When you’re planting the corn and you look up to realize you’ve suddenly been lifted off the ground, transported halfway across the universe and are sitting in a cafe with a small purple creature sipping tea and rubbing your legs, do not worry, it’s only the SolidSmack Update. KICK IT.

This is a robotic turret for your iPhone. It’s called the Galileo because Galileo himself was a robot, with hidden gun turrets. Fact. Unlike the Italian physicist, this iPhone platform has infinite spherical rotation capability and can be operated from remote locations. It’s the brainchild of Josh Guyot and JoeBen Bevirt, the duo who brought you the Gorillapod flexible camera tripod, and… the project is fully funded (and then some) on Kickstarter.

Unhappiness Alert: The models don’t actually pop out of the screen.
I know, it’s hard to believe you’ve been without 3D viewing in AutoCAD WS all these years, but turn those tears of sorrows into finger slaps of joy. You can now view your 3D AutocCAD files on AutoCAD WS in… 3D (granted Turboviewer did this 6 months ago) “What? You didn’t go there did you?” I DID. Autodesk also has a few other features up its sleeve for this new update of AutoCAD WS.
Shifting wing to wind it steadied the spade, its feet and iron chest ablaze and back against the sun. What could this beast with razored blade, be rooting from the ground? A vine releasing plumes of smoke, burning red, wrapped in these links.

Prepare to project your bat signal or latest car concept in STYLE. The Kreios G1 LED image projector has won a highly-prized Red Dot Design Award for Product Design, selected amongst the ‘Best of the Best’ products within 1,800 entries. The extremely energy-efficient projector was developed by our friends over at Cambridge Industrial Design for Osram. We talk with owner Alex Jones to get the scoop of the tools they used and how the project came together.

The moment when a 3D printer and a 3D scanner are combined into a single product… hasn’t happened, yet. But, we’re pretty sure there would be some positive returns for both the manufacturer and the consumer market. A great number of people would love to replicate the cups and spoons they already have instead of buying them. God knows what traditional manufacturers would think though. So, why haven’t we seen a scan-and-print 3d copier? And, what would it take to create it?

Besides enjoying the warmth of freshly molten plastic against their skin, plastic part designer and mold makers appreciate parts that don’t shrink unevenly or have an excessive amount of undercuts. SolidWorks has launched an addon to help part designers of the world catch and ‘predict’ issues that may come up during manufacturing with a new product aptly named, SolidWorks Plastics.

Specking out a new fixed or mobile workstation for your CAD work can be a challenge. First, you need to identify the type of work where you really spend most of your time. For example, do you model simple parts, complex assemblies, or both? Do you do first-pass or complex FEA or structural dynamics analyses?

We have a raging debate here at EvD Media. Harsh words have been spoken. Tears have been shed. And nameless individuals have found themselves sleeping in doghouses and whipping themselves in penitence for “being a meany-head”. The madness must stop, and in order for that to happen, we’re going to have to come to terms with a little gremlin called Product Lifecycle Management (PLM).

3D printers and designers have been doing some fancy footwork recently. The Smithsonian has put out a great article covering several new designs. Here’s my favourite, by Hoon Chung for the London College of Fashion.
