3D printer array can create huge objects in a single print (Tomorrow Daily 338)

2016-03-28
the best speech talk show in the universe I'm Ashley together and I'm Jeff kanata and today is headlines day and of course because it's today we have to start the show talking about hollow portation Microsoft uploaded a video showing off the hololens demo late last week describing it on their dev vlog as quote a new type of 3d capture technology that allows high quality 3d models of people to be reconstructed compressed and transmitted anywhere in the world in real time unquote could this be the future of video call apps like Skype and hangouts I think it might be this is this is Mike TV is what this is this is pretty awesome am i coming in clear I said am i coming in clear that's my kids ask your parents what willy wonka's you're oh yeah it is a little tiny Mike TV and then he shows up in your lair it's amazing so cool I'm excited about it I want a holographic I mean it's it's Star Wars I do any kind of its holograms that you can talk to it's really good stuff speaking of really good stuff yeah Autodesk has a very interesting 3d printing array that is going to enable people to print really big stuff project asure is a network of 3d printers designed to print different pieces of the same item at the same time meaning it could print something large and complicated in a much shorter amount of time than printing out one part at a time the software for project assure splits up the plans into little slices and then gives each slice its own 3d print station that is part of an array so each slice gets printed all at the same time and at the end the result is a fully completed piece so they talk about printing you know rotors and all sorts of really big things even 3d printing a car but then I got to put it together well no it's all done I know but it's in pieces pieces of a thing like really big pieces of stuff and then it's like much less than you know just printing these sort of small things one at a time and it's really neat because you can they said you can scale this huge you can make 50 for 3d printing box that are all part of the same array all printing something at the same time that's pretty amazing I especially like the fact that you can it will cut the printing time down because you you're doing using multiple parentals all at once yeah they said 80 to 90% efficiency improvement which which story should we talk about on Thursday because hollow portation feels it's really cool but I feel like there might be actually more to Futuristics like items and technology in the 3d printing story all right I will I will go with your 3d printing story but I want to be hollow porting immediately if not sooner guys get out your hololens is clearly we all have them don't you 30k for a whole million dogs if you guys want to talk about what we talk about on the show feel free to the hashtag hate TV yeah if you've got a comment about printing large things and you want to be involved in our conversation we'd love to incorporate what you say into our discussion on Thursday so they use that hashtag and be great tell us what massive thing you would 3d print with a giant 3d printing array from autodesk project yeah sure because I'm really curious that's the way you guys come up with I would 3d print a hollow portation device Oh giant robot okay there's that I would just make a hundred foot tall version of Genghis that's literally what I would do all right guys let's talk about our photogra for the day today's photog refer of the day is Aiden who took this on his iPhone 5s and it looks like he use a little panorama mode yeah it's pretty delightful he's see he wrote to us and said hi guys I am Aiden I love your show I took this picture while skiing in northern Minnesota on my iPhone 5s and I totally give you permission to use it in the show and that was uh this looks like a winter wonderland even though it is almost April yeah looks untouched freshly freshly dropped snowpack yeah I bet all those people in the lifts are excited yeah you're like oh I'm gonna get up there I'm gonna ride down the hill how often do you use the pano effect I like it a lot but it's hard to look at them on my phone I have to download them to a computer's yes I it's very hard to look at on your phone and then but I always like to use it in situations like that where it's so clean like a really nice clean panoramic shot there's few things better I agree well done Aidan yeah high fives if you want to send me your photogra feets tomorrow at cnet.com yeah that's where you send it in make sure you tell us what device you took it on give us permission to use it on the show tell us a little story about why you took that particular photo cuz we love hearing about that stuff yeah honestly we might start doing themes we get so much phone tog Rafi I'm we might have to set up some like themes for the month we could do a phone talker for collage of the day yeah it would be kind of fun where we'd be like okay the theme of this month is selfies like chose your best selfie or whatever so actually email us Pandora's box you don't know please send us your ideas for themes for phone tog Rafi because I actually think we could we could we gotta up everyone's game because they're all too good you're saying they're also good yeah that is it for today's show we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new jacket of science fact meetings science fiction gonna be a little et and Elliot no kids ask your parents that's right until then be good human you guys next time bye
