thirty seconds and counting after nights before that feels good t-minus 25 seconds 20 seconds and counting t-minus 15 seconds guidance is eternal one two six one my name's Dan Campbell I'm an aerospace research engineer at Aurora flight sciences and this is the world's first 3d printed jet-powered aircraft our goal with this project was to show the aerospace industry how quickly you can go from designing building and flying a 3d printed jet-powered aircraft my name is James Berlin I'm an additive manufacturing research engineer at strategy aurora flight sciences is really pushing the boundaries of what's possible with flight Stratos is on the other hand is pushing the boundaries of what's possible with additive manufacturing so it's really a great relationship recently we decided to really see how far we could push the envelope no one has 3d printed in aircraft this big this fast and this complex Stratasys 3d printing can address these challenges through design freedom design freedom can help number one with weight so reducing the weight of components to meet stricter fuel requirements and also by creating components that have higher levels of functionality or higher levels of complexity than what's otherwise possible with other technologies one of the things this aircraft represents is the ability to make a mission specific aircraft we can really create an aircraft that's designed to do one specific thing because the cost of producing a one-off aircraft with additive manufacturing is significantly less than with other traditional manufacturing processes just as much as cost or saving on schedule I think that's really where the technology shine we're talking about a schedule that's half the design and build time of additional manufacturing methods the design process was completely collaborative so there was weekly design reviews there's a lot of back and forth the stratasys grab cast system allows us to manage the CAD models to communicate back and forth these line changes we're able the real-time track things like wait how components fit together and how different portions of the airplane will come along some of the more functional components took up to 20 iterations they get right so in terms of time for making it iteration because we're updating a digital inventory it's a matter of simply replacing the CAD file this aircraft is 80 percent 3d printed by weight 100 percent of the parts I work for an anomalous aircraft were either printed at Stratasys or printed by Stratasys technologies their craft is about 30 pounds as a 9-foot wingspan jet engine capable of around 150 miles per hour this aircraft is made primarily out of FDM aasa' they're more plastic there are also LS parts so the fuel think for example is made from no less and the nozzle the exhaust nozzle is made from DMLs it's actually inconel material in the future 3d printing will allow the aerospace industries to build more affordable aircraft to build more aircraft specific to certain missions really allow the industry to be more agile and with Stratasys you can tell that's part of their culture you it's a revelation it's a vision of the future of mobility not only tumor on your card like an inferior for extra components it's really an airless tire wears a tie without pressure the second aspect which is a connectivity ecosystem we can help the consumer in a journey giving information to the tire to avatar in need in terms of safety and mobility and the last part which is really really revolution it's a biodegradable tread that can be recharged with a 3d printer on demand this is beautiful as the nature this inspires I'm Clint O'Connor and Penhall a Kickstarter project I have a passion for pinhole photography a deduct man the visual impact of images always been very important to me I love the unique perspective of pinhole camera and analog quality of film this is the simplest possible form of photography that are nothing more than a box but the hole on one end and film on the others I've taken ten whole picture the far north of Labrador and candidate and a far solitude Antarctica question a I've done trouble design projects project using my 3d please and I thought this would be a great way to do it again and Berrigan usually depend on camera 3d pointing offers a way to produce go deep in Hall camera well definitely tells us to get a reasonable place and so called your cell latex technology to produce something so simple for those of you who view cameras before this will give you a different perspective on life and art and those have for those of Europe growing up with only digital cameras the camera will take you back to an earlier time and give you a new way to look upon the world I've been using one of prints prototype pinhole camera whilst on vacation I have never used stone before but this camera is so easy to you I usually use my iPhone and I usually upload photos onto Instagram and use the filters on there to achieve interesting results but in fact this is the real deal I want to show you some of the pictures that I have taken on this and I also want to show you how easy the fifteen years first you unwind at school you insert it into the camera like this put the lid on and attached eve of the family there are some pictures that we took with the camera I need your help to finalize the design and portability of the camels and to went to enough film to read about the exposure tables we will need to take pictures with it like well I would like there to do you and your children here the magic would be a point kind of help and hold photography and the bygone era of film thank you for listening to my pitch you
