01 is world’s first dimensioning instrument. Elegantly capture dimensions and 3D curves of any object. InstruMMents is an innovation company rethinking essential tools. Carved in aluminum, and contained within a pen, pencil or stylus, it is both a serious writing instrument and a to-go dimensioning instrument.
This work presents a computational method of 3D printing hair structures. It allows us to design and generate hair geometry at 50 micrometer resolution and assign various functionalities to the hair. The ability to fabricate customized hair structures enables us to create super fine surface texture; mechanical adhesion property; new passive actuators and touch sensors on a 3D printed artifact.
Product designer Oscar Lhermitte with design studio Kudu are releasing the first topographically accurate lunar globe on Kickstarter. The project involves the use of the latest data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter combined with advanced electronic and mechanical engineering alongside careful craftsmanship in mold making.
“Marble quarries are places so unbelievable and striking, they almost feel like they are big theaters or sets,” says Yuri Ancarani
Every year 1.2 million people die worldwide in traffic-related incidents, and over 90% of those accidents are due to human error. The Google self-driving car team hopes to improve people’s lives by developing fully self-driving technology that can improve road safety and make it easier for people to get around.
Built according to the traditions of the art of engineering. The Leica T-System is the world’s first camera with a body made completely of aluminium. Leica subtracted the superfluous and reduced what remained to the essentials.
The Onyx Sofa designed by Peugeot Design Lab is a 3-meter long seat made of carbon fibre and Volvic volcanic lava stone. It is the first in a line of made to measure furniture.
It’s a work in process project that aims to create an affordable multiple axis 3D printing tool available for consumers and profesional workshops around the world.
Moss FM is the World’s first plant-powered radio. This is made possible thanks to Photo Microbial Fuel Cells (Photo-MFCs), which harness and convert electrons produced by plants during photosynthesis. Moss tufts are essentially used as biological solar panels in this emerging biophilic technology.
Today, robots can shape pipes however one wishes—and Austrian designer Thomas Feichtner, together with Thonet and tube bending machine manufacturer BLM, has set out to explore the limits of present-day bending technology.
The Mac Pro is a computer unlike any Apple has ever created. To build it, they pioneered new processes, innovated manufacturing techniques, and essentially rethought how to make a computer.
MATAERIAL – a brand new method of additive manufacturing. This patent-pending method allows for creating 3D objects on any given working surface independently of its inclination and smoothness, and without a need of additional support structures. Conventional methods of additive manufacturing have been affected both by gravity and printing environment: creation of 3D objects on irregular, or non-horizontal surfaces has so far been treated as impossible.
Since 1990 he has been occupied creating new forms of life. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. He makes skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat.
A public artefact focusing and directing electrical energy from lightning strikes. When struck the seven-meter high system sends a current down an arranged set of stainless steel forks drilled into a large piece of wood.
FabClay is project based on the idea of robotic additive manufacturing fabrication, innovative materials and computational tools. Through digital design process we are able to make complex shapes by simple rules that are emerging from mechanic performance and material’s possibility.
New urban movement: The ebike is another idea from smart for electric mobility on two wheels with no local emissions.
Learn how ExoGrid bicycles from Holland Cycles transform what you know about custom bike frames. Hand Crafted precision meets cutting edge technology producing the perfection you deserve.ExoGrid® technology combines the best attributes of advanced composites with those of traditional metals
Public transportation has become part of the urban culture. Having increased in efficiency throughout the years, the service now calls for an added dimension, the extraordinary within the ordinary.Cycle™ subscribes to this new approach where travelling is increased in accessibility, efficiency, enjoyability and therefore becomes an experience for the senses.
RoCoCo focuses on machines for drawing and painting using the state of the art SCI-Arc Robotics and Simulation Lab and purpose built Maya interface ‘esperant.0’
“The old Orpheus played his Lyre so beautifully, that he did not only delight the ancient gods, but also made stones melt away. He would have found great joy in a collaboration of a designer and a musician together with craftsmen, sound engineers and interface designers, bringing their talents together to create a synesthetic as well as synergetic happening.”
The Bend is a modern electric moped which offers urban dwellers the riding experience of a motorcycle with the ownership experience of a bicycle. With the Bend we looked to revitalize the moped with a modern electric drivetrain and materials, while still evoking the style and emotion of the past.
A massive amount of effort and innovation has gone into their new line of Freeride Series skis. Watch the video here as they take you through all of the the crucial steps from CAD design to prototyping to field testing to manufacturing to quality assurance testing.
Toyota reached out to Parlee Cycles and Deeplocal to build an aero road bike infused with the same innovation that went into the design of the Prius.
