Collaborate Disseminate
Researchers recently shared details on creating foldable, self-locking structures by using multi-material 3D printing. These origami-inspired designs can transition between flat and three-dimensional forms, locking into place without needing external …read more Continue reading Origami-Inspired, Self-locking Structures With 3D Printing
If one has a multi-material printer there are more options than simply printing in different colors of the same filament. [Thomas Sanladerer] explores combinations of different filaments in a fantastic …read more Continue reading Printing in Multi-material? Use These Filament Combos
We don’t know much more than what we see with [Kounotori_DIY]’s battery loader design (video embedded below) but it just looks so cool we had to share. Watch it in …read more Continue reading Swapping Batteries Has Never Looked This Cool
[Angus] of Maker’s Muse has a video with a roundup of different 3D-printable hinge designs, and he points out that a great thing about 3D printing objects is that adding …read more Continue reading Would an Indexing Feature Benefit Your Next Hinge Design?
Samples taken from the space-returned piece of asteroid Ryugu were collected and prepared under strict anti-contamination controls. Inside the cleanest of clean rooms, a tiny particle was collected from the …read more Continue reading Life Found On Ryugu Asteroid Sample, But It Looks Very Familiar
What’s life without a little mystery? There’s one less rolling around after historians finally identified a donated mystery machine that had been in storage for years. The main pieces of …read more Continue reading Your Undocumented Project May Also Baffle People Someday
[ClownVamp]’s art project The Junk Machine is an interactive and eye-catching machine that, on demand, prints out an equally eye-catching and unique yet completely meaningless (one may even say corrupted) …read more Continue reading The Junk Machine Prints Corrupted Advertising On Demand
Tiling a space with a repeated pattern that has no gaps or overlaps (a structure known as a tessellation) is what led mathematician [Gábor Domokos] to ponder a question: how …read more Continue reading 3D Space Can Be Tiled With Corner-free Shapes
If you wonder how Large Language Models (LLMs) work and aren’t afraid of getting a bit technical, don’t miss [Brendan Bycroft]’s LLM Visualization. It is an interactively-animated step-by-step walk-through of …read more Continue reading An Animated Walkthrough of How Large Language Models Work
The James Webb Space Telescope’s array of eighteen hexagonal mirrors went through an intricate (and lengthy) alignment and calibration process before it could begin its mission — but the process …read more Continue reading The Constant Monitoring and Work That Goes into JWST’s Optics
