3D Scanning Demo

3D Thursday 3/9: 3D Scanning Demo with Victor De Los Angeles from CUBO

CUBO offers high resolution 3D Scanning, 3D modeling and 3D Printing services in the NYC area. Using the Artec Space Spider Victor will show you how he captures high definition 3D models with texture and precise measurements. For more details visit www.CuboDesigns.com (http://www.cubodesigns.com).

So... there has been a lot of fuss about this desktop 3D printing revolution thing for a while now. Still very exciting!

We have a new-old idea that leaps beyond the news hype and celebrates the wonder of the activity itself. Let's get together every Thursday evening to explore this broad field, in all of its many facets and manifestations. And get to know each other better -- from bold pioneers, to new adopters, from teachers to students, manufacturing experts, to code and electronics hackers. This is your space to grow and share.

Topics we might explore on a typical Thursday evening include:

• 3D design software and techniques. From getting started, to pushing boundaries.

• Explore more of the 3D ecosystem, from making use of 3D printing service bureaus to starting and managing your 3D Hub.

• How to prototype and develop your own physical products, tools, and artwork.

• 3D printing materials: strategies for fabricating in more than just 1-2 plastics.

• Casting and mold-making: from precious metals to candy bars.

• Finishing techniques. Sanding, painting, sealing, melting, deforming, decorating, hydro-printing.... Why just make things that look like plastic?

Let's spend time together sorting out better ways to use these tools, and better ways to design.
