The work he’s done is inspiring, as is the work he’s inspired in others. Enrico Dini and his 3D Printed structures is one example. This 3D printed chair from Freedom of Creation (FoC) is another. It’s aptly named the Gaudi Chair. I bet you’re wondering why. It’s not for it’s minimalism, material or manufacturing process.
What could it be? Here’s how it got the name and how they went about producing it.
Norton motorcycles has new and wonderful things in the works. For one, the headquarters was moved from Oregon, USA back to the temperate isle beauty of the UK. That was in 2008. Since then they’ve slammed the Pro/Engineer 3D modeling gauntlet down and redesigned the entire 961 motorbike. Seat, engine, fueltank, attitude… everything.
Chewin’ and pooin’ is what Ecobot III is all about. However, it doesn’t actually chew. It’s equipped with “digestive tract” in which Microbial Fuel Cells (MFC) containing biomass hungry bacteria converts the material to hydrogen. Once the microbes have done they’re part, the waste is sent down the chute. Ingenious really. On top of that, the robot was created using rapid prototyping.
I use to say, “Toast it crispy and cover it with jam!” about everything. It got to be annoying to some. Why, one day I woke up toasted to a fine crisp, covered with jam, being nibbled on by these here links. Lake Hurwitz – Illustration and concept art with a knack for creature, tech…
So, if you’re like me, it’s pretty obvious that you may want to create some usable data from a 2D drawing or graphic of a zombie monkey. Maybe you want to create a logo for your title block or maybe you want to grab the profile to start a model. You can do it in SolidWorks, and really… it couldn’t be easier.
