3D Printing in Outer Space
Do you think 3D printing is just for making small plastic toys? Although early 3D printing technology was more of a novelty, it has grown up fast into a practical fabrication tool. These days 3D printers are printing parts for cars, planes, food, human organs, and even buildings. What is next you ask? How about sending a 3D printer to the moon and printing a moon base. Using a 3D printing technology called microwave sintering and a giant spider like robot, NASA plans to fuse lunar soil together to build a space station. The Egyptians used a similar concept 4000 years ago when they learned that a mixture of sand, clay, water, and straw could be mixed and left in the sun to form sun-dried bricks also known … [Read more...]

Design Blocks Reference Sheet
We have drafted these design blocks as orthographic projections, obliques, and isometrics: Orthographic drawing is a means of representing a three-dimensional object in two dimensions. It is a form of parallel projection, where the view direction is orthogonal to the projection plane, resulting in every plane of the scene appearing in affine transformation on the viewing surface. Oblique drawings are designed to show a three dimensional view of an object. It is a kind of a drawing that shows one face of the object in true shape, but the other faces on a distorted angle. Isometric drawings are pictorial representation of an object in which all three dimensions are drawn at full scale rather than foreshortening them to the true … [Read more...]
