“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

@AndrewASink @cookiecad In my computational fabrication class, students build this 3D-to-2D slicer for laser-cutting (in Grasshopper) as one of their assignments. It shouldn't be too difficult to port to a web app 😉.

The more I think about this, the more I think this would make an awesome web app similar to @cookiecad. 🤔 Upload a 3D model, define material thickness and dimensions, generate and lay out cuts. How hard could it be? 🤣

3mm layer height Benchy? No problem! 🤣 I haven't used the @autodesk Slicer app in a few years; it's one of my favorite hacks for making laser cut models! ⚡️

@joeltelling Hi Joel, I love your videos. We met briefly at the first @rmrrf ; I showed you some work my research lab (@utilitylabcu) is doing trying to develop more sustainable alternatives to thermoplastics in 3D printing (like using spent coffee grounds). [1/5]

Like clockwork I get comments about 3d printing and waste, but not one YouTube comment backs it up with any data.

@joeltelling @rmrrf @UtilityLabCU I have more info and links to references in our published work on the spent coffee grounds 3D printing. I'm also happy to chat more about this or the work my lab is doing for new materials (and also to support recycling of current materials). [4/5]

@joeltelling @rmrrf @UtilityLabCU In many ways 3D printing is better than traditional manufacturing approaches. And there's a lot of power in all of us having the ability to make (almost) anything we want. So it's important to be mindful of what we make/the materials we use. [3/5]

@joeltelling @rmrrf @UtilityLabCU There's a bunch of research on the environmental impacts of 3D printing (waste, energy, pollution). Most materials are not great. PLA, for example, is technically compostable, but it is pretty much always landfilled where it can take anywhere from 100-1000 years to degrade. [2/5]

If you’re interested in getting a PhD, this is a great chance to chat with the cool faculty at @cuatlas. And if you’re into digital fabrication, computational design and sustainability, I’ll be there recruiting the @UtilityLabCU 🖥️🔩
Ryo Suzuki@ryosuzk

To prospective PhD students, there is a PhD information session hosted by CU Boulder ATLAS Institute on 10/29 (Tue) 8AM MT. In particular, if you're working on #Tangible, #AR, and #Robotics areas, please contact me too. You can learn more here: colorado.edu/atlas/academic…

We found a way to generate manifold, polygonal meshes from feature vectors at points -- even if the vectors are random, you are still guaranteed to get a manifold mesh! How? Halfedge meshes, permutations, spacetimes, and more! Check out the 🧵. This project was a blast!
Tianchang Shen@TianchangS

Generating nice meshes in AI pipelines is hard. Our #SIGGRAPHAsia2024 paper proposes a new representation which guarantees manifold connectivity, and even supports polygonal meshes -- a big step for downstream editing and simulation.

Our lab focuses on doing impactful work—we combine computational fabrication, materials science, and sustainable design practices in domains like 3D printing, (smart) textiles, and electronics. We've been featured in: 1. NPR's All Things Considered: npr.org/2024/07/07/nx-…
