Night at the Museum DIY Dinosaur Skeletons

3331188337_91f2aa3319_o

Growing up, the natural history museum was definitely one of our favorite places to visit. Even as adults, the fascination with poised skeletons of magnificent creatures lives on and continues to spark the imagination.

With the help of our Full Spectrum laser cutter, Shapeoko 2 precision mill (for small to medium size) or our blackFoot CNC router (for larger ones), you can actually make your own models. Relive your childhood dream of spending a night at the museum and what better way to do it than to make a T-Rex, Triceratops, Pterodactyl, Velociraptor, or “Whatever”saur skeleton—as a gift for a little one or as an unique piece of decor for your office or home.

Exocarp Chair by Guillermo Bernal

Exocarp_01

Digital fabrication designer Guillermo Bernal holds an architecture degree from Pratt but spends his day cranking out complex and fascinating work using his specialties of parametric design.  The chair is made using algorithmic design and a 3-axis CNC mill on three sheets of birch plywood. The results show incredible amounts of texture and dimension without even having to touch it.bernalcncmillchair

WikiHouse – Just Add CNC

wikihouse_1_m

WikiHouse is an open source construction set. The aim is to allow anyone to design, download and ‘print’ CNC-routed houses and components that can be easily assembled with minimal formal skill or training.

We really like the open source design aspect of this project and can’t wait to download and “print” some wikiHouse modules of our own using the blackFoot CNC router.
