Quite an interesting project on Make, we need definitely more DIY, cheap 3D scanners. A comprehensive description is availabe on the website. Maker Alessandro Grossi sent us this great DIY build for a 3D scanner built using a laser, a DSLR, and an Arduino controller. Allesandro is a Mechanical Engineer, holding a Ph.D. in product design….
If you’re not a geek, and reading over this stuff freaks you out, have no fear! We’re building Pinoccio to be friendly and easy to use for beginners. In other words, you don’t really need to understand what all this stuff means. via Pinoccio | Pinoccio is an open source, wireless hardware platform for makers..
We are not asking you to eliminate your carbon footprint, nor attempting to turn you into a climate change crusader, nor claiming that the end of the world was triggered by you not recycling that can of soda last week… Experts of all kinds and points of view are working hard to tackle these problems, and…

Open Source Ecology is launching the 6 in 60 Campaign: Building out 6 of our open source Global Village Construction Set machines in 60 days. And we’re inviting you to participate. OSE Design Sprint – Open Source Ecology. Do you want to support Open Source Ecology but don’t know why? Maybe you know how to…
The plastic, capable of dramatic changes in shape and size, makes it possible for objects to transform themselves entirely. Hence a small, compressed package can become a full-grown armchair, whose first life-size version will be presented during this year’s Furniture Fair in Milan. via Smart polymers hunting for makers.
We have been busy developing machines and optimizing their production. My favorite highlight is that we have reached a single day production time – for our automated Compressed Earth Brick (CEB) Press. Now we aim to reach this production speed for each of the 50 Global Village Construction Set (GVCS) machines. In my TED Talk, I…

Help bring Open Source Hardware to the next stage in New York City at ITP-NYU – April 26-28, 2013Join us on this 3-day co-design jam to improve Open Source Hardware documentation practices and facilitate collaborative innovation. Create and contribute to one of the several parallel projects that will be prototyped. Software expert? Designer? Hardware hacker?…
This project started life because I wanted to explore the use of Open Source Hardware and the application of The Makers Bill of Rights and The Fixers Manifesto to the design of every day products. Looking around the home I realised that the vacuum cleaner is one of those products that is fairly expensive, often…
Toshiba today announces the industry’s thinnest CMOS image sensor camera module with high-resolution, 13 mega pixel (MP), imaging ideal for next-generation, ultra-thin smartphones and tablet devices. The new TCM9930MD leverages an advanced image pre-processing LSI (companion) chip and a refined module structure to create a compact image sensor camera module with the industry’s lowest profile…
Interesting opportunity! “Create an open hardware design for the ESA that can be generated by a 3D printer. All of the open hardware designs will go into a public domain library of designs, and ESA will pick the best one to emerge from the 2013 International Space Apps Challenge.” see the details here > ESA 3D…
