Only a week left until the World Cup. Another grand stage was at RoboCup 2009 in Graz, Austria. Check out what happened there below.
Looking forward to see soccer balls on Thingiverse. In the meantime get ready for the World Cup by printing the referee whistle by Zaggo.

We don’t see a lot of animal designs on Thingiverse but now we have some cool frog designs by owenscenic. He made the frog for his daughter and now we can all have our own sets of little frogs.
If you have a 3D model for an animal, upload it to Thingiverse so everyone can make it!

Unfold & Tim Knapen – L’Artisan Electronique from Kunst in Limburg on Vimeo.
Awesome. The amazing Unfold has come up with a contraption that lets folks sculpt virtual pottery! Very cool!
For L’Artisan Electronique, Unfold created -aside from the ceramic printer- a virtual pottery wheel in collaboration with Tim Knapen. This pottery wheel gives visitors a chance to ‘turn’ their own forms. Every time a visitor presses “Save” on the arcade buttons, the creation is saved to disk and displayed on the wall. At regular intervals, a selection of these designs is printed in clay using a modified REPRAP machine and exhibited in the space.
The virtual pottery interface uses openFrameworks with openCV to track visitors’ hand positions in the air. There are two parts to the scan, one being the green laser projecting lines onto the hand and camera recording the deformations to the line created by the hand. The curvature recorded is used as a cylinder deformer.
Beautiful! Via Creative Applications Also check out Unfold’s blog!
