Description : 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 . By using innovative extrusion technology we are now able to neutralize the effect of gravity during the course of the printing process. This method gives us a flexibility to create truly natural objects by making 3D curves instead of 2D layers. Unlike 2D layers that are ignorant to the structure of the object, the 3D curves can follow exact stress lines of a custom shape. Finally, our new out of the box printing method can help manufacture structures of almost any size and shape.

1ucasvb:

A 5-pointed star’s “sine” and “cosine” functions

Based on the same principle as the polygonal trigonometric functions.

This was requested a few times, but I had to figure how to draw polar stars first. Finally got around to it.

I won’t be updating the sound generator. Sorry.

Description :

FABBOTS research agenda is based on the following principles:

They will not assemble different materials; instead they will code devices to generate multi-material complex matter formations that have variable physical properties. Programming matter will give us the ability to construct architectural components that are multi-functional and optimized.

They will not fabricate using conventional CNC tools in a lab; instead they will customize our own programmable devices and propose alternative fabrication processes that can be deployed on site. In this scenario, they shall pay special attention to our environment and explore how these devices may be powered by renewable energies and/or use locally available materials. Their devices, rather than follow pre-established instructions, will have the ability to sense varying conditions and adapt to change responding accordingly.

They will not depart from a given design and follow file-to-factory methods; designs will emerge from codes that account for material behavior and machinic logics, and be constantly actualized with real-time fabrication data extracted from artificial vision tools. The resulting construction will merge both the original source code, and the necessary adjustments to the forces that may have affected the process of fabrication. Their designs will not be pre-conceived and modeled upfront; instead design will emerge from computational methods for optimization, considering evolutionary principles.

They will virtually simulate material and machinic behavior, to understand the optimal conditions by which a design may emerge from our customized process of formation. Their inventions ought to be available to many; they must be user-friendly, easy and cheap to reproduce in several places of our planet, so we can promote their application in communities that have limited access to education and technology.
