The Archeologists Recreated a 2,000 Year Old Pin with the Help of 3D Printing and Scanning

Top 3D Shop corporate blog 3D printers

The jewelry restoration was done with the help of both computer technologies and traditional methods. Wax, clay and bronze were used.

The archeologists restored a jewelry object made in the Iron Age. It was done with the help of digital technologies.

Restoration included scanning of the clay molds that were used for casting bronze in the 1st and 2nd centuries B.C. Original molds found in Cairns, at South Ronaldsay island of Orkney islands, Scotland, were too fragile to use for jewelry. 

Ben Price, a PhD student at the University of the Highlands and Islands, department of Archeology. Around 80 fragments of clay molds were found during the recent excavations of a broch dating back to the Iron Age in Cairns.

Японский дизайн — больше, чем минимализм

Alconost corporate blog Web design *Language localisation *Graphic design *Reading room
Translation

Проблема, с которой я, как дизайнер презентаций, сталкиваюсь чаще всего, — это необходимость втиснуть большой объем информации на минимальное количество слайдов (так хочет клиент) и при этом разместить информацию эстетически привлекательно.

«Это невозможно» — думаю я, переставляя текстовые блоки, словно игрок в Тетрис. Но внезапно мне приходит мысль, что именно в этом преуспели японцы. Просто взгляните на их меню, на их журналы, брошюры или даже на улицы японских городов. 

Тем не менее, когда я ищу в Гугле словосочетание «японский дизайн», всё, что мне выдает поисковик, — это статьи про минимализм в сочетании с фото симметричных садов камней, чайных чашек нейтральных тонов и деревянных интерьеров, в которых могла бы, кажется, жить Мари Кондо.

Почему лишь такой подход является синонимом японского дизайна, если мы говорим о стране, известной одновременно магазинами MUJI и Don Don Donki, дзен-садами и хаотичной рекламой?

Bengbu Hospital Uses 3D Printing for Complex Surgery

Top 3D Shop corporate blog 3D printers

The Bengbu Hospital in the Anhui Province makes use of additive technologies to create medical visuals and guides for vertebrae surgery. Back in 2013, director of orthopedics Niu Guoqi launched the research of 3D printing application for vertebrae, aiming to establish it in-house.

Director Niu’s team and the whole project were the first to apply 3D printing technology for healthcare applications in the Anhui Province. The device they employed was the Raise3D N2 Plus 3D printer from the manufacturer’s very first lineup. The team appears to find it extremely efficient.

“[The Raise3D N2 Plus] printer is the most stable one among all I have tried. The print quality is really good. The surface features of the bone are all recovered in the printed model,” comments Niu Guoqi on the use of the machine in vertebrae surgery, which is one of the most complex and riskiest for doctors.

Metauniverses are here – you just have to know where to look. One of Sber AR/VR Lab projects of 2021

Сбер corporate blog Development for AR and VR *AR and VR

Hi! I am Aleksey Rybakov, Product Owner at Sber ARVR Lab. 

And before telling you what we have achieved, let me explain the meaning of this article’s heading. Or more so, explain the word “metauniverse”. This term was well-described by Mark Zuckerburg: “Metauniverse is internet implemented, where instead of looking at internet, you are inside of it.” Like a parallel universe, which you can enter yourself with AR/VR gadgets or through a 3D-avatar.

In other words, a metauniverse is simultaneously a virtual space and a way of engaging with its objects without the common “screen + keybord/mouse/sensor” medium. 

And yes, metauniverses are here. But to get into one, you’ll need a few things. First, you need to know where to look. We will talk about that later when depicting a curious case in Moscow. Second, you need a technology that will help connect the virtual world with the real one. We will talk about that as well. 

Now, let me introduce: VPS.
