Rapid Prototyping (3d-printing) technology overview.

Rapid Manufacturing in action by Freedom Of Creation (FOC). This video demonstrates a project by FOC for the “Dutch At The Cutting Edge” exhibition at Museum At FIT in New York, September 2005. A Laser Sintered handbag is produced inside its own packaging including the address of the recipient. www.freedomofcreation.com

When developing new products, Dyson use Selective Laser Sintering to rapidly create working prototype machines suitable for performance and usage evaluation. The process involves using lasers to fuse together nylon or ceramic particles suspended in a gel, to create a 3-dimensional part, using info from a computer simulation of the object.

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 …

From CAD to prototype

Nectar Product Development, www.nectardesign.com ,was approached by Desktop Factory to develop an affordable rapid prototyping machine. This video showcases Nectar’s product development services including industrial design and mechanical engineering.

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.
