MakerBot: The 3D Printing Robot


Rocketboom Tech correspondent Ellie Rountree talks to Bre Pettis, and Zach Hoeken about their new company, MakerBot Industries (www.makerbot.com), building open source robot kits that allow you to do rapid prototyping and 3D Printing at home.

Is there any one know a program to design 3D animated cartoon , it must be good and easy ?

It must be easy and don t need me to draw the drawings on paper first and then scan it to the computer .

If u told me about agood pragram to design ( 3D) animated cartoon with my conditions u will get 10 points , believ me .


I want to become a reverse engineer & an ethical hacker, what courses and degrees Should I have to attain ?

as my question tells itself what is my aim of life (Full knowledge in ethical hacking & softwares specially & avoid Hardware please) . I want perfect suggestions from all of you. What should I do After Diploma In Computer science engineering to get SECURITY + CERTIFICATION. Also suggestions for studying outside INDIA are most welcome.


What are the most recent rapid prototyping systems?

Rapid protyping facilities for manufacturing engineering department laboratories are requested.Who are the producers of these systems?


Cole McGrath & Alex Mercer (contains spoilers for Prototype and inFAMOUS games)?

Who cares about which game you like more, which circumstance w/ powers would you want? I think most people would pick Alex for sheer “bad@ssitude”, but Cole would work great in the “real world” where you’d be the only super person, but let’s look at how each was created and what YOU would be if you chose their “origin.”

(! SPOILERS ! SPOILERS !)

Cole got his power from the ray sphere, a device which absorbs bio-energy from thousands of nearby people (killing them and causing a huge blast radius of damage, killing more people), and puts that power, in the form of electricity, into Cole.

Alex was a doctor of genetics that unleashed a deadly virus, but was immediately shot and killed. His freshly dead body fell on top of the virus, which took over and copied Alex’s body done to the genetic level, so it “thinks” it is Alex, with no memory. The character is a virus wearing the genes, body, and personality of a dead man.

Cole can use electricity for top human speed, climbing, strength and overall athletics, but Alex is Hulk-strong and durable. Both have rapid healing, but Alex can shapeshift, absorb the mass of others into himself, taking their abilities memories and looks. Alex can change into a humanoid with a tank shell, blade arms, claws, or a shield arm. Cole can shoot lightning, absorb and generate electricity, bind people with electrical “rope”, heal physical damage, absorb the memories of the recently deceased, electro glide (Alex can glide too), send a wave of electricity which damages as well as throws everything in its path up in the air, and he can throw timed charged electric grenades.

Anyway, if you pick Cole, you’d have to kill thousands of people, but if you chose Alex, you would not be YOU. You’d wake up with amnesia, with your personality but no clue who you were, a virus inside the shell of your former self.

I gues you could detonate the ray shere near a huge prison, or in a country that is a USA enemy. And I guess you could record hours and hours of video tape, recordings and journals to give your self after you are killed and exposed to the virus in an airlock to keep it contained just to you. that way when “you” wake up with no memory, your recordings could reorintate you to your new life.

Whatever, pick one and say why…


E01 – Polyjet – Additive Technologies (Rapid Prototyping)


This is Episode 1 of a series of video blogs on Additive Technologies (also known as Rapid Prototyping). Today we’re looking at the Multi-Material Polyjet machines which can mix both rigid and soft materials together on the fly to grow parts that simulate over-molding and other complex applications. This process is great for small to medium sized parts (it’s not always cost effective for large parts) and is often used for a variety of prototyping applications (the material is not usually suited for end-use applications), creating a direct tool for a silicone mold, and investment casting.

Any way to convert a jet/laser printer into a 3d one?

I have been always interested in making a 3d printer. However, all the sites I have found say you will have to pay $2000+ for supplies to build it. Is there anyway I can use a laser printer or ink printer I have already and “transform” it into a working, 3d one?!? Thanks.
It also has to be CHEAP


Visual Basic: Reverse engineer a file based database? ?

I purchased a PC program used for NFL handicapping. It came with historical data going way back to 2001. I am a techie at heart and would like to experiment with my own formulas and use the raw statistical data that came with the program but it appears to be in a proprietary or encrypted format. There is one file for each years’ worth of statistics named with a “.nfl” extension. I tried opening the files with a binary editor but the data is completely unrecognizable. It is a VB application.

Is anyone aware of a flat file based database used by Visual Basic that may be being utilized here? Any suggestion on how to reverse engineer the data files? Or is it possible the data is encrypted, in which case it would be virtually impossible to decrypt?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
