The full video is here: Part 1: www.youtube.com Part 2: www.youtube.com Part 3: www.youtube.com StickOS is an MCU-resident rapid prototyping and education environment for highly integrated MCUs. It makes the internal MCU functionality trivially available to a large class of users who don’t otherwise want to become MCU experts. Literally in minutes, hobbyists, researchers, and students can have useful embedded systems up and running, taking advantage of all of the MCU integrated peripheral functionality, as well as Zigbee wireless functionality, without ever understanding traditional MCU I/O registers or software development environments. StickOS is flashed onto the MCU once, and from then on the user can control the MCU thru a USB, Ethernet, or Zigbee interface using just a terminal emulator. Internal to the MCU is an entire resident StickOS BASIC programming environment (including an easy-to-use editor, compiler, flasher, and debugger), where external pins are mapped to special “pin variables” for manipulation or examination, and internal peripherals are managed by BASIC control statements and interrupt handlers. When coupled with an MC1320x Zigbee wireless transport, the MCU may be remotely controlled through another MCU, via a telnet/rlogin-like interface, eliminating the need for a direct USB or Ethernet connection to the host computer. Additionally, BASIC programs can access variables remotely from other MCUs, enabling the use of “remote pin variables” or other forms …

Rapid Prototyping provides assistance to speed the development of new components. As soon as such components have been designed on a CAD system, computer-guided machines can use laser sintering or 3D printing technology to create scale models from resin, plastic powder, acrylic, wax or metal.

Additive Manufacturing Technologies: Rapid Prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing deals with various aspects of joining materials to form parts. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an automated technique for direct conversion of 3D CAD data into physical objects using a variety of approaches. Manufacturers have been using these technologies in order to reduce development cycle times and get their products to the market quicker, more cost effectively, and with added value due to the incorporation of customizable features. Realizing the potential of AM applications, a large number of processes have been developed allowing the use of various materials ranging from plastics to metals for product development. Authors Ian Gibson, David W. Rosen and Brent Stucker explain these issues, as well as:

• Providing a comprehensive overview of AM technologies plus descriptions of support technologies like software systems and post-processing approaches
• Discussing the wide variety of new and emerging applications like micro-scale AM, medical applications, direct write electronics and Direct Digital Manufacturing of end-use components
• Introducing systematic solutions for process selection and design for AM

Additive Manufacturing Technologies: Rapid Prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing is the perfect book for researchers, students, practicing engineers, entrepreneurs, and manufacturing industry professionals interested in additive manufacturing.
