Build a laser-cut bus in 43 seconds!

WoodMarvels — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 08:06:50 +0000

WoodMarvels.com has just released an animation showing the assembly of a laser-cut bus that gets assembled in less than 43 seconds!

With close to 200 laser-cut, on demand projects to choose from, WoodMarvels.com has grown to become the largest provider of laser cut products in the woodworking industry thanks to an association with Ponoko.com. All projects are available as either blueprints (which you can cut yourself), laser-cut templates or pre-cut (with laser of course) kits. Another industry first, it has also begun producing custom soundtracks to accompany the 3D assembly animations.

House of Cards

lasergeek — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:03:43 +0000

Radiohead just released a new video for its song “House of Cards” from the album “In Rainbows”.

No cameras or lights were used. Instead two technologies were used to capture 3D images: Geometric Informatics and Velodyne LIDAR. Geometric Informatics scanning systems produce structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a Velodyne Lidar system that uses multiple lasers is used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In this video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.

Watch the making-of video to learn about how the video was made and the various technologies that were used to capture and render 3D data.

The Graffiti Laser

lasergeek — Sun, 04 May 2008 21:29:36 +0000

Australian artist Chris Poole has DIYed a different kind of laser graffiti device, compared to Graffiti Research Lab’s, as reported by Popular Science.

How it Works

BRIGHTNESS: The laser uses about 60 milliwatts, which can project an image up to 100 feet away, but Poole could easily substitute a laser with a range of as much as 400 feet.

FOCUS: By moving the salvaged camera lens—the last part that the laser shines through—forward or back, Poole can easily adjust the focus of the projected picture.

PORTABILITY: Poole can rejigger the parts to fit into a small case. The light bounces between a set of mirrors, then through the slide, a camera lens, and a hole cut into one side. He hasn’t used it much, however, since he’s been told it looks like a suitcase bomb.
