Lumifold, is raising funds on kickstarter: interesting concept and very ambitious machine! This is probably the smallest (measuring just 250 x 120 x 30mm when folded) that you can really travel with, and you still have a building area of 90 x 90 x 90mm. This printer is the best choice as your first 3d…
A very innovative, open source, CNC controller for 3D printers, laser cutters, cnc mills etc is raising funds on Kickstarter Smoothieboard self dubs as “an easy to use open source G-code interpreter for all 3d printers, laser cutters, mills, and other CNCs. Modular, powerful, and smooth” The Smoothie project is about creating a platform for…
These guys want to create the first $100 3Dprinter (that actually sports also Scannig features). The project is still in it’s infancy but it’s so cool that was hyper funded on kickstarter. Cool stuff: See how it works: The peachy printer is a Photolithographic printer. That means it uses a controlled beam of light to…
We know that we can’t talk speed without first investing in reliability. After all, there’s so much time lost in 3D printing because so much effort is put in making the machines work. Reliability has always been one of our core goals at Radiant Fabrication. We’ve never been about producing the cheapest 3D printer but…
See this new board that debuted on kickstarter: amazingly small, this product comes to join the ever growing Arduino family. The Microduino series is a 100% Arduino compatible open source hardware, compatible with Arduino IDE development environment and existing Arduino sketches. Its size is about a quarter (25.40mm X 27.94mm / 1.0inch X 1.1inch), much…
You’ve still seven six more days to support this ambitious project looking for 1M$!: Mebotics: Microfactory – “World’s First Machine Shop in a Box” The first widely-available machine to marry both additive and subtractive manufacturing, integrating machining, 3D printing and etching into a safe, self-cleaning, networkable unit • An ultimate all-in-one factory for small business – biotech & design…
This board for computer vision seems a great product: the involvement of Carnegie Mellon university just makes it more interesting and promising. And it’s open source hardware! Pixy is a fast vision sensor you can quickly “teach” to find objects, and it connects directly to Arduino and other controllers. via Pixy (CMUcam5): a fast, easy-to-use…
A Nixie tube is an electronic device for displaying numerals or other information using glow discharge. Now one guy funded his project to develop a Nixie Tubes + Arduino Shield on Kickstarter! Nixie Tubes + Arduino Shield I want to bring the world of Nixie Tubes to as many enthusiasts and hobbyists as possible. The added bonus of being able to connect this…
This device, particularly designed for applications in autonomous vehicle systems, has been recently funded on kickstarter. An RTK (Real Time Kinematic) GPS system gives positions that are 100 times more accurate than commercial receivers (down to centimeters) What is Piksi? Piksi is an RTK GPS receiver with open source software that costs one tenth the price…
Zcapture a 360° product photography, open source hardware, with powerful processing software is raising money on kickstarter: may be useful for those of you that create products! My goal with Zcapture is to provide a low-cost, high-quality product that can be modified, hacked or customized to fit individual needs. We believe this product should be…
Flutter is a wireless electronics development platform based on Arduino. With over half a mile of usable range, a powerful ARM processor, and integrated encryption, Flutter makes it easy for you to build projects that communicate across the house, across the neighborhood, and beyond. Whether you want to check the temperature of a beer-brewing setup,…
A very interesting project has been funded on Kickstarter: Meet LEDgoes. It’s the simplest, most versatile, least expensive LED Matrix Display system that exists today, with useful features for all experience levels with electronics. And the software & hardware will be Open Sourced upon successful funding! You can stack or arrange up to 64 Displayboards…
