Cardboard Layering Tools

Autodesk offers a free online software specifically designed for building layered cardboard prototypes. It’s called Autodesk 123D Make and is fully free.

Layering cardboard requires good cutting tools and good glue. I compare below some of the most popular glues for cardboard and detail which one will fit best for your project.

Tools at a glance:

• Autodesk 123D Make has been conceived to create this types of cut and stack designs. It’s free and run directly in the browser.
• Best glue for large parts: Aleene Original
• Best glue for small parts: Elmer or Sticky Ass Glue

Build your own Arduino-powered desktop 3D scanner with infinite resolution for just $50

Jan 28, 2016 | By Benedict

Think it’s possible to build a desktop 3D scanner with infinite resolution for just $50? Instructables guru Whitney Potter has done just that, using a Nikon DSLR and an Arduino-powered stepper motor. To capture its high-res scans, Potter’s systems uses photogrammetry—a method of constructing 3D images from a set of partially overlapping 2D photographs. The impressive results have to be seen to be believed.

Naturally, the main caveat of the “3D scanner for $50” claim is its assumption of prior DSLR ownership. Builders of the budget scanner will need their own high quality digital camera—unlikely to be found within that strict budget! Once that small condition is met, however, the process becomes extremely wallet-friendly. The principle of Potter’s system is simple: Why buy a dedicated 3D scanner when, with the right manipulation, your high quality digital camera is capable of producing superior results, and on subjects of all sizes?

The main obstacles faced during photogrammetry are photograph quality and spacing. Each photo must be perfectly focused and exposed, and must be spaced around the object to capture its every feature. There must be sufficient overlap between photos so the rendering software knows where each shot belongs. Getting this spacing right can be achieved with some practice on large subjects, but is incredibly difficult with small objects. This is where Potter’s Arduino-powered stepper motor comes in.

The DIY 3D scanner uses a stepper motor controlled by an Arduino board to turn the scanned object by a fixed amount, before an LED triggers the camera’s wireless sensor, setting off the shutter. This process is repeated until photos have been collected from all angles, allowing one’s photogrammetry software to construct an accurate and high resolution 3D image of the subject. There are just five key ingredients to the budget 3D scanner: Arduino, stepper motor driver, stepper motor, IR LED and LCD shield.

Although Potter’s Arduino sketch has been configured to work with Nikon DSLRs, owners of other brands can simply alter a section of the code to suit their own model. Potter has used Sebastian Setz’s Multi Camera IR Control library, so the scanner will work with virtually any brand of camera with an IR remote. When the code is in place, the subject needs to be well-lit so the camera can capture all of its precise details. The captured set of photos can then be processed using photogrammetry software. Potter recommends Agisoft Photoscan ($180), Autodesk Memento or Autodesk 123D Catch (budget option).

Potter’s handy guide demonstrates an innovative method for 3D scanning on a budget—using resources at most people’s disposal. Could DIY photogrammetry be the future of desktop 3D scanning? Watch out, 3D scanner manufacturers!

Royal Academy of Arts offers visitors an ultra high-res 3D digital sculpture in four seconds

Jul 28, 2016 | By Andre

For some time now 3D scanning, especially when it relates to recreating the intricacies of the human face, has been limited in some ways. Whether its low-resolution capture or lengthy waits or cumbersome post-processing, there aren't many examples of a device that can capture all the details of the human face (and beyond) in just four seconds. The Royal Academy of Arts in London has recently begun experimenting with a photogrammetry system that takes 96 photos in rapid succession via an eight camera system. These images can then be processed into a digital 3D model, replicating every feature of the face in intricate detail. The results are something some of history's greatest artists would be jealous of no doubt.

Course Work

Introduction:

FacLab - Gennevilliers

What do we think of the FacLab experience?
The answer to this is multifold, as I review the sequences in my mind, they bring back very good memories.

We all have learnt many many new tech, softwares, ways to make things, the current magic machines and how to use them, apply them to our creative ideas.

Above all, we learnt to work in a team, each with our own personalities and background.

We ate together everyday, chatted, the conviviality is very important to understanding how each person tick; and what they like, their wishes and dreams and battles being fought.

The communal social aspect is very rare once you are outside of your standard schooling environment.  Here at FacLab, we are in a warm and gentle home kitchen environment, you get to relive it again once more.

FacLab is a creativity place, you tinker, you make, people come in and out, you ask a question, somebody may know the answer.  How much more fun it is to be here instead of being alone your own studio!  Its a parallel space where you can go and enjoy a drink or two, meet people.  Learn things, expand yourself, grow, collaborate, join the DIY world movement.  Have an opening to an international FabLab community.  You are plugged in to the world.

As in the movie "Primaire" - which I just saw last week - like that little autistic girl who gets to play an angel instead of a handicap monster, snow flakes sprinkled from above, and God finally realise too, that it takes courage to stay alive, to live, and grow for everybody regardless of age and time.

N.B.:  Another interesting point is, all University trainings are important for self improvement, especially at the end of it, does it help in the next step of the person's development?  After the FacLab experience, it is very clear that, interesting ideas are plenty all around, can you make it happen?  And, after it happens can you sell it?  Circulate it, diffuse it, and enable, grow, make further work possible?  How does a University education link up with the existing job market?  Some University subjects are not necessarily related to employment, work as the next step.  However, is this a valid question to ask vis a vis a subject like "DIY FabLab - numerical fabrication of projects?"?

"Black Night Light" 
group project: Landry, Charlene, Swannjie.

A Black Light tube is installed on the vertical edge of the clamp. 
One movement sensor, and one light sensor are respectively attached at the bottom and the top of the tube.  The adruino board and electric regulators are inserted inside the vertical edge of the clamp.  Electrical wire runs down the rod to an outlet.  

In the evening, you could comfortably get to another area of the house - ie toilet, kitchen etc - without disturbing other people - 
people sleeping - in the same room.

Black Light is a very soft light that reflects only on white and flourescent surfaces, for epileptic people, it is a required, preferred lighting.  As ordinary light is too harsh for their perception.  Therefore this light is designed specially for people with soft lighting needs.

The device could be attached horizontally and vertically anywhere.
There are two versions, the regular "Midnight Black" version and the "Clamp  mobile version.


Clips and Clamps started with a "clip holder" object given as stimulus designed by Loic, inspired by the object, the team began with research with various ways of holding things together; such as velcro, magnets, hooks, elastic... and Landry had the knowledge that Black Lights are necessary for epileptic persons, Charlene wanted to make special boxes with special keys to open and fun games for children, Swannjie wanted to use standard clamping device - as a useful mobile object which could also house the Black Light.  So we had two versions, one fixed with plug in outlet cord, and one mobile, either with batteries or plug in wall outlets.

"Clamp 2017":
Alternate status of the object
by : Swannjie

This object is a customized clamp originally conceived as a clamping device for a night light mobile use.  There are on the market currently led portable small lights which has an integrated battery, you just charge it up and take it anywhere.  Some have integrated clamping clip device. A handy led lamp on a clip.

"Clamp" is a attachment device which is designed to be used as an adjustable mobile table leg.  It could be used singly as shown here, as a special lighting object.  And it could be used as a discreet customised adjustable height table leg - in this case there will be 4 clamps. 

The legs have an adjustable height feature which makes the table a perfect fit with the user.  Such an adjustable table could be used for guqin performances.

It was designed as a component for carbon fiber guqin instrument.  
The carbon fiber guqin comes in a special carbon fiber transport case, which is the exact dimension of airline baggage.  The four carbon fiber clamp legs are integrated into the case.  

To set up, you open the case, take out the carbon fiber guqin, take out the 4 clamp legs, and clamp it onto the case (thickness 10cm)  

You have a perfect table for the guqin, including the case as resonance sound box.
Ready for playing/ performance.
