This COR Black impact bar was supposed to break... ...but it was too rugged... ...and we had to buy an even heavier pendulum just to measure the impact strength!

We are excited to announce that our partner, @PolySpectra, has launched its latest Cyclic Olefin Resin (COR) material on Kickstarter: COR Zero. COR Zero is a truly manufacturing-grade resin, designed to be processed with just three key pieces of equipment: a freezer (for storage), a microwave (for post-curing), and a resin 3D printer (for printing). COR Zero enables makers to become manufacturers, by empowering them with the durability, reproducibility, and reliability that is needed for end-use additive manufacturing. By supporting Polyspectra’s campaign, you are enabling them to harness collective purchasing power, making COR Zero more affordable and accessible for everyone.

just another day in the lab... ...measuring the flexural strength of COR

most people won't admit the real reason that black is the most popular color...

threads are often much trickier than they appear...

solid stress retention is critical for many applications, including snap-fit connectors, orthopedic inserts, and dental products such as orthodontic aligners

Hey look! COR Zero is featured on the homepage of @kickstarter today! With your support, we can make it real.

materials selection can be really complex, even for very simple parts.

Retrieval-augmented CAD 🔥🧱 This is a fantastic project by @PolySpectra that actually proposes a novel way to think about 3D generative AI. If you're familiar with the space, a lot of work in AI + 3D has dealt with how to directly model 3D representations with neural nets, from NeRFs to voxels to point clouds to polygons. But this is a cool approach where we use LLMs to generate a domain-specific language code CAD - code that can convert into 3D CAD models. So we reduce the problem to generating code instead of trying to tackle the visual space directly. And because this code is domain-specific, using RAG (with @llama_index) to index guides about the DSL will help the LLM better write the DSL to generate coherent models.
