CNC used to make 3D video using one camera
[Gabriel] is making 3D movies using only one camera . This should be impossible because true 3D needs to be stereoscopic, with images from different perspectives for each eye. He’s worked this out by mounting the camera on a CNC gantry and programming it to make two passes along slightly different paths. He’s plotting the camera paths using SketchUp and a plugin that exports paths as CamBam files , automatically adjusting for perspective. The two videos are then merged using Stereo Movie Ma
Piecax the Poltergeist reinvents the Knock Block
[AndyGadget] built a haunted box as part of his Halloween preparations. This follows in the footsteps of the Knock Block we saw earlier this month but makes several hardware changes. He’s replaced the solenoid with a DC motor that rotates an arm to do the knocking. He’s avoided any CNC work by using a softwood box from a craft store as the enclosure. For control circuitry he’s used an 8-pin PICAXE Microcontroller that ‘listens’ for knocking on the box via a piezo buzzer. It will mimic knocks
CNC Programming Tips Professional Way
When a matter is completed and full of happiness with Computer Numerical Control Machine , a program of action ended. All calculations are fabricated and the algorithm is completely written. But the catechism is the task of programmers is absolutely complete? Back is a programmer’s absolute top of the albatross? And how can we put a sign that the affairs of the Computer Numerical Control apparatus that programmer? After the atmosphere of the apparatus Length Offset Value it is time for the b
Chicago news co-op launches, will feed New York Times
It’s a good thing when the journalists write press releases. Today’s launch of the Chicago News Cooperative is something that we can share with you pretty much by cutting and pasting the press release. Unlike the jargon-filled missives from many companies, this is easy to read. A few points first: The CNC is a new nonprofit reporting organization supported by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and comprises former Chicago Tribune journalists and other editorial staff. This is th

Far From Vietnam Restored
Thanks to one of our readers for pointing out the screening, at the British Film Institute’s 53 rd London Film Festival (14—29 October 2009), of Loin de Vietnam [ Far From Vietnam ], the collaborative film contributed to and edited by Chris Marker in 1967. It is especially exciting to hear news of this film’s recent restoration by the Archives françaises du film du CNC together with SOFRACIMA. The restored film was screened at Cannes as well earlier this year. As our correspondent a
Boombox warns construction ahead
[Sam] built himself a boom box using salvaged parts and a car stereo. The case was cut using a CNC router he had access to at his school. The front panel is cut from a “Construction Ahead” road sign. The size of the case is based roughly on the rotting enclosures from which he pulled the speakers. He’s included connectors for external speakers as well as a USB charging port
Pedro Mealha’s Rhizome Task Lamp
Exploring mechanical movement, elastic tension and CNC/Laser cutting technology. Currently part of the One Off undergraduate show at Kingston University in London is Pedro Mealha’s Rhizome Task Lamp . The project emerged from his interest in wooden dinosaur kits and the way in which the various components are pieced together to gain a three-dimensional shape from a flat wooden panel. made from two A3 aeroply boards, rhizome uses an LED ring as a source of light. The lamp was initiall
CNC hot wire cutter from scanners
[Raul] built a CNC hot wire cutter that he uses for cutting shapes out of foam. His device uses two flat bed scanners to provide two planes of motion. One scanner arm has the foam mounted on it and provides the Y-axis movement. The other scanner has the hot wire mounted on it and provides the X-axis movement. The cutting wire is mounted on a flexed bow made from heavy gauge coat hanger wire. He tapped into the logic board of one scanner to gain access to the motor movements. The other is con
