Uma bancada Portátil multi-usos, Uma data de Mecanismos, Pontas de Prova Wifi, um E-book da Solidworks, e o MakePrintable melhorado

Isto é que é uma Multi-Máquina que podem fazer em horas! 
Cortar por serra de disco, em ângulos, e com bitolas e tudo, cortar por serra tico-tico, e ainda, fresar tudo numa Bancada que se pode dobrar, e desdobrar, se houver falta de spaço...
É bom!

Portable Workshop

Paoson Woodwork 

A Portable Workshop for those of you that don't have much space or a compact cabinet you can carry all your stuff to work in other locations.

I wanted it to keep it as small as possible for those of you that don't have much space or your car and tools share the same place. It has wheels so it can be moved by only one person and you can even carry it in your car with a little help to get it in, of course. As you can see it has 3 functions. Saw table, Router and Scroll Saw. Also it has a big cabinet you can use to carry some of your tools with you.

Querem entrar no mundo da Impressão 3D Profissional? 

Eis como o fazerem com este Guia, uma página impecável da Sculpteo, que vos explica tudo, tintim por tintim...

 Guide to Professional 3D Printers

There are over 100 industry-grade 3D printer models currently on the market. These printers are large, commercial 3D printing machines intended for professional use. At Sculpteo we exclusively uses professional 3D printers.

We’ve put together a guide to these industrial 3D printers based on a selection of printers from each manufacturer that best represents the range of options out there — from price to materials to build size.

We hope this guide will help you determine the best 3D printer for your business needs. And don’t forget, you don’t have to buy your own printer to have access to professional quality 3D printing. Sculpteo offers an online 3D printing service using a variety of the printers listed in this guide.

Note on pricing: Because commercial 3D printers are sold through third-party, licensed resellers, there is not a standard retail price for each printer. Prices are only available via a quote from one of these resellers. We have recorded the pricing below based either on a quote from a reseller that asked to stay anonymous or from another online source (with a link).

The guide is organized by printer technology. For details explaining each process, check out The Different Technologies Behind 3D Printing.

Space: The Final (Maker) Frontier

Andrew Back

A look at three relatively low cost routes to getting your electronics project into space.

There was a time — not that very long ago — when if you wanted to get a functional piece of electronics into space it took an obscene amount of money and a few hundred tonnes of volatile rocket fuel. Suffice to say that, unless you were part of a national space programme, a global telecoms company or an evil supervillain, you were probably out of luck.

Thanks to ever smaller and lower cost technologies, coupled with a burning desire to get in on the action and a healthy dose of inventiveness, this is all changing — and at a somewhat rapid pace. This post takes a look at just a few of the options available for getting your project into space.

E esta Técnica cabe na Categoria de "porque é que ninguém pensou nisso, até agora?"!!!

Todos conhecem o Algodão Doce, mas podem-se utilizar Fibras de toda a espécie, para construír Estruturas leves e rápidas de fazer!

Até se poderá pensar em máquinas CNC para sabe-se lá mais o quê!

Dica de Zoe Romano, do Blogue da Arduino, e obra de Jin Shihui, que aparece embaixo a segurar a sua Máquina, controlada, já se vê, por um Arduino... 

Vejam e MARAVILHEM-SE!

Spraying natural fibers to build cotton-candy surfaces

Zoe Romano

During Fab10- Fab Festival in Barcelona I met Jin Shihui who introduced me to CandyProject, a research project exploring the process of spraying natural fiber to create a non-woven textile that can be used to produce anything from building components to ornamental artifacts.

By means of air pressure we separate the fibers from a roving allowing them to self-organize and reassemble due to the surface tension caused by a fine mist of adhesive. This creates a controlled fibrous aggregation producing an emergent morphospace encompassing the initial substructure.

The robot Jin is holding in her hands in the picture above uses air pressure to separate fibers into individual strands. While the fibers are still separated they are embedded with an adhesive spray and all parameters are controlled within the robot  with an Arduino Uno:

CNC para todos! Cestaria 3D, uma Impressora 3D para a Criançada, outro Cellphone Faça você mesmo, e re-magnetizar um velho ìman de Ferradura.

Ajudem este Engenhocas Brasileiro a concretizar um sonho de alto gabarito, CNC para toda a gente!
Divulguem que eles merecem, esta foi uma Dica da Rede Brasileira de Fabricação Digital, que é preciso apoiar!

Protoptimus quer colocar máquinas CNC ao alcance de todos mas precisa de sua ajuda para isso 

O maker Jeferson Simões quer colocar ao alcance de qualquer pessoa uma máquina CNC. Ele acabou de lançar no Catarse uma campanha de financiamento coletivo para colocar de pé a versão comercial da Protoptimus CNC.

E a malta nova adora estas Maquinetas, porque as vê, como feitas para elas.

Printeer - a 3D printer for kids & schools

Mission Street Manufacturing 

Toys such as Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, Legos, and K'nex have been at the center of children's playrooms for generations. But what about now? In a digital age, when technology skills are some of the most important a child can learn, is there a way to bridge the gap between the screen and the physical world? Now there is. 3D printing is tailor-made for today's curious, tech-savvy kids. And that's why we've made Printeer.
Printeer is for today's kids, tomorrow's engineers & designers

Ora cá está mais um Cell Phone que vocês podem construír em casa, Open Source, cortesia da Rs-online:

Building a DIY Cellphone

Anrew Back

An open source mobile phone that you can build yourself.

The DIY Cellphone was developed by David A. Mellis, a researcher at MIT Media Lab and one of the creators of Arduino — which as it happens, is used in this project.

As far as I am aware this is not available as a complete kit of parts. However, it's an open source design, the Gerber files have been made available and PCBs can be ordered direct from OSH Park (note that there are two variants: the one described here with an LED matrix, and one with an LCD).

E para re-magnetizarem os vossos velhos Ímanes em Ferradura, eis uma lição da KJMagnetics, para além de outras considerações úteis sobre Magnetismo:

How to remagnetize an old horseshoe magnet

In the video below, we show how to re-magnetize a horseshoe magnet.  We’re using the HS1 Alnico magnets available in our Horseshoe Magnets section, and magnetizing them with some strong, DAA neodymium cylinder magnets.  We could also have used the larger HS2 for the same demonstration.

The electronic pole identifier can be found here: EPID.  The red and black plastic coated magnet is the handy D68PC-RB magnet.  Find other pole identifying products here.
