Build your own IPOD using a "Build Anything" machine

04-12-2007, 09:55 PM

Damn! The domain "fabber.com" is already taken.

Synopsis: You can build at home a machine that will build other devices. They are called 3D Printers. It is relatively cheap and you can get plans for devices that the machine will build off the Internet.

Example: I'd like a new IPod-like device for my nephew. I download the plans off the Net. Feed it into my 3D Printer. Feed it parts it needs. Parts are created and assembled. Done.

Anyway, interesting parallels between this and early homebuilt 'proto-PCs' like the Altair.

Enjoy.

From the article:

Commercial machines can't be modified, which, Lipson says, impedes the progress of the technology, but the Fab@Home is "open source." Anyone can download the plans at http://www.fabathome.org, which is getting about 20,000 hits a day.

The way things are going with gene silencing and stem cells, the day of organ generation is sooner than we think. No organ rejection. Full compatibility. No more waiting for a donor.

That's what I try to do. Share interesting stuff that is NOT drama, "would you hit it", or similar material.

Their machine is definitely cool, and fairly practical to build, but it's basically just a crude 3d printer

It can basically make plastic parts out of a single material based on a 3d file. Definitely cool though, but we're very far off (decades probably) before something could, in a practical way build other machines/electronic devices from raw materials - this just makes a single part (like a "lego tire") and probably takes many hours just to do that

still, I wish I had one. good article
