Researchers Develop 3D Hologram Display for Smartphone Use

Tyler Koslow 

Just a few years ago, the idea of having access to holograms seemed like a fantastical notion. What once was a communication tool in the sci-fi classic Star Wars is starting to become an imminent reality.   

A team of researchers from the Melbourne, Australia-based RMIT University and the Beijing Institute of Technology are developing what they call the “world’s thinnest hologram.”

Creating 3D Holograms On Your Smartphone

The team is designing a nano-hologram that you can see without 3D goggles and is also 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. Using topological insulators, the researchers are creating a holographic film screen that is only 60 nanometers thick.  

This material have unique properties, acting like a conductor at the surface but an insulator throughout most of the interiors.

According to Zengji Yue, a research fellow at RMIT University and co-author of the research paper, the combination of the metallic surface and insulated interior acts as an intrinsic optical cavity. This generates multiple reflections of light within the thin film.

Arte 3D!

Uma série de 5 Vasos, impressos em 3D, pelo Designer Olivier van Herpt, por encomenda da Marca de Moda COS, por via duma Impressora que imprime em Barro.

Isto é só o princípio, quem sabe quantos mais novos de Expressão Artística o Fabbing permitirá?

Olivier van Herpt Partners with Fashion brand COS to 3D Print Clay Vases

Hanna Watkin 

Fashion brand COS has commissioned dutch designer Olivier van Herpt to create a series of five vases using a custom-designed 3D printer.

Olivier van Herpt is an industrial design graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven. He has specialized on beautiful 3D printed objects made from clay. Fashion brand COS regularly works with artists and van Herpt was chosen due to his innovative twist on 3D printing.

Now van Herot has developed a series of five printed vases which are inspired by the company’s Spring/Summer collection. The designs take into account the colors, textures, and shapes of the collection’s pieces.

As a result, each of the vases has a different shape, from curved to angular. The final designs are now on display in COS stores around the world.

These stores include Stockholm’s Biblioteksgatan, Berlin’s Neue Schönhauser Strasse, London’s Regent Street, in Rotterdam’s Dreamhouse, Spain’s Bilbao and on New York’s Fifth Avenue.

If you live nearby any of these stores, check out the images of van Herpt working on the vases in the windows. You’ll be able to spot the designer’s custom-designed 3D printer which drips clay. By using a 3D printer, he was able to print larger designs.

Aeromodelistas e afins, eis uma boa notícia da Sculpteo este novo Material, CarbonMide, é plástico reforçado com Fibra de Vidro, e, já adivinharam, é muito mais leve que o Poliamido, com a mesma resistência...

E imprime com muito boa resolução!

É bom.

3D Printing Material: CarbonMideSculpteo 

Our CarbonMide Material
The CarbonMide objects printed at Sculpteo are created from a fine black plastic polyamide powder (PA12) reinforced with carbon-fibers. The material is characterized by an excellent stiffness and a maximized weight-strength-ratio. It nearly has the same mechanical properties than the solid black plastic Polyamide but is much more lightweight. The material is great for experienced professionals and people in need of a strong and lightweight material, and a very high 3D printing precision.
Due to the process related orientation of the fibers, the mechanical properties vary in the three axis directions. The Z axis is is the less resistant compared to X and Y. To learn more about it, refer to the design guidelines.
To learn more, refer to our paragraph about finishes and colors for polyamide models.
Processing Times and Pricing
The printing price of your design is calculated automatically the moment it is placed online. As you modify your object (changing size, using batch control or hollowing feature, etc.) you will note that the price changes automatically. The pricing is based on a series of factors, including: total volume, object size, and bounding box - to name a few.
Your CarbonMide object is estimated to arrive in maximum 16 business days. Polishing options and particularly large objects can extend the processing time by 1-2 days on average. The estimated shipping time is also calculated automatically as the object is uploaded.
Delivery time should be added to processing time and depends on the delivery option you choose.

Swamp Cooler, Hydroponic, Rooftop GreenhouseAviKado in backyard 

For those not in the know, a swamp cooler (also known as an evaporative cooler) is a popular way of cooling homes in hot, dry climates like Tucson, Arizona. It is a very simple machine, just a box with a fan in it and wet pads as walls. The fan pulls dry air through the wet pads, thus evaporating water, and pushes the now moist air into the home. The simple act of evaporation causes the pads to get very cool, and thus will cool the air as it flows past. The humidification of air is a side effect, but is usually welcomed when it is very dry outside. This is the same basic principle of how sweat works. However, swamp coolers can only drop the temperature of air by a limited amount, and will only work when it is dry, which is why you only see them in certain regions and even then, many people prefer AC units (or both). But enough about swamp coolers, lets turn ours into something else! 

It is an enclosed space with water and electricity, and is usually located on the roof of a building where it will get a lot of sun. The orientation of the swamp cooler does matter. The side with the duct should face north, but may also work if it face east or west. If it faces south it will block to much sun to make this useful. The roof of a swamp cooler is solid, but with the low winter sun it wasn't much of a problem.

3D Printed Lathe

iccycold3000  

First off, I am a sophomore high school student who actively participates in FTC Robotics representing Shark Beta Team #10088 and FatherBoards Team #10087. The goal of our robotics team is to learn as much as possible before graduating and going off to college. One crucial skill everybody on our teams had the desire to learn was how to manually lathe parts our self instead of sending the files for somebody else to machine them for us. This was where the idea of building my own lathe came in. As our school did not want to purchase a full-size lathe or for that matter allow students to operate a full-size lathe; the only other option was to build a miniature one myself. The major challenge of this project was that because all of our funds go straight into our robotics program and purchasing parts, the lathe had to be constructed out of existing parts in our lab, or the parts needed to be made personally (this is where the idea of 3D printing the lathe itself came into play. Another major challenge of this project was that the lathe needed to be relatively precise and accurate so that the final parts could actually be used on our robots. Those were the main challences I was faced with and I believe I did a relatively good job at solving these. If you do decide to build this you will find how percise and accurite it is despite it being 3D printed. So lets get to building!

Blackbelt 3D: Printing Ideas That Are Larger Than Life

Tyler Koslow

On Friday, another 3D printer will join the lengthy list of Kickstarter campaigns involving additive manufacturing. While some projects fail and others become forgotten, the Blackbelt 3D printer might just end up “changing paradigms” of FDM 3D printing technology.

Marketed as an industrial production machine, this printer is capable of creating extremely lengthy parts without the need for supports. These prints are easily repeatable thanks to a specially designed conveyor belt system.

Blackbelt 3D: Printing Ideas That Are Larger Than Life

The most unique concept of the Blackbelt is the high-precision conveyor belt that replaces the typical Z-axis. While the X-Y actuation system remains the same in theory, it has a slant of 45-degree. This modifiable angle will allow the user to print support-free overhangs.

The build volume allows for prints of up to 340mm x 340mm in the x and y direction. For prints that measure out to 1300mm or longer, Blackbelt recommends utilizing their roller table to provide additional print support.

Once the print process is complete, the machine will be ready to start producing the next object almost right away. The conveyor belt allows prints to roll right off of the print bed and into a container, eliminating the hassle of removing objects.

THREAD: The Hybrid 3D Printing Process That Does It AllTyler Koslow 

According to AMRC development engineer Mack Cocking, the inventor of this technique, the process is a “potential game-changer.”
Although THREAD is still patent-pending, Cocking is sharing a few details about the hybrid system.
For starters, the process offers full automation. It’s able to embed stands of materials like copper, fibre optic, steel, and also nitinol into the printing process. Additionally, the technique allows seamless connectivity through X, Y and Z axis directions.
This means that single or multiple strands of material can be embedded without impacting the original build time of the component.
The THREAD system will be ideal for applications with an intensive focus on weight and size of components. It will also prove valuable for systems that require integrated data transfer and protected sealed connective tracks.
Thus far, the AMRC team is testing the process on machines used for 3D printing polymer. However, they claim that their technique will be functional with different additive manufacturing platforms.

Homemade Lathe on a Budget

Matt Berger  

Retired engineer builds a bowl-turning lathe from scrap parts and a headstock purchased on eBay

When George Archer decided to upgrade his Shopsmith lathe to something that could handle larger projects, he didn’t browse the tool catalogs. Instead, he built his own.

“It does great,” said Archer, a retired engineer from Savannah, Georgia, who cobbled together a heavy-duty bowl turning lathe from $100 of purchased and found parts. “So far, so good.”

What inspired Archer to build his own lathe rather than buying a commercial one? “Probably the $2,000 difference in cost,” he said. Another likely contributor is his engineering prowess. The hobby woodworker spent many years engineering parts for air-conditioning systems.

Take The Mystery Out Of Laser Engraving Costs With This Price Comparison Tutorial

Lisa Horn 

Laser engraving: It turns basic laser cut designs from ordinary to extraordinary. But this added style, beauty and impact can significantly increase your design costs. To be able to achieve excellent design while staying on budget, you’ve got to get smart.

This means you’ve got to get smart with how files are built…and this may take some detective work to determine exactly where there are opportunities to tighten up a design that saves time—and money.

But does getting these laser engraving costs just right seem like a mystery that can’t be solved? You don’t have to be Maxwell Smart, Inspector Clouseau or 007 to solve this case. We’ve done all the legwork for you…and it didn’t require a clandestine impossible mission or an enigmatic decoder machine to get the files.

Ultimate Third Hand

Franklin7993 

What is a third hand?

A third hand is a devise used to hold something in place while work is being performed. It is essentially a third hand to aid your two hands. It is like having someone else’s hand to help hold something that you are working on. With the aid of another hand to steady your work you can perform the task that you are doing with a steady hand.

You can use a third hand to hold parts while using a torch to heat the parts and solder them together.

A third hand is useful to hold parts in place when using a soldering iron to make a join.

A third hand is very helpful when gluing parts together. There are dozens of other uses.

Essentially a third hand holds items in place while you work on them.
