[Breaking Taps] has a nice pulsed fiber laser and decided to try it to micromachine with silicon. You can see the results in the video below. Silicon absorbs the IR …read more Continue reading Micromachining with a Laser
Drawing on walls is fine for children, but adults tend to get bored quickly with such antics. Even more so when they realize who is responsible for cleaning up afterwards. …read more Continue reading 2022 Sci-Fi Contest: A Friendly Wall Drawing Robot
Air engines are a common occurrence here on Hackaday. They’re relatively novel and reasonably easy to 3D print without requiring any fluids or supporting machinery. For example, [Tom Stanton] took …read more Continue reading Gravity-Water-Air Powered Engine
LED and LCD displays are a technological marvel. They’ve brought the price of televisions and monitors down to unheard-of levels since the days of CRTs, but this upside arguably comes …read more Continue reading Split Flap Display Tells Us The Word
[Kent VanderVelden] has come up with an interesting VR system to assist operators who are monitoring CNC lathes. (video, embedded, below) The idea is to first produce a ‘frozen’ video …read more Continue reading VR Display Shows CNC Lathe Operations In Real Time
We’re no strangers to [Ivan]’s work and this time he’s building a relatively small CNC machine using extrusion, 3D printed parts, and a Makita router. The plans are available at …read more Continue reading Tiny CNC Cuts the Metal
When you see something made from metal that seems like it would be impossible to manufacture, chances are good it was made with some variety of electrical discharge machining. EDM …read more Continue reading Bringing the Power of EDM to the Home Shop
An electronic leadscrew is an increasingly popular project for small and mid-sized lathes. They do away with the need to swap gears in and out to achieve the proper ratio …read more Continue reading Electronic Lead Screws – Not Just for Threading Anymore
[Joel] of Joel Creates loves trains and Minecraft. So what better way to combine them than to make a real-life electric mine cart and ride it around? At first glance, …read more Continue reading This Little Minecraft Mine Cart of Mine
