One day after spending too much time on YouTube searching for random videos, furniture maker and former NFL lineman John Malecki stumbled upon a video by Slovenian Woodworker which shared how to create a ‘floating cave table’ using epoxy and acrylic. Eager to put his own spin on the project, he upped the ante and crafted a larger coffee-table version with cave-like edges around each side of the design. The process is a bit more complex than you might think but no less interested to see how it comes together:  1. Make the Table Top and Bottom To make the cave table’s top and bottom, Malecki cuts a LOT of…

Arkansas-based AMBOTS is developing a concept called “Swarm 3D Printing”, describing themselves as “an advanced manufacturing company with a focus on swarm 3D printing and assembly” that will bring us “the next manufacturing revolution.” “This technology aims to automate manufacturing with a swarm of smart and autonomous mobile robots, from everyday products to houses and infrastructures. Just like how a swarm of bees or wasps would work together to build their nests, the swarm of smart mobile robots can work together to print and assemble products based on digital models on demand. AMBOTS stands for Autonomous Mobile roBOTS and Advanced Manufacturing roBOTS.” Swarm 3D Printing How does swarm 3D printing…

Your radio with its little knobs and its local area frequency range is so first-half of 2020. You need a radio that captures all the hopes and dreams of THE FUTURE… and over 2000 radio stations from AROUND THE ENTIRE WORLD. In what we would list at the top of ‘projects of the year’, Jude Pullen has extracted the rich pulp of his ingenuity to create the RadioGlobe, a desktop globe that summons the power of internet radio to play a station in the targeted area. It’s a build that combines 3D printing, PCB and Electronics, Mechanical Assembly, Wiring and Programming to bring a little more interest, a little more…

When you think of pillows, the first thing that comes to mind is lying down for a good snooze. A massive pillow fight is likely a close second. Pillow design, however, isn’t something that even seen necessary – stuffing, foam, or feathers sewn up in a sack, right? Yet, this pillow is design with ultimate comfort in mind for sleeping or even sitting. At first glance, it may seem odd that the Trangel pillow caters to the less popular idea of using a pillow as a sitting aid. I mean, it’s just a pillow shaped like a right triangle. But upon closer inspection, you can see just how useful this…

Since it became relatively accessible in the halcyon days of 2009-2017, give or take, 3D printing has been lauded as revolutionary tech – and for a good reason. Even excluding specialized machines that might solve homelessness from the equation, you’ve still got a hefty bit of creative power within reach. When it’s not geared towards sustainable development goals, 3D printing finds use at home. For everything from manifesting a child’s wildest imagination to creating prototypes for further technological innovations. Noble goals accounted for, exactly how much does it cost to give shape to something as abstract as ~dreams~? Well, according to ANYCUBIC, all you need is some technical know-how and…

When it comes to offroad vehicles, few manufacturers have the staying power and impact as the original Jeep. So when something new comes out of their factories, like say their 2020 midsize Gladiator pickup truck, people tend to jump at the chance to drive one – we’re anxious to do so here. So, when Jeep released a video showing how these dirt-kickers are produced, gotta admit, we were a bit excited. Jeep Gladiator Assembly Line Built in the south plant of the Toledo Assembly Complex which has been making Jeeps since the 1940s, the 2020 Gladiator is the company’s first pickup truck since the ultra-hip Comanche was discontinued in 1992.…
