A breadcrumb trail of project notes
After Eyebeam day 4 the guys from Graffiti Research Labs had a photoshoot with a major magazine (details when it goes through). I took pictures of the process of taking pictures. The whole thing took several hours and there is more story than can be related here. If the final picture comes out, it should [...]

On day 4 I wrote some code in Processing [...]
I decided to learn SolidWorks since it’s designed for solids modelling and seems a perfect match for the 3D printer. Brian (another 3D intern) and Michael (the R&D Tech Director) tend towards Maya. Maya seems like the tool to use for dealing with characters and geometry captured from graphics-oriented programs (using the incomparable [...]

I made a compound curve in SketchUp using extrude along a 3D path, exported using the su2stl plugin and loaded the STL file into Catalyst (the software that takes an STL geometry [...]
I’m pleased to announce that I’m interning for the 3D Printing/Digital Fabrication position at the Eyebeam OpenLab.
Here’s the job description:
3D Printing/Digital Fabrication
The OpenLab houses a Dimension BST 3D Printer, which has been used internally for a number of projects, including OGLE and Robot Clothes. We are seeking an intern to coordinate and encourage use of [...]

Hydrobot Mark I is a robot that makes music using water. Mark I sprays water pressurized by a pump onto metal resonator plates that are attached to a contact microphone. Laser-cut acrylic disks mounted to waterproofed motors spin and interrupt the flow of water to create rhythm. The sound of the contact [...]
