CAD/CAM COLLABORATIVE DESIGN OUTLOOK: STRATASYS HELPS BOOST 3D PRINTING.: An article from: Manufacturing Automation

@DocProfSky gives a talk on 3D printing at Desert Code Camp 2011 (apr2011.desertcodecamp.com at Chandler-Gilbert Community College in Arizona. He covers the basics of 3D printing then gives a live demonstration using a MakerBot Industries Thing-O-Matic 3D printer to print a whistle including the captive ball. A Q&A sessions follows.

Deep inside the GM Design building where future products from Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac take shape and substance, an elite team fashions components, intricate sub assembles and entire scale model cars from highly specialized three-dimensional rapid prototyping manufacturing equipment from 3D Systems.

We are a group of engineers, mechanical/industrial designers, entrepreneurs, and inventors, that have a passion of creating innovative ideas and inventions transforming them into physical reality. We start with conception sketches for visualization and help all the way through the product development cycle. We create prototypes by designing 3D CAD interactive parametric models using Solidworks, autocad and other 3D software. We can then create 3D pictures using graphic design and graphical animations(movies) so you can visualize exactly how your idea will look, work together, and function. We can then create a functional prototype using a 3D rapid prototype printer using FDM(Fused Deposited Material) out of ABS custom plastic. We can also do electrical hardware, PCB boards, and software. We are also a 3D laser scanning service bureau, using the scanner we can reverse engineer existing products or out of production parts. 3D software then digitizes it creating a 3D stl model that you can create cad models if needed, then modify them. We have connections to other professionals that we can get your product patented and protect your intellectual property. We also have a network of manufactures, factories, CNC machine shops, injection molders, and more. Let us get your ideas in your hand quickly!

Google Tech Talks March, 24 2008 ABSTRACT Yang Li – RESEARCH SCIENTIST Pervasive or ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) applications can support people’s everyday activities in the physical world by leveraging advances in sensor technologies and computing infrastructures. Designing ubicomp applications is challenging because our everyday activities are more complex, dynamic and less structured than the tasks supported by traditional desktop computing. Ubicomp design is difficult, time-consuming, and requires a high level of technical expertise, especially with sensor technologies. To address this, I created a set of rapid prototyping tools and frameworks. My early work with Topiary introduces high-level abstractions, such as maps and scenarios, for designers to easily model location contexts and specify location-based behaviors. Topiary also allows a design to be tested in the field via a Wizard of Oz approach, without deploying a location sensor infrastructure. My recent work is focused on activity-based ubicomp prototyping, a process for enabling long-term activities (such as keeping fit)—a larger unit for design than the tasks that are the focus of traditional design. To support such a process, I created ActivityDesigner, a system that allows designers to create functional prototypes of ubicomp applications based on field observations, and easily deploy and test these prototypes in situ.

Product Description
Rapid Prototyping of Digital Systems, Second Edition provides an exciting and challenging laboratory component for an undergraduate digital logic design class. The more advanced topics and exercises are also appropriate for consideration at schools that have an upper level course in digital logic or programmable logic.
Design engineers working in industry will also want to consider this book for a rapid introduction to FPLD technology and logic synthesis using commercial CAD tools, especially if they have not had previous experience with the new and rapidly evolving technology.
Two tutorials on the Altera CAD tool environment, an overview of programmable logic, and a design library with several easy-to-use input and output functions were developed for this book to help the reader get started quickly. Early design examples use schematic capture and library components. VHDL is used for more complex designs after a short introduction to VHDL-based synthesis.
The second edition of the text now includes Altera’s 10.1 student edition software which adds support for Windows 2000 and designs that are three times larger using the new 70,000 gate UP 1X board. All designs in the book’s CD-Rom have been updated to work with the original UP 1 board or the newer UP 1X board using the new Altera student version software. A coupon is included with the text for purchase of the new UP 1X board. The additional logic and memory in the UP 1X’s FLEX 10K70 is useful on larger design projects such as computers and video games.
In addition to the new software, the second edition includes an update chapter on programmable logic, new robot sensors and projects, optional Verilog examples, and a meta assembler which can be used to develop assemble language programs for the computer designs in Chapters 8 and 13.

Product Description
The material in this book is based on the assumption that new manufacturing techniques offer potential benefits to electromechanical designers, but that appropriate design systems are necessary. The book describes a design paradigm, `design by composition’, that facilitates design of integrated electromechanical devices for fabrication with novel rapid prototyping processes. New manufacturing techniques called layered manufacturing, rapid prototyping, or Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) build parts by a sequence of deposition and shaping operations. These techniques allow a greater degree of manufacturing automation, and offer new design possibilities. For example, during SFF fabrication, the interior of parts is accessible. Traditional manufacturing techniques, on the other hand, generally of parts with complex internal geometry and embedded components. The design by composition technique is particularly well suited to design and fabrication of mechanical parts with embedded electronic, sensor, and actuator components. The highly integrated mechanisms that can be fabricated with the Shape Deposition Manufacturing (SDM) process and the design by composition approach can result in small robotic systems with increased performance and reliability. The book describes some of the new possibilities offered by SFF techniques, in particular the SDM process, and how design by composition makes these capabilities accessible to designers. The book presents the concept of design by composition, as well as the theoretical development of algorithms for its implementation. A prototype implementation is described, as well as some example parts built at Stanford University with the system.

Design By Composition for Rapid Prototyping

I’m starting my own fashion line aimed at high-end boutiques. I got all these designs in my head but don’t have the software to visualize them. I’m not talking about any printing software for the shirts…just the software to make 3D designs of the shirts.
