How to Build a Bathroom in About Five Minutes...



About the Music:
The music is by Stella Link, one of my long time favorite bands. I once lived two houses up from where the band would practice and I would sit out on my front porch and listen for hours while they held jam sessions and honed their sound. The name of this track is unknown. It was copied from one of the free sample C.D.'s that they would pass out at their shows downtown. Their MySpace page is still active and is checked occasionaly but their website does not seem to be active any longer. C.D.'s can still be purchased online from various vendors.

About the Video:
Actually, this project took about six months to complete. I was only able to work on it in my free time. This will be an additional bathroom used for the downstairs entertainment room and bar in my home. The video consists of a few thousand pictures, shown for one-tenth of a second each. Every time I watch it, I see something new, including a few friends stopping by, now and then. Pleae forgive me for all of the pictures of my butt, but at least I spared everyone the discomfort of plumber's crack. The camera used was a Nikon CoolPix 8700 digital camera. The video was edited frame by frame using Ulead Video Studio 8.

Thank you so much for watching!

Future of Construction Process: Concrete Printing



Concrete Printing Process developed at Loughborough University in the UK is capable of producing building components with a degree of customisation that has not yet been seen. It could create a new era of architecture that is adapted to the environment and fully integrated with engineering function.

Why Design Now?: Contour Crafting



Why? Contour Crafting is a construction technology that potentially reduces energy use and emissions by using a rapid-prototype or 3-D printing process to fabricate large components. Comprised of robotic arms and extrusion nozzles, a computer-controlled gantry system moves the nozzle back and forth, squeezing out layers of concrete or other material to fabricate a form. The ultimate goal is to print a house in a day while drastically reducing material and energy consumption.

Z Corporation to Showcase New ZBuilder Ultra Plastic Rapid Prototyping System; Affordable, Multicolor ZPrinter 250

Visit Hall 11.0, Stand B112 to See Newest ZPrinters and ZScanners Demonstrated, Hear Real-World Examples of Business Benefits

11/23/10


BURLINGTON, Mass., USA – Z Corporation will demonstrate its latest advances in rapid prototyping and 3D scanning technologies next week at EuroMold 2010, the world fair for moldmaking, tooling, design and application development.
The technologies that will be highlighted include the world’s fastest, most affordable 3D printers, plastic prototyping machines and unique handheld 3D laser scanners. Each offers breakthrough improvements in the speed, ease and quality of product design and development. EuroMold takes place Wednesday, December 1, through Saturday, December 4, in Frankfurt, Germany.
In addition, Peter Hansford, vice president, Z Corporation EMEA will present two real-world case studies, illustrating the business benefits of reducing time and costs using 3D printing, Hydroforming Design Light AB of Vansbro, Sweden and Spirax Sarco Inc. of Blythewood, S.C., USA. December 3, 3:20 PM, Hall 11.0, Booth A128.
In Hall 11.0, Stand B112, Z Corporation will feature:
* The ZPrinter® 250, its newest, most affordable, multicolor 3D printer. The ZPrinter 250 has a small physical footprint and incorporates the speed and many automation features found in Z Corp.’s high-end printers, making it ideal for the classroom, department, or small business.
* The ZBuilder™ Ultra rapid prototyping machine that builds durable plastic parts rivaling injection molding’s accuracy, material properties, detail, and surface finish, at one-third of the price of machines with comparable performance.
* The ZPrinter® 450, a full-color, easy to use, office-friendly 3D printer delivering advanced color, automation and a print speed five to 10 times faster than competing printers.
* The ZScanner® 700 CX, the world’s first handheld 3D laser scanner that can capture surface information in full 24-bit color, rendering the complete picture of an object, not just the geometry.
* Physical 3D models ZPrinted with the new zp®150 build material, which offers richer colors, whiter whites, increased part strength, and the option to cure models with a spritz of water.
Complementing the product demonstrations, Z Corporation will be handing out free samples of multicolor 3D printed models. Z Corporation senior executives will also be on hand to listen to attendees’ product development priorities and discuss which rapid prototyping and 3D scanning technologies can best meet their needs. Z Corporation will offer product information in both German and English.
About Z Corporation
