Vacuum Forming Rig
stechi

 I wanted to produce a vacuum forming machine that would allow me to do small parts, just for experimenting. I wanted to go for a self-contained unit with its own heater and vacuum pump. I know you can do a lot with an oven and vacuum cleaner, but my challenge was to do something neater than that, a self-contained machine.
I won’t go into how vac forming works, because there are plenty of explanations on the internet. But the main concerns are to hold the plastic sheet, to heat it, to hold it on an airtight moulding table (platen) and to reduce the air pressure to make the moulding. In short, the heater softens the plastic sheet that is held in the frame. Then the frame is lowered onto the platen, where the object is. The vacuum pump underneath then draws out the air under the sheet so that the plastic forms the shape of the object; it cools and the job is done.

Engineering the "Swiss-army knife of robots"
Kristin Hanson

The Cohen Translational Engineering Fund is helping promising startups like READY Robotics bring their innovative technologies to market as quickly as possible
...
"The Cohen funding allowed us to see how our product would solve problems in real-time, and how it could provide value, rather than just existing in the lab as a research toy," Guerin says.
Now READY Robotics' president and chief technical officer, Guerin calls the startup's product, TaskMate, the "Swiss-army knife of robots."

The company installs its software in a pre-made robot, making the machine easy to program and adjust — similar to how Microsoft made personal computing accessible to non-programmers with software like DOS and Windows. Once trained in the system, users can switch the tasks their robot performs in minutes or hours instead of days or weeks and cut out the cost of an outside programmer.
After using the Cohen grant to build and test a READY Robotics prototype, the technology earned a $100,000 Maryland Innovation Initiative grant from TEDCO — the Maryland Technology Development Corporation — and then raised $3.75 million in seed funding. Since opening for business officially June 2016, READY Robotics has grown to house 12 employees in its South Baltimore office, and Guerin and his team have kept busy testing prototypes with manufacturers and attracting more investors and customers.

Your Guide To Making Electronics Project Boxes

DJ Harrigan

Introduction To Electronics Project Boxes
 

You’ve just made something great: It blinks, it whirrs, it speaks in tones, it’s voiced-controlled and it’s “cloud connected” (of course). And now this assembled heap of your own design is waiting on your desk for the final touch. If you want to keep your electronic creation alive for years to come, and draw fewer eyes as you ferry it through airport security, you’ll want to make a robust electronics project box to house and protect it.
The benefits of a small electronics case are clear: Your project will last longer, work more reliably and demonstrate a detailed attitude about showing off your work. It’s time to think outside the box when it comes to thinking about the insides of boxes.
But where to start? Where to finish? This post will guide you through the many different kinds of materials, joinery and aesthetic options for your electronics project enclosure.

$1 Inflatable Sander Replacement DIY

johnzhu

Inflatable sanders are problematic, leakage being a problem with anything full of air. I decided to make a replacement from a piece of dowel, some velcro, and a bolt. The cost is less than $1. I really like the resulting round sander, and I hope you find it useful too.

Build a Toaster Oven Mini-Vacuum Former

I needed a mini vacuum former for smaller pieces and for the leftover scrap plastic from the big former. This was a weekend project and it makes great pulls.

DIY Hot Wire Cutter for Plexiglass, Cardboard and FoamRCLifeOn
This Instructable will demonstrate how you can build your own hot wire cutter, able to slice through foam, cardboard and even plexiglass!
A hot wire cutter works by a wire, often nichrome or in my case kanthal wire, which is heated via electrical resistance. As the wire reach high temperatures it slices through materials by melting it just in advance of contact.
