Spotted today in the Boing Boing Flickr Pool: these dazzling 3D-printed forms, created and photographed by Boing Boing reader Jessica Rosenkrantz of Nervous System, "an experimental design studio that uses new technologies to reinterpret natural phenomena."
These images show test prints for a new project Jessica is working on. "Each print is 4 to 6 inches," she explains. "Meshes generated by Processing. 3d-printed by Shapeways." Here's her shop, and here's her website. More images in her Flickr set.
If these are tests, I can't wait to see the final product.
The Smarter Bridge is a project led by Mix3d, which makes robotic 3D printers that can sinter stainless steel structures and inch their way along the surfaces as they are completed.
James Coutts writes, "Indiana University Victorian Studies PhD candidate Mary Borgo Ton assembled an international group of artists/makers, a media archaeologist, laser cutters and 3D printers to create magic lantern slides that have not been made in 100 years for a show running in the Edinburgh Festival Fringe called Erewhon: "An antique magic lantern projector, […]
By creating a surfactant that holds water in place, scientists are able to produce repeatable liquid 3D shapes in these nanoparticle “supersoaps” with modded off-the-shelf 3D printers.
Drones capture stunning aerial photos, but not all of us have the piloting expertise to fly one without creating an impromptu shower of plastic confetti. Engineered with adjustable gyro sensitivity and a 6-axis flight control system, the SKEYE Nano 2 Camera Drone lets even novice pilots take beautiful aerial shots, and it’s on sale for $19. […]
There’s no shortage of coding training online. But, if you’re looking to get your skills to an employable level, you’ll need to get your hands dirty creating your own projects. Taking a practical approach to coding education, the Interactive Coding Bootcamp not only teaches you the fundamentals of coding staples, like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but […]
We live busy lives, and while it would be nice to enter into a clean home every night, keeping your space tidy is one of those responsibilities that tends to fall through the cracks during the week. Thankfully, it’s 2018, and robot vacuums are a thing. The ECOVACS DEEBOT Slim2 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner is perfect […]
