| Resource Title: | Making it Real: NSDL KMODDL Project to Utilize Low-Cost Object Printing Technology
|
|---|
| Description: | http://www.fabathome.org/wiki/http://www.newscientisttech.com/article/dn10922-desktop-fabricator-may-kickstart-home-revolution.htmlFabbers are machines that can make almost anything, right on your desktop--including historic objects stored in digital libraries. "Two Cornell researchers, Professor Hod Lipson and PhD student Evan Malone, have designed an open source 3D printer that costs just $2,400. The self-assembly kit is part of what they call the Fab@Home project. They hope it will spark development of rapid prototyping for the consumer market in the same way the Altair 8800 did for personal computing in seventies."The next generation of the Kinematic Models for Design Digital Library (KMODDL) http://kmoddl.library.cornell.edu/will be integrated with fabbersthat will make it possible for library visitors to print versions of historic models. Here is a video showing a completed machine constructing a silicone bulb (16-MB WMV).Add your comments here:http://expertvoices.nsdl.org/whiteboardtalkback/ |
