a debate on 3d printing future
I wanted to write this post for quite some time now. A very interesting debate has been taking place on the question if 3d printers will become mainstream – meaning if they will become as ubiquitous as 2d printers are now. It has all started from a post on Replicator blog. Later SolidSmack and Fabbaloo [...]

I recently wrote an article about Sean Hanna’s and Siavash H. Mahdavi’s research into microstructure optimization for Architektura – Murator – a polish architectural design magazine. Sean Hanna is a RCUK Academic Fellow in Space and Adaptive Architectures based at the Bartlett School of Graduate Studies of UCL. His microstructure optimization is essentially a design [...]

I have found out about it through Amy Sun’s blog. The Fab Lab so far realized [...]

customize your table on the go
I have just learned through Fluid Forms blog that Gramazio’s and Kohler’s mTABLE is available for purchase. All you need to do is to download the customization software to your cell phone, give it a go and send the data to the fabricators. The table will then be CNC milled. Is it the first example [...]

As mentioned before I’m currently working on adjusting the Particles Ballet software from 2d motion picture generation tool (used for the Bix performance) to a tool for customization of 3d forms. This requires a new generative procedure, which goes away from the notion of unconnected strings. I have applied a procedure of connecting each particle [...]

design and piracy
My new short text was just published at the Thinking blog. I argue, that with new image processing technologies, like Microsoft’s Photosynth will make room for the intellectual property rights debate in the world of design. It might mean that designers will find themselves in a need to implement new organizational scheme; Perhaps one that [...]

Ronen Kadushin’s company Open Design is another attempt to bring tangibles closer to the world of 2.0 value creation. It seems one worth a closer look. In his own words: “Open Design is a personal attempt to close a creativity gap between product design and other fields (music, graphic design, animation and photography), Which found [...]
