Knitted Clothing Simulation

2012-05-22T10:21:00.002+02:00

This one is a biggie, clothing simulation at this level has been complicated to do and involved a lot of trickery. This year's SIGGRAPH paper shows the work of a collaboration of Cem Yuksel, Jonathan M. Kaldor, Doug L. James and Steve Marschner. Their paper describes their way to accurately simulate knitted clothing. Fantastic!

Here some words on the project and some videos, even an implementation in Blender already exists!

FreeD- handheld digital milling with force feedback

2012-02-20T13:18:00.000+01:00

The FreeD is a hand-held, digitally controlled, milling device that is guided and monitored by a computer while still preserving the craftsperson's freedom to sculpt and carve. The computer will intervene only when the milling bit approaches the planned model. Its interaction is either by slowing down the spindle speed or by drawing back the shaft; the rest of the time it allows complete freedom, letting the user to manipulate and shape the work in any creative way.

The idea of the FreeD is to allow designers to engage with the physical material and not just with the CAD environment, and to let them do their interpretations to the virtual model. By that, designers can create something that is one of a kind, unique based on a generic design.

For next christmas I wish an electron accelerator

2012-02-13T17:25:00.004+01:00

Todd Johnson produces "Shockfossils", Lichtenberg figures, that are carved in acrylic by the immense power of a rented electron accelerator. After charching the acrylic it passes the 5 million volt electron accelerator, then the acrylic needs to be hit with a hard object. Immediately after the stroke a discharge happen and builds tiny structures of the electrons traveling through acrylic. He can even cover parts with lead masks to control where the effect happens. The Shockfossils are then mounted on a wooden holder and lit by LED's, a commercial product...

This is just awesome, I'd like to see this process live.

The Pirate Bay gets physical

2012-01-23T18:12:00.000+01:00

You may know the Pirate Bay as torrent site, now the Bay has got a new category Physibles where you can find 3D-data for 3D-printing, or manufacturing.

I think this marks a huge point showing the influence of 3D-Printing and CNC manufacturing in our times. We will see a lot more 3D-printing going on at home, new wars on copyright (Lego's patent just ran out...). People can now construct, share, modify and build their objects of desire, furniture, art, jewelery and thiefs may print their own ATM-skimmer devices...A lot to think about before it hits us full throttle. Bring it on!

Here a quote of the original announcement in their Blog:

Evolution: New category.
We're always trying to foresee the future a bit here at TPB. One of the things that we really know is that we as a society will always share. Digital communication has made that a lot easier and will continue to do so. And after the internets evolutionized data to go from analog to digital, it's time for the next step.
Today most data is born digitally. It's not about the transition from analog to digital anymore. We don't talk about how to rip anything without losing quality since we make perfect 1 to 1 digital copies of things. Music, movies, books, all come from the digital sphere. But we're physical people and we need objects to touch sometimes as well!
We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.
The benefit to society is huge. No more shipping huge amount of products around the world. No more shipping the broken products back. No more child labour. We'll be able to print food for hungry people. We'll be able to share not only a recipe, but the full meal. We'll be able to actually copy that floppy, if we needed one.
We believe that the future of sharing is about physible data. We're thinking of temporarily renaming ourselves to The Product Bay - but we had no graphical artist around to make a logo. In the future, we'll download one.

"Handmade" 3D-printing

EuroMold 2011

2011-11-26T17:57:00.001+01:00

I am currently testing out a Bits From Bytes BFB 3000 3D printer at the ETH raplab and will soon post some pictures, the first tests look very promising.
BFB presents its new 3D printer, the RapMan 3.2 at EuroMold 2011 in Frankfurt, Germany. I'll be there next week to get a glimpse of state of the art 3D printing and machining for product design and form building.

Here a quote from the Bits From Bytes Blog

We’ve given the Rapman a bit of a makeover and can now reveal the latest addition to the RapMan family. It uses a brand new touchscreen user interface and for the first time uses a USB memory stick file transfer, meaning there is no need for additional SD cards anymore. Constructing the RapMan 3.2 has been made simpler too, as it is now entirely solder-free. All in all, we think it’s simpler to operate than ever before.

Starting at £795, it is still one of the most affordable 3D printers on the market and still has low running costs, and relatively fast production time allows more freedom to experiment with your designs .

The Rapman 3.2 will be launched officially to the public at the EuroMold show in Frankfurt, Germany on November 29 - 2 December 2011, where visitors will see it in action and it will be available to buy (while stocks last). If you are attending the show, be sure to come and see us in Hall 11, stand F110.

The RapMan 3.2 3D printer is available now from our website.

Autodesk releases new free 3D Apps: 123D Make and 123D Catch

2011-11-11T14:25:00.001+01:00

Autodesk just released two new free consumer applications under their Autodesk 123D product line. The new releases bring the number of apps in the 123D line to four, following the release of CAD package Autodesk 123D and iPad sculpting app 123D Sculpt earlier this year.

123D Catch

Autodesk 123D Catch: Take photos of your favorite people, places and things and let the power of the cloud magically transform them into detailed 3D models. 123D Catch is free beta software.

123D Catch will be immediately familiar to anyone who has used Project Photofly, the developer’s cloud-based photogrammetry system, released as a technology preview via Autodesk Labs earlier this year – simply because 123 Catch is Photofly, given a new name and wider release.

123D Make

Autodesk 123D Make: Take your 3D model and make it real in a new and amazing way. The Autodesk® 123D™ Make Technology Preview turns any 3D model into a pattern of flat parts that can be cut and assembled into an artful creation. The Autodesk® 123D™ Make Technology Preview is currently available only for Mac OS X. The preview software will expire on 2/28/12.

Nearly every few months new 123D apps are being pushed out for Windows, OSX and iOS devices.
The newest additions are interesting because of the wide distibution they will make, now after the first 123D products have been launched, a bigger userbase will get attention to the new products.

Here some Videos of 123D and 123D Sculpt:

PRESS RELEASE (Excerpts)
Autodesk, Inc. has introduced two exciting offerings in the company’s emerging Autodesk 123D family — Autodesk 123D Catch and Autodesk 123D Make Technology Preview. The offerings enable anyone to quickly and easily capture 3D models from the world around them, and additionally turn 3D models into their own artistic creations. The new technology is further proof that Autodesk is continuing to push boundaries in personal manufacturing, empowering more people to imagine and create things, and share them with others whether for fun, learning or profit.
The Autodesk 123D Catch application — previously codenamed Project Photofly on Autodesk Labs — is a new, public beta release that uses the power of cloud computing to quickly transform digital photos into photorealistic 3D models. Anyone capable of using a point-and-shoot, mobile phone or advanced digital SLR cameras to snap a series of photos of objects, people or scenes can use 123D Catch to generate impressive 3D models. Capturing your own personal avatar or favorite vacation scenes in 3D is now both possible and easy. The app also has built-in sharing capabilities with short movies or animations for viewing on mobile devices, YouTube and other social media channels.
Autodesk 123D Make application is a also a new, free* technology preview for the Mac, capable of converting digital 3D models into 2D cut patterns that can be easily assembled in low-cost materials, such as cardboard, wood, fabric, metal or plastic. The cut pieces come together to create a physical representation of the original digital model.
123D Make enables users to create art, furniture, sculptures or other quick prototypes in order to test how a design will look in real life. Autodesk developed this technology to act as a digital engineer capable of helping individuals create 3D models and, eventually, transform the models into the real thing. 123D Make is designed for creative self-expression or for users that perhaps can’t find what they’re looking for in mass-produced items and decide to make it on their own.
The Autodesk 123D family also includes the Autodesk 123D desktop application, enabling makers to bring ideas to life by designing highly precise and makeable objects. The Autodesk 123D Sculpt free* app is for sculpting and painting 3D creations on the iPad. Inventors, tinkerers, artists, entrepreneurs, and arts and crafts enthusiasts can use the Autodesk 123D portfolio on a variety of platforms and devices, with access to content, Autodesk fabrication partners and social connections at a single destination.

3D Printed Giant Robotic Jumping Spider

2011-11-03T19:45:00.001+01:00

A Team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation in Germany 3D printed a really big robotic spider, the legs are 20 centimeters long each and the body adds another 20 cm, together it is about 0.6 meters...

It can jump and crawl with sophiosticated hydraulics like a real spider. The Body contains a control unit and multiple sensors. Its purpose is "an exploratory tool in environments that are too hazardous for humans."

The special aspect of this high-tech helper: not only very light, it also combines rigid and elastic shapes in a single component; with just a few production steps, it can also be produced at low cost. To date, designs such as the mobile robot have been generated using conventional mechanical-engineering technologies – a time-consuming and costly undertaking. Researchers at IPA, on the other hand, rely on generative production technologies, and specifically on selective laser sintering (SLS) of plastics, a 3-D printing process. In this process, step by step thin layers of a fine polyamide powder are applied one at a time and melted in place with the aid of a laser beam. This way, complex geometries, inner structures and lightweight components can be produced – with structures optimized much as if produced by Nature herself. The experts at IPA have a great deal of latitude in the design of their mobile robot; the leg modules, for instance, can be designed with infinitely variable load-bearing characteristics.
“We can use SLS to produce one or even several legs in a single operation; this minimizes assembly effort, saves materials and reduces the time it takes to build a robot. With the modular approach, individual parts can be quickly swapped as well. Our robot is so cheap to produce that it can be discarded after being used just once – like a disposable rubber glove,“ Becker points out. A prototype of the robot can be seen at the EuroMold 2011 trade fair in Frankfurt, at the joint stand of the Fraunhofer-Gemeinschaft (Hall 11, Stand C66), from November 29 through December 2.

Starting a new era in my life

2011-10-31T19:59:00.001+01:00

Tomorrow, 1.11.2011 (What a nice starting day) I start my new job at ETH Zürich in the rapid architecture prototyping laboratory, raplab.

At raplab I work in a field that comes natural with my interest in 3D; 3D prototyping, milling, lasercutting, vacuum pressing and whatnot... I help architecture students to transform their ideas in to reality (physical models). Expect to see a lot of information on this topic as well in this blog. Combined with my 3D software experience I think I have to pay attention not to become a mad scientist, hmmmuahahaaa

For 3 days in the week I work in Zürich and the rest of the week is still reserved for my work at mediagenerator. This involves slight changes in business, now you reach me best by e-mail and mobile phone, I report back quickly as you are already accustomed from me.

Rock on!

Kinect for Windows SDK Beta is out!

2011-10-31T16:15:00.001+01:00

There was a lot of rumoring going on and some hot previews of what Microsoft Kinect developers are producing with the new Kinect SDK for Windows.

Now Microsoft released the (noncommercial!) Kinect SDK for Windows Beta version.

It runs under Windows 7 and Microsoft has not commented on the compatibility for the upcoming Windows 8.

Microsoft stated that in early 2012, the Kinect SDK can be used by any company to create commercial applications for Windows. There are already 200 companies (Razorfish, Toyota..) involved as part of a pilot program.

The Kinect for Windows SDK beta includes drivers, rich APIs for raw sensor streams and human motion tracking, installation documents, and resource materials. It provides Kinect capabilities to developers who build applications with C++, C#, or Visual Basic by using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010.

This SDK includes the following features:

Raw sensor streams
Access to raw data streams from the depth sensor, color camera sensor, and four-element microphone array enables developers to build upon the low-level streams that are generated by the Kinect sensor.
Skeletal tracking
The capability to track the skeleton image of one or two people moving within the Kinect field of view make it easy to create gesture-driven applications.
Advanced audio capabilities
Audio processing capabilities include sophisticated acoustic noise suppression and echo cancellation, beam formation to identify the current sound source, and integration with the Windows speech recognition API.
Sample code and documentation
The SDK includes more than 100 pages of technical documentation. In addition to built-in help files, the documentation includes detailed walkthroughs for most samples provided with the SDK.
Easy installation
The SDK installs quickly, requires no complex configuration, and the complete installer size is less than 100 MB. Developers can get up and running in just a few minutes with a standard standalone Kinect sensor unit (widely available at retail outlets).

This SDK is designed for non-commercial purposes only; a commercial version is expected to be available at a later date.

Check out the feature list and the projects gallery

World-Class Arena Printed in 3D

2011-10-31T15:21:00.000+01:00

Swedish creative studio WE DO used Z Corp's 3D printing technology to create this stunningly detailed 3D architectural model that helps promote Stockholmsarenan until the 30,000-seat sports and entertainment arena is completed in 2013.

Virtually every detail in the architects’ 3D digital model of the arena is represented in the physical model, a cross-section that includes 7,400 highly detailed seats, each 4 mm wide

Stockholmsarenan is a monument to world-class sports and entertainment, activities that can stir passion like few others, according to Patrik Lindberg, owner of WE DO, based in Stockholm.

"Until the arena is complete, this ZPrinted model is helping generate the excitement for the arena, helping the owner and operator rent the space, sell seat licenses, plan events and entice sponsors – in other words, make the business a success,” says Lindberg.

The 1.2-meter-by-1.2-meter model is the centerpiece of an information pavilion offering a multimedia experience of the project. Both the architect and prospective patrons are ‟blown away” by the piece, said Lindberg.

Lindberg, a trained industrial designer, uses ZPrinting constantly to create product prototypes for design clients and models for architects. Although Stockholmsarenan was ZPrinted in classic architectural white, clients are increasignly asking for color, according to Lindberg.

‟Companies are becoming enlightened on the possibilities for rapid prototyping,” he said. ‟Color, in addition to speed and cost, are why we selected the ZPrinter.”

Sculpting.de Forum is back!

2011-10-30T20:50:00.001+01:00

Here a hint for former users of the sculpting.de forum:

Hello Sculpting friends.

Today Sculpting restarts, with a new team.
For now in Beta status.
This is unfortunately necessary, because we could only aquire the forum
uncomplete, a previous conversion of the forum software causes a complete
image loss, the same problem happens with your avatars.
Thats why we restart nearly from scratch.
But there is also a positiv effect.
The forum is completely cleaned and in its original condition, ecxept the
pictures.
We have changed many things. But take a look by yourself.  www.sculpting.de

Please read the announcements at the beginning.

Your Sculpting Admin Team.

--> Read on for the german version

Hallo Sculpting Freunde.

Heute startet Sculpting wieder, mit einem neuen Team. 
Vorerst in der Beta Phase.
Die ist leider notwendig geworden weil wir Sculpting nur noch unvollständign übernehmen konnten.
Auf Grund einer früheren Konvertierung sind ALLE Bilderlinks unbrauchbar
geworden, das Gleiche gilt für die Avatare in euren Profilen.
Das kommt fast einem Neustart gleich.
Allerdings kann man das auch positiv sehen, den Sculpting ist 2010 sehr
stark unter die Räder gekommen, Spambots hatten das gesamte Forum infiziert und ihren üblen Dreck abgeladen. 
Dies ist nun alles bereinigt und das Forum ist wieder, was die Beiträge
betrifft, im Urzustand.
Es gibt auch diverse Änderungen. Doch dazu mehr unter www.sculpting.de

Bitte lest zu Anfang die Announcements.

Euer Sculpting Admin Team

Gruß Seeda.

Roland Introduces iModela iM-01

2011-10-30T12:07:00.001+01:00

Roland just introduced a small 3 axis mill for craft and hobby markets. They call it 3D milling, ok, it's legit but just a fancy new word for a 3 axis mill. I have seen other articles calling this mill a 3D printer...

I really like the concept of having a small desktop mill to rapid prototype small objects or to have kids playing and learning with the mill. The pricing is set to around $1000, i don't know any similar mill in this price range.

Get some more information on the Roland Website

Here the feature list:

Precisely mills 3D shapes, patterns and designs out of foam, wax, balsa wood and plastic
iModela Creator, Roland’s 3D design software, is included, allowing users to accurately mill shapes, holes, textures and patterns right out of the box
Affordable, easy-to-use platform for exploring creativity
Easy to setup and operate, with just a power switch, simple LED display and external control panel for adjusting computer settings
Compact, desktop device stores in a dedicated carrying case and travels easily
A specially designed spindle motor unit supports a variety of milling tools commonly available at model shops and do-it-yourself (DIY) retailers
iModela artists can share projects and learn from others around the world by joining an online community

3D-projection on a car surface

2011-10-26T14:27:00.002+02:00

You may know already that 3D-projections on buildings are fun. Compared to what Glue Isobar and Igloo did for Toyota, producing building projections is a piece of cake.

Using cutting edge 3D-projection technique they projected animations on a real car using 7 projectors, a very detailed 3D-car model, a lot of tea and brainwork. Kudos!

Wacom Inkling: Sketch on paper and transfer to PC

2011-08-31T11:35:00.003+02:00

Wacom did it again, sketch on paper and transfer to PC as raster or vector data. Not that the idea is new but the execution is flawless.

Wacom's new product the "Inkling" does not need special paper or ink to take track of your sketching/writing, it uses a little box and a pen containing a standard 1mm ballpoint reservoir that communicates via infra-red and ultrasonic transmission data.

The Inkling accepts any paper in sizes from A7 to A4 and gives you also 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity. One other great feature is the capability of creating layers on the fly. Imagine designing a car, while sketching you can create a new virtual layer for wheels, body and what not...

We do a lot of sketching to keep ideas and concepts, then we decide to throw stuff out or develop further on specific drawings. The Inkling gives us the possibility to store our work, review it in the Inkling management software then output it as raster or vector data to work on it in Photoshop/Illustrator/Autodesk Sketchbook...there you can use the vector data to refine your work. You even can play back your sketch in a timeline and select a new starting point of your sketch, Wow!

For a price of around 160 Euros it's a no brainer. Inkling will be released mid September.

Key features

Enhance your professional workflow by capturing digital data while sketching with a ball-pen on normal paper
The ink sketch can be structured in layers while drawing – no need to recreate layers in software
1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity for natural pen strokes
Store hundreds of high resolution sketches on the receiver before transferring to your PC or Mac
Save time and export your sketches with layers directly into Adobe® Photoshop® or Illustrator® (CS3 or higher), or Autodesk® SketchBook® Pro or SketchBook® Designer (2011 or higher) as vector graphics
Be versatile by saving your sketches in the following formats: JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNG, SVG and PDF

With this Blender Addon it is possible to make good use of freehand curves that you can turn into a surface with options for the divisions you want to have.

But see for yourself:

Bsurfaces will have a pay-per-copy period and then will be turned into GPL. You can donate or buy the addon here for $39.

First steps with Kinect and Motionbuilder

2011-07-16T16:19:00.001+02:00

I got a Kinect for my Birthday, yesterday I set it and made some research stuff in Openframeworks, Cinder and Processing. Since it was a bit of trouble finding out which drivers and libraries to use on Windows I had to fresh up my brain and tried the Kinect with Motionbuilder.

I used Jasper Brekelmans fantastic Brekel Kinect as device in Motionbuilder. Of course I had other drivers installed (Freenect) that I had to get rid off first, after that everything went very straightforward. Here a quick'n dirty video I made after a half hour of dancing and playing around:

First you calibrate the Kinect in Brekel Kinect so that it recognizes your skeleton, then you open Motionbuilder, add the Brekel Device, add a character, connect them and push record in Live mode, done.

You can filter the motion in Motionbuilder and take care of the FCurves to minimize jittering.

You won't get professional quality out of it but I think it has got its applications. For example you can make "quickpose" records that you can use as base in your animations.

I am planing a second part of the Ameisia short and will use some Kinect mocap for some spaceship scenes where the character sits. Maybe also for more...anyway it is fun to play around.
