ī T (I pronounce it “light” on account of the macron), which is a line of 3D printed luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) jewelry that I launched in late June 2014 on Kickstarter.What inspired you to create luminescent jewelry?
As a kid, getting a glow-stick was always a special treat and I’ve always been fascinated by the quality and color of light they give off. Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! Home | 3D Resources (Beta)

Cultiver nos Fab Labs en bibliothèque: le modèle de Fayetteville Hier, nous avons eu une conversation très riche avec des gens impliqués dans le milieu des bibliothèques et avons eu la chance d’accueillir via Skype la Bibliothèque Libre de Fayetteville (Fayetteville Free Library) dans l’état de New York. Ce qui nous a impressionnés le plus dans le modèle de Fayetteville, c’est la simplicité de la mise en place du Fab Lab au coeur même de la bibliothèque. Ils ont commencé petit dans un espace restreint en installant deux imprimantes 3D et en invitant les citoyens à venir les utiliser. Les citoyens curieux ont répondu à l’appel et petit à petit le Fab Lab s’est doté de nouveaux équipements et machines.
L’espace est devenu un lieu de création et d’implication citoyenne à différents projets collectifs. La popularité des activités a fait en sorte qu’en septembre prochain, un espace adjacent à la bibliothèque sera transformé en Fab Lab. Contourner les barrières Un lab ou un space ? WimiLab : Un tiers-lieu rural d'expérimentation et de vie autogéré et autofinancé. Suite au Summer Camp 2013, le Wimilab est né : ce lieu accueillera un jardin collectif, un atelier et un lieu de vie partagés, et tout ce que vous voudrez y initier! Pour participer : Filament Sculptures by Lia - 3D printing by printhead movement / @liasomething. For about a year now generative artist Lia has been exploring 3d printing by analysing filament and the movements of the printhead. Rather than just having 3d models printed out, Lia has been interested in the possibilities of the process by defining the location of the printhead, the speed of the movement and the amount of filament that should be extruded.
She wrote a short Processing application to directly output gCode where you just define the above mentioned. The first tests were mainly about how much filament should be extruded to create a line and how she can produce a “dot” on the bed of the printer. The first tests involved printing out all the test-code on sheets of paper and taped her 3d printed results next to it so that she would get an overview what would work and what not. She discovered that surfaces can be continuous or chaotic, lines can be rigid or organic and filament can be closely controlled or let free to find its own form. Project Page | Lia | Flickr | Tumblr. Joris Laarman's Latest 'Anti-Gravity' 3D Printer Basically Conjures Metal Out of Thin Air. Posted by core jr | 20 Feb 2014 | Comments (0) About nine months ago, we got a first look at a freely articulating 3D printer, developed by Joris Laarman Lab in collaboration with the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC).
By extruding a special fast-curing resin with a multi-jointed robotic arm, MATAERIAL proposed a "radically new 3D printing method," suitable for "irregular or non-horizontal surfaces. " Now, the Dutch designer has unveiled his latest breakthrough in liberating digital fabrication from a build platform: As its name suggests, MX3D-Metal can print lines of steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze or copper "in mid-air. " The MX3D-Metal reportedly debuted at last week's Fabricate2014 conference and will make its way to New York City's Friedman Benda gallery come May. Laarman shared some more information on his approach and what's next for the team. We are developing different kinds of innovative print heads for different kinds of metals.
FABMOBs. L’anniversaire surprise de Jacques Séguéla. Jacques Séguéla vient d’avoir 80 ans. Les agences du groupe Havas se sont grattées la tête pour saluer cet événement surprise, jeudi soir dernier. Voici le cadeau de W ! C’est parti de là : “Pour ses 80 ans, il faudrait lui ériger une statue ! “ Mais pas une statue académique, précieuse et distante… Non ! Une statue populaire, ancrée dans cette culture pub dont il est l’icône incontestée, une statue moderne, en phase avec le siècle, imprimée en 3D… Restait à le scanner “en douce”, pour un prétexte fallacieux. Gilles Déleris. Progress on Parametric Printable Prosthetic | MakerBlock. Left palm of Cyborg Beast v7.0 OpenSCAD sketch of Cyborg Beast v7.0 OpensCAD sketch overlaid with original Cyborg Beast v7.0 So, I’ve been hacking away at an OpenSCAD sketch of the Cyborg Beast 3D printable DIY prosthetic.
At the moment I’m working on designing the left palm. I’m reasonably happy with the version so far. It’s easy to print a hand, fingers, and thumb scaled to 110%, but finding Chicago screws that is 110% may be more difficult. Underside of Cyborg Beast v7.0 Underside of OpenSCAD sketch of Cyborg Beast v7.0 As I’m going through and replicating the design aspects of the Cyborg Beast, more design issues crop up: The grooves where the fingers fit into the palm are either tapered or flared in a non-uniform manner.

Open Printable Prosthetics R&D Resources #maketheworld #3DThursday #3DPrinting. April 10, 2014 AT 5:30 pm It is deeply heartwarming to check in on the progress at e-NABLE and other open printable prosthetics project teams since the MakeTheWorld: Prosthetics Hangout Series wrapped up at the end of October. Many of those featured during that series are still actively pushing this research forward, and at quite a clip! MakerBlock is one of the desktop 3D printing superstars who has taken up this cause. He has documented and shared a number of significant resources to catch you up to date on the collective volunteer R&D efforts so far.
Here’s a resource he shared from those involved in university research into this topic: Marc Petrykowski of Creighton University was kind enough to provide some additional practical experience and information about the university’s research study into printable prosthetics.

Justmake3d.tumblr. “La promesa” (oficial videoclip) Fab Lab Barcelona opened its doors and expertise for the shooting of the last music video for the Catalan singer, Mazoni. Based on the ideas from director Miquel Matas, the Fab Lab provided its digital fabrication know-how, tools and facilities. This includes primarily the use of the Kuka Robot for camera movement and milling but also the use of Kinnect’s 3D scanner technology and Makerbot’s 3D Printer.
This aligns on a new service line targeted for video creatives who want to use Digital Fabrication technology on their projects, specially the possibilities offered by the Kuka Robot for computer controlled camera movement. Based on the possibilities this offers, the Fab Lab already has created a set of robot attachments for most video SLR cameras.

We the Builders. Normal Flora. LEGObot 3D Printer. Ever since I saw the first makerbot, I have been obsessed with 3D printing, I am an engineering student and I don't have an extra $800-$2500, and have been doing my best to create one out of what I have on hand. I tried using arduino with easy drivers, and parallel port, but neither one gave results, I always needed a tool or part that I couldn't get. So I pulled out my old box of legos and started building. This is a project I have been working on for the past year, it prints in hot glue and is made almost completely out of legos. Its design is roughly based on the first version of the makerbot. While it does print, I would call this more of a prototype or concept than a finished project. While hot-glue works, its very rubbery and doesn't have many practical uses, if only one or 2 layers are printed then it will stick to glass to make window stickers, but its not sturdy or rigid, I will be experimenting with printing using wax and heat-melting resins in the future.

Equating the role of the artist’s hand in traditional techniques, like woodworking or sculpting, to modern innovations like 3D printing, digital knitting, or CNC-milling, might seem antithetical to some. But a show now open at New York City's Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) argues that, though these pieces are not “handmade,” the creator’s touch is present throughout.
Organized by Ronald T. Labaco, MAD’s Marcia Docter Curator, Out of Hand: Materializing the Postdigital is a highly successful attempt to capture this particular moment in the constantly evolving world of digital fabrication. The exhibition features new and recent work from 2005 to the present and includes interactive installations and more than 120 digitally fabricated works of sculpture, jewelry, fashion, and furniture by 85 artists, architects, and designers, including Richard Dupont, Ron Arad, Chuck Close, Zaha Hadid, Anish Kapoor, Maya Lin, Marc Newson, Frank Stella, and others.

Buildings of the Future May Be Designed Autonomously by Algorithms. This spring, tech bloggers were abuzz over the new trend of 3D-printing houses, buildings, and maybe someday, skyscrapers and entire neighborhoods. Surely it's a concept worth buzzing about, but not because it's yet another thing that can be 3D-printed (after internal organs and rockets, it takes a lot to shock).
Rather, because it paves the way for another emerging trend: digital fabrication—the marriage of design and construction. Material printing is the yin to design’s yang, because it makes it possible to take wildly complex blueprints and render them directly into reality. Designers can break free of conventional ideas of what a room, a house, a city should look like. The most recent and stunning example was completed this week by two Swiss architects, Michael Hansmeyer and Benjamin Dillenburger.
To design the room, the architects simply programmed the basic shape of the space into a computer, and left it up to a series of mathematical formulas to do the rest. Namely, robots. Micro Planter. This is XYZ Workshop's winning entry into the MyMiniFactory chess and Pen design competition. The design is loosely based on a Bauhaus Style Chess set. We were interested in blending the simple strong geometric forms of the chess pieces with nature. The chess pieces allows nature lovers to integrate their favorite succulents or herbs into their game play.
Each Chess piece can be planted with specific herbs or succulents to give them a level of individuality and personality. This also allows the player to assign unique textures, colors and smell to the pieces. Use some Corsican Mint to bring some minty freshness into you game, or perhaps a series of hard wearing cacti if you don't have a green thumb.
We have also included a printable/portable chess board skin, measuring only 0.6mm thick. A little background | Silicone Robo-Tentacle. 3D: printing the future.
