“It’s been lying there for weeks.” That was the last they were expecting to hear. Not only had the colors of the speckled paint mongrel coated the edges and patterned indentations, they had seeped into every crevice of the deepest grain. Slicing through, we found it, the class-4 hue extrapolator powered by these links. Gianmarco…
ParaNorman is a film to be released tonight, a zombie flick that’s fun for the whole family. Its not just another 3D computer animated film – its entirely stop-motion. Portland-based LAIKA studios, which brought you Coraline a few years previous, uses a 3D System ZPrinter individually manufacture every single head for every single character. All 32,000 heads cover the whole gamut of smirks, smiles, frowns and frustrations. And of course, lots of screaming. (It IS a Zombie flick).
When you look at an ordinary photograph, the image remains the same regardless of how you illuminate it.

You’ve been hoarding it for years–shelves, containers, closets and hallways filled with cardboard scrap. Mounds of it. Just in case you ever had the opportunity to take on a project of epic proportion, with the ultimate honor of having your brilliance mentioned on SolidSmack. It has happened for Israeli designer Izhar Gafni, and just as he’s feeling tingles up his legs about it, he’s also feeling tingles as he rides through the park on his cardboard bike. A bike engineers said was impossible to make. He proved them wrong.
I could have done a post on creating the cube matrix you see above, but what fun is that when we have an actual 3D (not really 3D) matrix that encapsulates the power and expanse of the 3D Scan-to-Print industry. Tuan Tranpham, the Community Managaer for Objet (soon to merge with Stratasys), in a perfect example to all the “marketing experts” that prefer to push out press releases, created this Matrix of companies, websites and services that make up the engineering and design industries. Anything missing?
