MakerBot Design Series: The Drone - Core77

MakerBot Design Series: The Drone - Core77 | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
This story is part two of MakerBot's series of design studies, exploring iterative design and the relationship between designers and their tools. 

You've probably taken something apart just to see how it works. Maybe you fixed it, maybe you marveled at the ingenuity of the design, but something about it was fascinating.


I had this experience recently with a micro drone. It flies surprisingly well, has a camera, and even some stabilization features. With my curiosity getting the better of me, I decided to take it apart and reverse engineer it to create my own 3D printed design.

MakerBot Design Series: The Bike Saddle

MakerBot Design Series: The Bike Saddle | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it
This story from industrial designer Felipe Castaneda is part one of MakerBot's series of design studies, exploring iterative design and the relationship between designers and their tools.
Bikes are amazing machines. They’re simple yet complex; a perfect symbol for the intersection of form and function. For over a century, that beauty has drawn the attention of designers and engineers looking to leave their mark on the bicycle’s legacy.

I’m one of those designers teetering on the edge of full-blown bike obsession – so I set out to design my own custom bike saddle. This resulting sprint is an excellent example of how to go from idea, to sketch, to CAD, to 3D printing – all in a weekend.
