3 D printed stuff

Researchers have created the most lifelike robotic hand yet, designed to mimic the exact movements of our own hands.

Researchers Zhe Xu and Emanuel Todorov from the University of Washington in Seattle are behind the new design, which includes joints and pulleys based on biological features of the hand.
They wrote in their study that they have designed 'a biomimetic robotic hand that closely mimics its human counterpart with artificial joint capsules, crocheted ligaments and tendons, laser-cut extensor hood, and elastic pulley mechanisms.'

Previous anthropomorphic robotic hands tended to use hinges to simplify nature's design, which led to unnatural movements without human-level dexterity

'The inherent mismatch between mechanisms of these robotic hands and biomechanics of human hands essentially prevents us from using natural hand motion to directly control them,' they wrote.

Robots that can walk away from a 3d printer


Researchers in the US have developed 3D-printed robots containing solid and liquid parts which only need to be connected to a motor and power supply before they can scuttle off.

By laying down all the components as it goes, the 3D printer can produce the robot's rigid support, flexible components and fluid filled channels as it builds up the layers.

Describing the one-step process in a new paper, accepted ahead of a robotics conference in Sweden next month, researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) claim their method is a step towards the future of robotic production.

By laying down all the components as it goes, the 3D printer can produce the robot's rigid support, flexible components and fluid filled channels as it builds up the layers. Printhead nozzles deposit drops up to 30µm in diameter before solidifying them with UV light, skipping the liquid drops (illustrated)

The concept is there, but the centre of gravity needs work, or wheelie bars fitted.

I really hope they are not plastic tires i see there lmao,

Electric motorcycle made from tiny aluminium alloy particles using a 3D printer.

European aeronautics giant Airbus unveiled the 'Light Rider ' in Germany on Friday.

Light Rider

Manufactured by its subsidiary APWorks, a specialist in additive layer manufacturing, the motorcycle uses hollow frame parts that contain the cables and pipes.

The frame weighs just 13 pounds, about 30 percent less than conventional e-motorbikes.

APWorks chief executive Joachim Zettler said the complex, branched hollow structure wouldn't have been possible with conventional production technologies such as milling or welding.

OMG that looks really dodgy, despite those chunky tyres, I wouldn't take it anywhere near off road.

Yeah some things just should not be plastic, well actually a lot of things lol.

Just you wait until that plastic eating mushroom spores get free lol, shit has a funny way of evolving.

Last thing we need is AI programs integrated with a 3D printer, they'll probably print themselves a pair of legs and walk off.

Thermaltake Core P1 – 3D Printed Mini ITX Chassis

There are plenty of people printing all kinds of fun objects using 3D printers.
If you have the right printer and know a bit about design, you can always 3D print your own PC cases.
Take the Thermaltake Core P1 for instance. It is a 3D printed mini ITX chassis printed with PLA materials.

This video shows how this project was completed.
The good news is Thermaltake is now offering a platform with 3D printing files for makers to come up with their own custom designs.

Now the only thing you need is a 3D printer at home, hope you still have some space left in the kitchen at your home....

Its got worse im (not) ashamed to say, i have added another ASUS ii extreme and ASUS P6T to the recipe. Fortunately the weather is good and my wife is happy in the garden......


If only i can get a 3d printed house extension passed by the the town planners. The historic conservation area boundary line is at the bottom my garden so i might get a red one and see what happens.

Thor is a windowless drone that weighs in at 46 pounds (21 kilograms) and is less than four metres (13 feet) in length. Airbus have named the aircraft Thor - which stands for 'Test of High-tech Objectives in Reality.'

The aircraft is completely 3D-printed, except the electrical elements, which are built from a substance called polyamide.

According to the plane's chief engineer, Gunnar Haase, the plane 'flies beautifully, and is very stable.'


Both Airbus, and their rival, Boeing, are using 3D printing to make parts for some of their planes, such as the A350 and B787 Dreamliner.
