This is the building at Stanford Research Institute in which Doug Englebart and his Augment team invented the personal computer. This is a blue foam prototype based on a 3D model I built of the building. It will eventually be 3D printed and used in a art installation.
This is a new prototype accessory from Kia for the 2010 Soul. It is a new type of hood deflector that adheres to the hood in stead of bolting to it. It is made of durable plastic and adheres to the hood with 3M tape. It is made by the Lund corporation. Personally I think it makes the car look like it has a moustache. Let me know what you think (if you own a Soul) and I will pass he information on to the accessory group.
Documenting the construction process of a platform dolly I constructed for filmmaking.
Step 1: Figuring out how large the dolly needs to be. I made it 2 feet 4 inches wide—to ensure that it would fit through doorways—and 4 feet long.

this is the 56" wide prototype fabric for my spoonflower cut & sew bag contest entry, printed on sateen.
The prototype fabric didn't have instructions printed on it, but did have a bonus coordinating reversible foldover clutch purse!

Tis is my final contest entry design with instructions added (bag design the same as the prototype):
lousy photo :( but this was made of tiny bits of scrap sterling wire formed into a ring shape then fused together in the torch. Started off pretty skeletal then got more and more bits added to it. This one was an experiment and hasn't photographed well, but it's given me a fair few ideas.

We are teaching a new maker art class called ‘Robot World’, to help children create their own artistic robots. This class for grades 4-5 will take place at the Lycée Français in Sausalito. Students will learn how to make their bots move in a variety of ways, as well as play sounds and light up, using a programmable Arduino board. They will then decorate their animated creatures, give them a story, and create a magical world for them to live in.
This photo set covers our our first prototypes for this class, featuring a Baby Angel, an Alien and a Bamboodu native american spirit, in different stages of construction. Students will design their own characters, and we will laser cut wooden figures based on their designs, using the same mechanisms to make characters shake their heads and wave their arms while they roam.
Each student will receive a robot kit, which they will learn to assemble, control and program. They will then take their completed robot home with them, after the class ends. For this course, my partner Edward Janne and I have created our own robot kit, using an Arduino Feather M0 for the robot, an RF remote, a custom chassis, plus three additional servos and more parts. Our robot kit is similar to commercial products, but with a lot more features at a lower cost.
We are also teaching a similar class for adults and teens at Tam Makers in Mill Valley, which will use the same robot kit. In just two evenings in late September, we'll show students how to build their own robot with Arduino, make it move, light up and play sounds -- then take it home.

The advantages of the Metal CNC rapid prototype can very accurately reflect the information in the drawings, and the surface finishing quality is very high. The use of Rapid Prototype in the field of machine production because of the characteristics of Rapid Prototype skill itself, has been widely used in the field of mechanical production and is mostly used in the production of single and small batch metal parts. Some special messy parts, because only a single production, or less than 500 pieces of small-batch, generally they can be directly made by the rapid prototype with small batch production with low cost, short cycle.CNC Metal rapid prototype can use Aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, brass, stainless steel, and other processing materials. The surface finishing can be done the High Polishing, Grinding, Polishing, Sandblasting, Oxidation, Electroplating, Powder Coating, and Gas Hardened. Short-time gas nitriding, DLC, heat treatment, and so on.
Metal Rapid Prototyping Material Info
Aluminum Alloy
Aluminum alloy is one of the most widely used non-ferrous metal structural materials in the rapid prototype, and they has been widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, medical, rapid prototype model. At present, Aluminum alloy is the most widely used alloy in rapid prototype. It has the advantages of easy processing and forming, good rigidity and rich anodize coloring.

6061 Aluminum Rod
1
6061 aluminum rod representative uses include aerospace fixtures, electrical fixtures, and communication fields, also widely used in automation machinery parts, precision processing, mold manufacturing, electronics and precision instruments, SMT, PC board solder carrier, and so on. It is a heat-treatable alloy with good formability, weldability, machinability, and moderate strength. It can still maintain good operation after annealing.

6061-T651 is the main alloy of 6061 alloys. It is a high-quality aluminum alloy produced by heat treatment and pre-drawing process, but its magnesium and silicon alloys have many characteristics. It has excellent processing performance, excellent welding characteristics and electroplating, good corrosion resistance, high toughness, and no deformation after processing, material density without defects and easy polishing, easy coloring film, excellent oxidation effect, and other excellent characteristics. The application of plate belts is widely used in decoration, packaging, construction, transportation, electronics, aviation, aerospace, weapons, and other industries. Aerospace aluminum is used to make aircraft skin, fuselage frame, girder, rotor, propeller, fuel tank, siding, and landing gear prop, as well as rocket forging ring, spacecraft siding, etc. Transportation aluminum is used for automobiles, subway vehicles, railway buses, high-speed bus body structure material, car doors and windows, shelves, car engine parts, air conditioners, radiators, car body plates, wheel hub,s and naval ship materials.
6061 Aluminum Alloy Element
The main alloying elements of 6061 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon, and form Mg2Si phase. If contain a certain amount of manganese and chromium, can neutralize the bad effect of iron; Sometimes a small amount of copper or zinc is added to improve the strength of the alloy without significantly reducing its corrosion resistance; There is also a small amount of copper in the conductive material to offset the bad effects of titanium and iron on electrical conductivity; Zirconium or titanium can refine grain and control recrystallization structure. Lead and bismuth are added to improve machinability. Mg2Si is solidly dissolved in aluminum, which makes the alloy have the function of artificial age hardening. The main alloying elements in 6061 aluminum alloy are magnesium and silicon, with moderate strength, good corrosion resistance, weldability and good oxidation effect.
Mg-Al 6061-T651 is the main alloy of 6-series alloy, which is a high-quality aluminum alloy product after heat treatment and pre-drawing process. Mg-al 6061 has excellent machining performance, good corrosion resistance, high toughness and no deformation after processing, easy coloring film, excellent oxidation effect and other excellent characteristics.
Main uses: widely used in various industrial structural parts requiring certain strength and high corrosion resistance, such as manufacturing trucks, tower buildings, ships, trolleys, railway vehicles.
