Guto Requena 3D Printed Designs Based on Urban Sounds in Sao Paulo
Guto Requena is one of Brazil’s most innovative up and coming architects. His work is based on the ever-evolving world of communication and technology, reflecting how these new advancements affect us.
Requena was recently profiled in the i.materialise blog.
As a little child Guto Requena always dreamed about architecture. Then finally, when he started studying architecture he became more and more interested in digitalism and technology. At this moment he is one of the most innovatist architects of Brazil and with his studio Estudio Guto Requena he tries to push the projects he really wants to do.
For this collection he uses these former iconic designs as basics but reforms the digital models by using recorded cityvoices, urban sounds,…etc. through a computer program. He recorded these noises in different neighborhoods on the streets of São Paulo. The eventual designs were 3D printed at Materialise and are references to the beautiful hidden places in São Paulo’s neighborhoods.
Below is a video of an interview with Guto Requena.
University Professor Mark Ganter on Home Brew Printing Medium (Video)
Mark Ganter is a professor of mechanical engineering at UW. He loves 3D printing. He has machine #25 from ZCorp and has been doing this longer than these students have been alive. He is the co-director of the open3dp (Open 3D Printing) organization. And he thinks that 3D printing will cross academic boundaries, as we recently reported.
In the video below, Professor Ganter talks about a home brew printing medium for 3D printing.
Will It 3D Print? Objet Prints a Baseball Bat (Video)
In this edition of our Will It 3D Print?, we ask: could you 3D print a baseball bat?
In the video below, a baseball bat was 3D printed on an Objet Connex Multi-Material 3D Printer and tested against a variety of objects to see if it breaks. The bat is printed in Objet’s ABS-like Digital Material – a very strong and functionally versatile composite material that is unique to the Objet Connex range of 3D printers. The bat does not shatter or splinter upon hard contact with various objects.
Verdict: YES!
Video: Growing New Organs with 3D Printing (TED Talk)
In 1954, doctors completed the first kidney transplant procedure. Today, someone dies every 30 seconds from a disease that could be treated through tissue regeneration or organ replacement. What if we could use 3D printing to grow new organs?
Anthony Atala’s state-of-the-art lab grows human organs — from muscles to blood vessels to bladders, and more. At TEDMED, he shows footage of his bio-engineers working with some of its sci-fi gizmos, including an oven-like bioreactor (preheat to 98.6 F) and a machine that 3D prints human tissue.
In the TED video below, Anthony Atala asks, “Can we grow organs instead of transplanting them?” His lab at the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is doing just that — engineering over 30 tissues and whole organs.
Video: Burning Man Team Offers 3D Prints of Burners in the Desert
Global non-profit ReAllocate is putting 3D printing on center stage at this year’s Burning Man.
Their pitch is this:
- Go to their camp and get 3D scanned; they will start 3D printing a statue in your likeness
- Leave their camp with a GPS transponder
- A drone will come find you when your 3D print is ready and deliver it to you
