Shopbot, Cubify, Hobby Technik, e peças com cola.

O Shopbot Desktop é bacano!

Por este preço, não há quem lhe chegue perto, tem peças e programas comó caraças, ponta digitalizadora, é o maio...

E digo isto, depois de ver um excelente artigo duma Página no Facebook dedicada à Carpintaria, American Woodworker, com uma comparação, e um Vídeo que convencem.

E eis outro Vídeo, este com uma peça em Alumínio:

Vão ver ao Site, onde até vos ensinam o que é, e não é fresagem 3D:

3D Cutting and CNC Routers

3D cutting, machining and sculpting can be used in many different types of projects. It is one of the most impressive capabilities a ShopBot CNC tool will bring to your shop. All ShopBots have full 3D capability, and the high-speed capabilities of PRS ShopBots make them excellent for efficient 3D work. There is a lot of confusion surrounding 3D and how to best make it work for you and your type of application.

This section is intended to provide you with an introduction to 3D and to clarify how you might to incorporate 3D features into your work. Understand at the outset that there are a lot of different ways to do 3D and there will probably be at least one that is right for you.

Lembram-se do Ornitóptero?

Pois aqui está onde comprá-lo, Hobby Technik:

About Us

Sean Kinkade started RC ornithopter development for the hobby market as a life long passion starting early in life. Throughout the 1980's and 1990's gradual progress was made with various prototype models.

Breakthrough success finally came in 1998 with the nitro powered VT-series of models which led to the 1999 release of the world's first production RC ornithopter called the SkyBird. The trend in RC around the time of the SkyBird was more towards electric power and especially smaller "park flyers" as battery, motor, and radio technology rapidly advanced. Kinkade followed this trend which resulted in the development of the Park Hawk, the first production electric RC ornithopter.

Falando de Aviões, outras Máquinas voadoras, eis, dica do nosso amigo Inventor Eduardo Guerreiro, um Ornitóptero que faz as delícias de Míudos e graúdos!

Dica de Affonso Orciuoli, na página do Facebook Rede Brasileira de Fabricação Digital, eis esta notícia da Maglab, sobre o que poderia ser chamado de Arquitectura reactiva ao Ambiente:

 

MAGLAB Responsive SkinsII Workshop - AIU"Arab International Unive

Brief:

The workshop asks how material behavior can be introduced into architectural design and which consequences this has on design. The workshop focused on the behavior of material in larger arrays and how one can design and steer these.
The topic was scrutinized under different points of view (biology, mathematics, art) to end up in an architectural expression.
The workshop was structured in theoretical lectures, seminars on necessary digital tools and practical work during, which students explored around and apply the concepts and strategies explained throughout physical responsive real scale prototype.
The workshop supported with contemporary tools (digital fabrication) and technology (associative environments) which provided a strategic means for navigating the multitude of forces at play, while the prototype served as the activating link between material research and design innovation.

Trabalho considerável...

Laser Cut Eiffel Tower: Design Update 2

Posted on November 27, 2012 by Jon

Still have a few hours ahead of me here at CNCKing.com so much more to see tomorrow but at least now I have the angles worked-out for the base and got a few tweeks figured-out. With simply the based worked-out, it’s already starting to be recognizable.

Do nosso amigo Red Binary, este Projecto de mais alcance, controlar um Wah duma Guitarra Eléctrica, com o auxílio deste Aparelho, ora eis assim, um Instructable para Bandas de vários estilos:

Zeta Reticuli: MIDI controlled 10-band EQ and multiple external effect interface 

RedBinary

Approximately half my lifetime (20 years) ago I used to have literally drillions & drillions of ideas that I still feel aren’t a complete waste of time. One of these brilliant ideas was to be able to control a guitar wah pedal from my computer. At the time I had scant musical equipment to match my scant muscial abilities. I had scavenged what I could afford in my extremely limited means from pawnshops, flea markets, thrift stores, & the Penny Power. Among this discarded mess were an Atari 1040st computer which has built in MIDI, a Korg Poly800MkI synth, & a Boss DR550 drum machine. I had been successfully using the Atari to sequence the synth & drum machine, but wanted to also control effects for my guitar at the same time and in the same way. But this was the early 1990′s. I didn’t have the skill nor the funds to do anything of the sort.

For those interested here are some YouTube links to a blurry picture of my son playing with the Korg over very randomly spliced together and poorly preserved material salvaged from a cassette made at the time: SLSC-B01 & SLSC-B02
