How Accurate is the CALIBRY MINI?

Top 3D Shop corporate blog 3D printers

This article will cover how the accuracy tests of the Calibry Mini were conducted. 

The Calibry Mini by Thor3D is stated to feature an accuracy of up to 0.07 mm (0.0027 inch). What exactly does this mean? This means that under the normal conditions, the deviation in measurements of any single point can be 70 microns in any direction. This doesn’t mean that the deviation will always be 70 microns. It can be smaller, it can be bigger. The number is approximate and can vary depending on several factors that will be mentioned in the article.

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?
