The Printer That Can Print A 2,500 Square Foot House In 20 Hours.

The Printer That Can Print A 2,500 Square Foot House In 20 Hours.
We have seen huge advancements in 3D printing. We’ve even seen oversized wrenches printed that measure 1.2 meters in length. Now, we can print an entire 2,500 sqft house in 20 hours. In the TED Talk video below, Behrokh Khoshnevis, a professor of Industrial & Systems Engineering at the University of Southern California (USC), demonstrates automated construction, using 3D printers to build an entire house in 20 hours. In manufacturing we use a process called CAD/CAM (computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing). 3D models are designed on a computer and then manufactured using CNC Machines or 3D printers. In this video, we see a prototype of a machine called ‘Contour Crafting’ Michael Cooney Michael Cooney, the founder of EngNet, worked as a project engineer for many years sourcing equipment.

My Region - 3-D printer by Sask. man gets record crowdsourced cash A Saskatchewan man who has developed an affordable 3D printer has attracted worldwide attention and more than $700,000 in crowdsourced funding. Rylan Grayston, 28, from Yorkton, said curiosity fuelled his quest to create a 3D copier that sells for just $100. Other high-tech 3D printers sell for several thousand dollars or more. "I didn't have enough money for a 3D printer that I wanted, so I just started thinking about how can I do this myself?" "All I want to do is invent," Grayston said about the possible riches associated with an affordable 3D printer. How exactly does 3D printing work? Although Grayston has no formal training in engineering or computer science, he has been a tinkerer all his life. Rylan Grayston has developed an affordable 3-D printing machine. Grayston's software converts an object into file data using a sound card on his laptop. Unlike other more expensive devices, Grayston's Peachy Printer has no motors or microprocessors.

Nanoscribe Will Sell a Micro 3-D Printer That Creates Tiny Structures in Seconds Nanoscribe, a spin-off from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, has developed a tabletop 3-D microprinter that can create complicated microstructures 100 times faster than is possible today. “If something took one hour to make, it now takes less than one minute,” says Michael Thiel, chief scientific officer at Nanoscribe. While 3-D printing of toys, iPhone covers, and jewelry continues to grab headlines (see “The Difference Between Makers and Manufacturers”), much of 3-D printing’s impact could be at a much smaller scale. Micrometer-scale printing has shown promise for making medical and electronic devices. Thiel says it should be possible to speed up his company’s microprinting technique even more in the future. Printing microstructures with features a few hundred nanometers in size could be useful for making heart stents, microneedles for painless shots, gecko adhesives, parts for microfluidics chips, and scaffolds for growing cells and tissue.

ICC: Support Justice, Reject Immunity Member countries of the International Criminal Court (ICC) should reject efforts to provide immunity from prosecution to sitting government leaders, Human Rights Watch said today. The court’s 122 member countries are expected to take part in the annual session of the Assembly of States Parties, which begins on November 20, 2013, in The Hague. At the request of the African Union (AU), a special segment of the meeting will discuss the indictment of heads of state in office and its impact on peace and stability. In October the AU called for immunity from prosecution for sitting national leaders, and for the suspension of the ICC’s cases against President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto of Kenya. On November 14, an AU-endorsed request to suspend the cases against Kenyatta and Ruto failed to obtain enough votes in the United Nations Security Council for passage. The court’s jurisdiction over alleged international crimes may be triggered in one of three ways.

Multi-camera real-time three-dimensional tracking of multiple flying animals Abstract Automated tracking of animal movement allows analyses that would not otherwise be possible by providing great quantities of data. The additional capability of tracking in real time—with minimal latency—opens up the experimental possibility of manipulating sensory feedback, thus allowing detailed explorations of the neural basis for control of behaviour. Here, we describe a system capable of tracking the three-dimensional position and body orientation of animals such as flies and birds. The system operates with less than 40 ms latency and can track multiple animals simultaneously. To achieve these results, a multi-target tracking algorithm was developed based on the extended Kalman filter and the nearest neighbour standard filter data association algorithm. 1. Our primary innovation is the use of arbitrary numbers of inexpensive cameras for markerless, real-time tracking of multiple targets. Flydra is largely composed of standard algorithms, hardware and software. 1.1. |𝒵1:t).

Vader Systems invente l'imprimante 3D métal à destination du grand public Du fait d’une température de fusion bien supérieure au plastique (de 600°C pour l’aluminium jusqu’à 1000°C pour l’or), la possibilité d’offrir aux particuliers une imprimante 3D à base de métal restait en suspens. La société Vader Systems, créée par le père Scott et le fils Zach Vader, pourrait bien mettre un terme aux doutes qui subsistaient. La technologie utilisée par Vader Systems, dénommée « Liquid Metal Jet Printing » (impression par jet de métal liquide), est une version détournée de l’impression par jet d’encre, bien connue des imprimantes 2D. Des minuscules gouttes de métal sont déposées sur une plateforme, suivant un tracé préalablement spécifié. Comme pour chaque technologie d’impression, l’objet 3D est alors construit par une succession de couche de matière, et dans ce cas précis, de métal. En changeant la taille de l’orifice des buses d’impression, la machine peut alors distribuer des gouttelettes de métal fusionné de l’ordre de 100 à 1000 microns.

Conservatives erase Internet history - Public Sector IT The Conservative Party has attempted to erase a 10-year backlog of speeches from the internet, including pledges for a new kind of transparent politics the prime minister and chancellor made when they were campaigning for election. Prime minister David Cameron and chancellor George Osborne campaigned on a promise to democratise information held by those in power, so people could hold them to account. They wanted to use the internet transform politics. But the Conservative Party has removed the archive from its public facing website, erasing records of speeches and press releases going back to the year 2000 and up until it was elected in May 2010. It also struck the record of their past speeches off internet engines including Google, which had been a role model for Cameron and Osborne's "open source politics". Sometime after 5 October, when Computer Weekly last took a snapshot of a Conservative speech from the Internet Archive, the Tory speech and news archive was eradicated.

Voici l'imprimante 3D qu'utilisera la NASA à bord de l'ISS L’agence spatiale américaine vient ainsi de présenter l’imprimante 3D capable d’imprimer en état d’apesanteur qui devrait prendre le chemin de l’ISS en juin 2014. C’est à bord du cinquième ravitaillement de l’ISS par la société Space X, et donc à bord de la capsule Dragon que sera envoyée l’imprimante accompagnée d’un stock de consommables et de fret scientifique et alimentaire. Pour présenter son projet, la NASA vient de publier une vidéo mettant en avant à la fois l’imprimante et comment les astronautes à bord de la station spatiale internationale l’utiliseront. La capacité à fabriquer son propre équipement ou des pièces de rechange directement dans la station permettra à la NASA d’économiser à la fois du temps et de l’argent : " Comme vous pouvez l’imaginer dans la station spatiale, les astronautes doivent faire avec ce qu’ils ont." " Malheureusement, comme sur Terre, certaines pièces cassent ou se perdent."

Drink This! Cup Show 2014 Photos » Workhouse Ceramics Drink This! Workhouse International Ceramic Cup Show 2014 Drink This! 2014 showcases ceramic drinking vessels by contemporary artists around the globe. The focus of the exhibit is on the variety of ways artists explore the cup, in functional, sculptural, traditional and non-traditional forms. Thank you! Pam Eisenmann- Co-CuratorJoan Ulrich- Co-CuratorDale Marhanka-Ceramics Director Cups are probably one of the most unassuming, yet challenging forms to make. Potters seem to be quite particular about what they like about cups and why. I was so inspired to see such a diverse range of cup forms, surfaces, decoration and building processes. Each of us will have different visceral reactions to different pots based on our own personal histories.

Fire Update: Lost Many Cameras, 20 Boxes. No One Hurt. | Internet Archive Blogs Scanning Center with Fire Damage to Left of Main Building As fires go, we were lucky. We are still assessing what happened but this is where we stand: * No one was hurt. * Lost a 130 sq meter side-building (1300 sq feet) that held scanning equipment. * We lost maybe 20 boxes of books and film, some irreplaceable, most already digitized, and some replaceable. * We do not know the cause, but there is no evidence of foul play. * An outpouring of support has lead to over 1500 donations totaling over $60,000 in the first 2 days. * No servers were affected. * All employees of the scanning center were back scanning again, using repurposed equipment, within 48 hours. * Despite the fire, we were able to hold a pre-planned event celebrating the birthday of Aaron Swartz 3 days after the fire. All in all we were lucky, and we are very thankful for the support from everyone. Lets keep making copies– a key towards preservation and access. Thank you, all.
