When you think about it, the design of dice haven’t changed much over the years. You can get them in different colors and more sides if you’re doing a Dungeons & Dragons run, but otherwise you can always count on dice looking the same. One startup team is looking to change the way you think about this small cube. Min Mendis have developed Luma Dice, metal LED-powered dice that glow with different colors. No, there are no tricks or special features to these dice; they just look really cool.
A stick lattice fence grew against the prairie hills, looking half forgotten, but for the kempt hedgerow and berries picked clean. We watched for days wondering when their days started, ended and what they did between. It wasn’t that we meant to harvest them, but to learn how they moved. With lop-sided heads, half fur…
3D printing is rapidly becoming the one and only way to manufacture parts – making anything from little action figures to wearable clothes. But, no matter how expensive or fancy your printer is they all have the same problem: getting finished parts out of the printbed. Doesn’t sound so bad, right? It wouldn’t be if you didn’t wait hours for your project to finish only to have it ruined by a sticky printbed. Luckily, there is a solution out there by the guys from MatterHackers, a team dedicated to letting people bring their 3D designs to life. Introducing the Automatic Print Ejector, the solution that not only works, but is fun to watch.
Onshape has had a bang-up year. After launching in March, upending CAD pricing, and locking down additional $80M funding (for a total of $144M), there were only two things left to do in the year: break out of beta and launch a freakin’ app store.
You grip that mouse so tightly at times, you hear its wee screws buckle and pop under the pressure. It’s ok. That’s just the result of the constant roller-coaster of excitement and frustration that consumes the life of those who use CAD software all day. We’re always on a lookout for a mouse that can take the abuse, while not damaging our delicate CAD hands. So today, we’re looking at the 3Dconnexion CadMouse.
