ars electronica – 3D Printed Wonderland

According to Lydschi’s soup, Ars Electronica is a wonderland of 3D printing.  Check out the rest of the photos!

Also, I’m very curious about this Stick Pet Modeller app represented by this icon.

Robot That Jumps Like A Grasshopper And Rolls Like A Ball Created For Space Exploration

Rhodri Armour from Bath made this awesome contraption!

The ‘Jollbot’ has been created by Rhodri Armour, a PhD student from the University of Bath. It’s hoped his creation, which can jump over obstacles and roll over smoother terrain, could be used for space exploration or land survey work in the future.

Nice RepRap mention too!!

The components of the robot were made by rapid prototyping technology, similar to that used by the RepRap machine pioneered by the University, which builds parts by “printing” layers of plastic on top of each other to produce a 3D object.


Here’s a video!
