MakerBot Replicator 2X, impresora de prototipos 3D
13/01/2013 por Juan Castromil @castromil con 6 comentarios Las impresoras 3D son tendencia en el CES y MakerBot ha traido la Replicator 2X, una nueva y mejorada versión de su impresora 3D que evoluciona en materiales, velocidad y precisión. La Replicator 2X es capaz de crear piezas de… muchos más colores ya que puede combinar dos tipos de cables diferentes. MakerBot dispone de 20 colores diferentes en bobinas de filamento plástico ABS, una mejor opción para fundir y dar forma a cada pieza. Externamente la 2X es idéntica a la Replicator 2, pero un nuevo inyector extrusor y los nuevos materiales ofrecen, en palabras de sus creadores, un gran avance en la fabricación de prototpos.
Blender 3D Design Course - Lesson 02 - Manipulating Objects in 3 Dimensional Space
Lesson 02 - Manipulating Objects in 3 Dimensional Space Introduction: Lesson #2 continues the examination of Blender's interface and begins to focus on manipulating objects and understanding 3-Dimensional space. This is followed by an examination of the basic elements on the sub-object level (vertices, edges and faces). Here is also and introduction to the camera view. Suggested Texbook Readings: Read Chapter 3 of the John Blain "Complete Guide to Blender Graphics" - Creating and Editing Objects (pages 49-84) Video Tutorials: 02-01 - Adding Mesh Objects In Edit Mode 02-02 - Naming Objects 02-03 - Deleting Objects 02-04 - Undo - Redo 02-05 - Blender Layers 02-06 - Global And Local Orientation 02-07 - Center Point Object Origin 02-08 - Pivot Points 02-09 - Outliner Editor 02-10 - Camera View 02-11 - Duplication 02-12 - Mesh Smoothing 02-13 - Camera - Lock To View PDF Tutorials: Exercise: Arrange a number of scaled/modified torus objects in a configuration that looks something like this image.
Blender Tutorial: Creating a Logo
(This tutorial is also available in German and Italian) About Blender Blender is the open source software for 3D modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, interactive creation and playback. Available for all major operating systems under the GNU Public License. You can download Blender free of charge on www.blender.org. Introduction Well, this time things aren’t going to be as exciting as the ride in the mines, but I’m sure I can show you all some very useful Blender techniques. This kind of stuff is actually the kind of work that pays computeranimators. The techniques that you will learn in this tutorial include: Rotoscoping (tracing a background image)Working with curves Tracing your logo Note before you begin: unfortunately as of Blender 2.37 the Background Image that is used below is broken. The most tedious part of creating a logo animation is tracing the logo. In this case, I just ripped a cool looking logo from the internet. Select a file, and load your logo into Blender.

Investigadores baten récords de velocidad en impresión 3D
Científicos del Instituto Tecnológico de Viena han demostrado un nuevo polímero y técnica de grabado láser que promete acelerar drásticamente la impresión de pequeños objetos en 3D. La técnica utiliza un polímero líquido desarrollado en la universidad que se endurece cuando es golpeado por una fuente de luz fuerte. El láser se utiliza para crear una serie de modelos dirigiendo el haz con una serie de espejos. La capacidad de dirigir la luz con rapidez y las cualidades de rápido fraguado del polímero con lo que no se necesita preparar la superficie antes de las siguientes capas, permitió al equipo establecer nuevos récords de velocidad para este tipo de nanoingeniería. “Hasta ahora, esta técnica solía ser bastante lenta con la velocidad de impresión medida en milímetros por segundo. El equipo está buscando ahora aplicaciones prácticas para el proceso ya que debido a la mayor velocidad, se podrán construir objetos mucho más grandes, despejando el camino para la impresión 3D del futuro.
25 Useful Blender tricks that aren't so obvious | Blender Articles
Automatically add a number to the end of your .blend filename In the ‘Save As’ window, press ‘+’ to add a number to the end of the name. This is very useful if you are saving multiple versions. If there is a number already in the name, blender will automatically increase that number by one.Preview textures The feature you always wanted was right under your nose! Simply Hold Ctrl whilst clicking the ‘Load’ button to take advantage of thumbnail previews. This feature however, is currently in an unstable state (which is why it hasn’t been made official yet), so use it at your own risk! Hold Ctrl while moving a slider to move it in 0.1 increments (hold Shift + Ctrl to move it in even smaller increments) Have I covered everything?
