Music and 3D printing, two things that are very close to my heart. Sheila Munro of Dropping Form Design is now selling her 3D printed flute in “Antique Bronze Glossy” through her Shapeways shop. Called a Shakuhachi Flute, it’s beautifully embroidered and grained. From the picture, it’s tough to even tell if it was 3D printed or hand-carved.

Actually, who cares about product development at this point. You’ll be the DJ, up in the front of your office as people tear off their blazers and patent leather loafers.
DJ Pablo Martin has launched a new MIDI multitouch controller called Emulator. The multitouch screen you’ll see is called Token and developed by Yöyen Munchausen out of Chile. Emulator is created to work on Windows7 and the best capacitive touch screen you can find. After that, it’s all up to you, your fly hat and and a dope mix to make all the party people say “yooooo!!!”
Coffee. 3D. Headphones. The purest ingredients in the day-to-day dance-off between your brain and that 3D geometry jittering to the succulent sound-waves in your ears. Oh yeeaah. You are in the groove.
So are a slew of other people you may know of. Thanks to the relationship between Facebook and Pandora a few weeks ago, you can now see what your Facebook friends are listening to on your Pandora Radio interface. You can even listen along, or make fun of them for bookmarking Morrissey.
You can learn about a lot a person by what music they listen to. Namely, how cool they are. Here are 15 people in the CAD industry scene, that I’m friends with (till they see that I’ve posted this), and the music they listen to while livin’, workin’ and groovin’ to the beat.
I know you love a good sing-a-long. Who doesn’t in this day and age. You can make any economic condition seem less dreary with a little smile, a song and perhaps some heavy sedation.
The fa-la-la duo They Might Be Gaints has some sing-alongs that rival any after-school special. Their latest is called Here Comes Science and just let me say, it will open your mind and imagination to unknown depths of.. the deep… and stuff. You should be able to relate to this one. It’s called Computer Assisted Design. Ring a bell or two?
You can strum all day long and wear down the clearcoat on the wooden body of your regular old guitar, or you can be awesome and check out the humidity-proof, carbon fiber Blackbird Rider from Blackbird Guitars.
Picking out tunes can be done in either Steel or Nylon String flavors and you’ll have the added cool factor that it was completely designed in SolidWorks to handle those brawly hours of road travel and create a sound that is simply beautiful.
So, leave your classic in the case and check out these pics and video.
