Asteronimo writes about SliceModeler for Sketchup: Based on TIG‘s Slicer script I wrote a plugin that slices a solid 3d model along 2 axes, f.i. an X- and a Z-axis. You can enter separate parameters for each axis. After the slices have been created it calculates the slots for each intersection which allow the cross […]
If you’ve never seen the Craftmanship Museum, either virtually or in person, prepare to have your geeky socks blown off. This video provides a tour of this astounding “model engineering” museum and workspace in Vista, California. This is really machining as an artform. Their “virtual museum” has an extensive online collection. Prepare to get lost […]
Nice round up of VUW student work – creating 3D printers @ Ponoko via Beyond the beyond. Last week the 3rd year Industrial Design students at Victoria University presented the prototypes of the 3D printers they had designed. The challenge was to design and make a “green” 3D printer in 4 weeks with a limited […]
This table is made through rapid prototyping (3D printing) of branches that become increasingly more dense at the top to form a planar surface. It was developed by Platform Wertel Oberfell and Matthias Bär. Via Core 77. Related: Rapid prototyped brain lamp Avatar… in real life (3D printing)
