O Peter me apontou para esse capacete, fresado todo em alumínio numa máquina de 5 eixos da Daishin.  Adicione ouro e hiphop e teremos um possível rapper hit.

Confiram o vídeo dele sendo produzido.

Meet DIYLILCNC, an opensource CNC milling machine project set to teach anyone to build there own milling tool. The initiative came from 2 chicago-based artists and educators of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Thanks to them, today with around 700 dollars and some time invested putting the parts together, anyone can have their own CNC milling machine at home.

While Computer Numerical Controlled machines are nothing new, the availability of open-source building plans is a reflection of the democratization of innovation we have been seeing in the last years.

This experiment can turn out to be a new section on the e.Moped project site, It’s my first attempt to use yahoo pipes mashup tool. The pipe you see above can aggregate automatically solidworks+tutorial Tags in the bookmarking service Delicious along with tutorials from the the SWX Design website into an always updating piece of Java Sript code.

The result is what you seen here, a RSS feed capable of being placed into any website. There is a whole range of possibilities with this mashup tool, even combining Flickr, Geo Data Information to Display photos on Google Earth. I see my dream “Skateboard Ramp Mapping Widget” coming soon. Got any ideas for other cool pipes? write on..

A new application for the Iphone, called Netsketch, enables two people to draw an image together, through the touch interface of the Iphone. I don’t believe it can be of great use in a professional design environment but I have to take my hat of for this fun initiative.

I can think of some applications for integrating real-time drawing capabilities on smart phones: collective VJing, Interactive walls…

Give it up for the brothers at Netsketchapp.

Also on the subject of interactive/collective sketching: See our story about the SwarmSketch

This is what you get when you export green thunders in a box from Rhinoceros as a .3dxml file and import into 3DVIA platform.

Navigate through the thunder storm I built by going to the Model`s page.

With the help of Strata 3d(in) Plugins for Photoshop, displayed earlier this month in Photoshop World Conference in Las Vegas, Adobe is hoping to bridge the gap between the complex authoring world of 3D models and its palette of Products.

Functions like the generation of simple 3D modells and the generation of complex 3D modells (with textures!!) from photographs and the return of it as a 3d Layer into photoshop CS3 extended are all possible with this new plug-In suite. Once the modell is in a photoshop 3D layer, it can be rotated, iluminated and even exported as a Acrobat 3D file or a webpage. How sweet is that?

It seams a logical step for a company like Adobe, which has been claiming its key role in the digital creative market but hasn’t done much for us product designers. Strata seams to be a company of its own and I couldn’t find exactly how is the relationship between the two companies. Lets just hope that more and more 3D features come and maybe even a new Abode 3D Application.

If you want to take a look how these pluggins work visit the official Strada webpage and watch the video tutorials. If you have already tried it and want to share your toughts on it or your creations, send Lets Evo a Link, I will be happy to share it here.

Check the Video!!

Thanks Sebastian “Sebi” Schulz for sending me the link of the All Things Digital Conference Website where I found this! Collaboration rules. (Sebi used Delicious, and Tagged For:Henrique to send me this Link)
