Robot Bat doesn't suck (blood)

What is Bat Bot and Why Use it?

"In robotics, the bat is a challenging design because of all of the joints of this creature it is made to mimic. The flying mammal has been mimicked unlike ever before with Bat Bot, the world’s first bat robot. It has the appearance of a bat and acts like one too. But why does it exist – for what purpose?..."

3D Printing Ooznest 0X

Ooznest is the brainchild of Cambridge University engineering graduate Ryan Lock. 
First stumbling across 3D Printing during his studies, he just had to get involved. 
Buying his first 3D Printer then building his own, he knew this was going to be something big. 

Ryan started Ooznest during his final year of studies, 4 years ago, and wanted to do his bit in helping bring 3D printers to the masses. 
Running Ooznest from home, and studying away at the same time stretched him to the limit, but upon leaving university it has now become a full time venture. 

Originally focusing on 3D Printing, Ooznest has expanded in to new markets , now one of their biggest areas is the CNC Router sector. 
Ooznest has made a name for providing excellent personal customer service and products. Their kits have gained many positive reviews, the success of their OX CNC Kit has lead them to design their own CNC Router, The WorkBee, which they hope will be even popular within the CNC Community.

The WorkBee is now available to purchase, more information can be found at: ooznest.co.uk/WorkBee

my3Dtwin a new creation by Levavo in partnership with Cadventure

"My3Dtwin is a full color 3D printed figurine featuring you.
At our studio we take a 3D picture with our custom made 3D scanner to produce a virtual model of a person.

Next the model is being brought back to real world with our full colour 3D printer as a figurine of chosen size." My3Dtwin Levavo

Sweet 3D

"We're kyle and liz, a husband and wife architectural design team in Los Angeles. The Sugar Lab started when we were graduate students. We wanted to make our friend chelsea a birthday cake, but we didn't have an oven, so we decided to try to 3D print a cake instead. After a period of trial and error that lasted well beyond her actual birthday, we managed to print chelsea a tiny cupcake topper that spelled her name in cursive sugar. She loved it! We thought other people might like 3D printed sugar, too, so when we graduated, we started The Sugar Lab officially, in our studio here in Silver Lake."

Fabricating Articulated Characters from Skinned Meshes

Given a skinned mesh (a), we estimate (b) a fabricatable articulated character with (c) internal joints of hinge and ball-and-socket

type. (d,e) Final 3D printed characters (transparent material) have durable joints with a frictional design for character posing.

"Articulated deformable characters are widespread in computer animation. Unfortunately, we lack methods for their automatic fabrication using modern additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. We propose a method that takes a skinned mesh as input, then estimates a fabricatable single-material model that approximates the 3D kinematics of the corresponding virtual articulated character in a piecewise linear manner. We first extract a set of potential joint locations. From this set, together with optional, user-specified range constraints, we then estimate mechanical friction joints that satisfy inter-joint non-penetration and other fabrication constraints. To avoid brittle joint designs, we place joint centers on an approximate medial axis representation of the input geometry, and maximize each joint’s minimal cross-sectional area. We provide several demonstrations, manufactured as single, assembled pieces using 3D printers."

Markus Kayser | Solar Sinter Project

"In August 2010 I took my first solar machine - the Sun-Cutter - to the Egyptian desert in a suitcase. This was a solar-powered, semi-automated low-tech laser cutter, that used the power of the sun to drive it and directly harnessed its rays through a glass ball lens to ‘laser’ cut 2D components using a cam-guided system. The Sun-Cutter produced components in thin plywood with an aesthetic quality that was a curious hybrid of machine-made and “nature craft” due to the crudeness of its mechanism and cutting beam optics, alongside variations in solar intensity due to weather fluctuations..."    Markus Kayser

A milestone in 3D printing

Here comes the copyright infringement question concerning 3D printed objects. As 3D printers are getting much less expensive, one can expect a soon to be time when a certain number of objects will be home made. Of course, objects can be designed with a 3D software, but a shortcut would be to scan the original piece and simply copy it.

But we can expect finding online specialised sites which will offer, free of charge or for a small amount, ready to print 3D files. This new market will probably bring up the same problems we are witnessing with music and video downloading:

As soon as some smart ass will create an equivalent to DivX/ MP3 compression standard, 3D files will be easy to get and millions of artefacts, originally designed and produced by industries, are going to be scanned, available and shared online.

While the already obsolete war on piracy is on, it seems that no one has yet anticipated the forecoming problem, as well as the complete market revolution that will occur. Cheers!

A very interesting illustration: The Penrose triangle

The Penrose triangle, also known as the Penrose tribar, is an impossible object. It was first created by the Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934. The mathematician Roger Penrose independently devised and popularised it in the 1950s, describing it as "impossibility in its purest form". It is featured prominently in the works of artist M. C. Escher, whose earlier depictions of impossible objects partly inspired it.

The tribar appears to be a solid object, made of three straight beams of square cross-section which meet pairwise at right angles at the vertices of the triangle they form.

How to draw the impossible triangle

It was done in AutoCAD R14

3D Modeling precious fundamentals

Remember those "painting" software ads saying you would paint like Rembrandt or Van Gogh?

Of course not! Besides the absurdity of using a software that will  make you paint like a master of the past, access to creation cannot be prosthetic and demands skills.

There is no magic, stricto sensu, in softwares, despites the first steps ending up with amazing rubish results.

Andrew Mc Donald is giving us here a master class for beginners (and not only) enlighting what should be obvious: 3D is deeply and strongly rooted in a long time history and is named Sculpture!

Volume must be understood, felt, experienced, and mastered.

A long time ago, when life was in black and white, an old artist teaching drawing, had his motto:
What is drawing? drawing is seeing, looking at what you see, understanding what you see, and reporting it on the paper.

Well,  Andrew's brilliant suggestion is of the same wiseness and a perfect introduction to 3D: learn, feel, and understand, the tangibility of  matter, virtual or not.    Armand Dauré
