We’ve added something new to our lineup of customizable products: jigsaw puzzles! You can now make a plywood puzzle with your art in any size and shape you want. Just […]
morphogenesis – work in progress
Finally, we have some progress to share on something we’ve been working on for a long time! This project focuses on the differential growth of surfaces and was inspired by […]
Nervous System at Solid
Nervous System is headed to San Francisco to exhibit at O’Reilly’s Solid, a new conference focusing on innovation at the intersection of hardware and software. We’re collaborating with Body Labs […]
Kinematics
Kinematics is a system for 4D printing that creates complex, foldable forms composed of articulated modules. The system provides a way to turn any three-dimensional shape into a flexible structure […]
The Making of Kinematics
Most of our projects start with a natural inspiration, but Kinematics emerged from a very different perspective. This project started with a technical problem: how can we create large objects […]
Calculating the volume of a mesh
In order to generate the price of a custom design on the fly, we need to calculate the volume of the piece for 3d printing. By constantly updating the volume, […]
Folium – a new algorithmic jewelry series
Folium is a generative jewelry series inspired by the algorithmic structures of plants and algae. Each Folium design is one of a kind, a specimen of a new hypothetical plant […]
Data structures: Pairing Heap
Recently, I came across a neat data structure called a pairing heap. Now, if you’re not familiar with the term heap it can sound confusing. That’s because it doesn’t mean much. […]
