"Galo do Barcelos" modeled in Clayoo

Pedro Loureiro of TDM Solutions has won a 3D design contest at the Lisboa Design Show ’13. The awarded design consists of a 3D puzzle of the Portuguese “Galo do Barcelos”. The design has been modeled in Clayoo, rendered in V-Ray, animated in Bongo and finally 3D printed by BeeVeryCreative.

RhinoProto - The Rhino / DeskProto combination

RhinoProto: The integration of Rhino CAD and DeskProto CAM makes the process easier.

An exceptional value for your money can be obtained by combining the Rhino CAD software and the DeskProto CAM software. Rhino is a well known 3D CAD program offering NURBS modeling for Windows. The program matches well with DeskProto, as both programs share the same ideas about ease-of-use and low cost.

Note that DeskProto can be combined with any 3D CAD program, as all these programs offer STL export. Rhino is the only program offering this easy integration though.

For many DeskProto users Rhino will be interesting as companion software with their current CAD system. DeskPro makes prototyping easy and affordable. Many CAM packages are available: DeskProto differs as it has been created for designers instead of for mold makers. Only those parameters are available that are absolutely needed for prototyping, so the number of choices is limited and the software is easy to learn.

Project Egg by Michiel van der Kley

Michiel van der Kley is starting one of the largest 3D printing projects to date:

Project Egg is a large space (5 x 4 x 3 meters) that is consisting of 4760 unique 'stones'. The space, the 'Egg', is entirely built in Rhino and Grasshopper.

Project Egg is also about co-creating. We are asking all people that sympathize with the project and possess a 3D printer to print us a stone. This way it will also be a community project. People that do not own a 3D printer but like the project are invited to adopt a stone and thus be apart of the project as well. The outcome of project Egg is to be shown in Milan, during the Furniture Fair in April 2014.

Biodigital Architecture Master in Barcelona

The registration period for the Biodigital Architecture Official Master will end shortly. Come to Barcelona and see what new architecture looks like.

The UIC Master’s Degree Programme in Biodigital Architecture was created in 2000 as a pioneering postgraduate programme, the first that treated architecture from the biological and digital perspectives, and the first to provide systematic studios, workshops and seminars with the founders of digital organism, the new cutting edge of the 21st century. Within the context of the research line on genetic architectures at the ESARQ School of Architecture, students will pay special attention to new cybernetic-digital and new ecologic-environmental architectural design as a way of developing biodigital architecture, emergence, genetic and generative concepts in the biological and digital worlds, biomimesis, biolearning, morphogenesis, etc. Students will also experiment with genetic-driven software, evolutionary processes, emerging systems, algorithms, parametrics, scripting, etc.

New technologies have given us new production possibilities (Data-Driven Production, CNC machines, 3D printers) that lead to new formulations of non-standard architecture based on genetic principles (variation, mutation, hybridization): New architecture for new possibilities.

ROB|ARCH 2014 registration now open!

ROB|ARCH has been initiated by the Association for Robots in Architecture as a new conference series on robotic fabrication in architecture, art, and design, closely linking industry with cutting-edge research institutions. In December 2012 the conference was hosted by its founders in Vienna, Austria. In 2014 the conference travels to North America, hosted by the University of Michigan Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

Continuing with the previous theme of collaboration, the conference seeks to bring together artists, designers, fabricators, and industry leaders to advance the discourse surrounding robotic fabrication. Following the success of Rob|Arch 2012, the conference will again present a series of workshops held at select research institutions on the East Coast of the United States, aimed at exposing the advanced capabilities of applied robotics research. Following the workshops, the conference will span two days at the University of Michigan Campus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, about an hour outside of Detroit, the origin of robotics in North America. The internationally renowned publishing house Springer Wien/New York will publish and market the conference proceedings worldwide.

Registration for workshops and conference is now open with early pricing: http://www.robarch2014.org/registration

GE Jet Engine Bracket Challenge

General Electric just announced the ten finalists for the GE Jet Engine Bracket Challenge.

The contest took place on Grabad.com, the famous online 3D models archive and had a key point of 3D printing technology.

Among the ten finalists there is a project entirely modeled in Rhino by Andreas Anedda and CorsiRhino.it support. They experiment in a new way of modeling in Rhino: a basic mesh was relaxed with Grasshopper and Kangaroo to obtain a fluent shape. After this first step, T-Splines was used again to edit the mesh and reinforce the bracket, creating several rims and cavity to get a stronger and lighter structure similar to a bone. Using these tools, they were able to design a bracket capable of distributing the stress in a very efficient way, creating a complex shape in a relatively short time.
