In a galaxy not that far away, there lives a young aspiring mechanical engineer named Daniel Olson who used his wits, skills, and a little inspiration from his dad to create a motorized Star Wars AT-AT. “For a while I had wanted to make some sort of mechanical walking mechanism,” Olson said. After printing different gears, it gave…
Colors have a fascinating way of bringing just about anything to life. Jason Powell, a student from Columbia University is capable of combining twelve different colors to create and design simple yet inspiring 3D models. Taking a DIY approach to 3D printing, Powell redesigned his Rostock Max to print multi-colored pieces such as the multi-colored vases…
Personal fabrication is currently a one-way process: Once an object has been fabricated with a 3D printer, it cannot be changed anymore; any change requires printing a new version from scratch. In this paper, we propose a different approach: instead of re-printing the entire object from scratch, we suggest patching the existing object and replacing…
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside Bourns College of Engineering found zebrafish embryos die at alarming rates when exposed to certain 3D printed materials. The question that many public safety services may have after the result is the proper method in disposing waster materials from 3D printers. What do you think about the safety…
