To most people, the things Skylar Tibbits makes at MIT’s Self-Assembly Lab looks like nothing more than scraps of stuff. But where others see bits of wood and swatches of fabric, Tibbits sees robots. Lots and lots of robots. Continue reading “MIT’s Crazy Materials Could Make for Self-Assembling Ikea Furniture”
The First 3-D Printed Metal Furniture Is Here
Earlier this year, we wrote about a groundbreaking new technique called MX3D-Metal. Developed by Dutch designer Joris Laarman and backed by Autodesk, MX3D-Metal makes it possible–for the first time–to affordably 3-D print metal structures. It’s an exciting prospect, given the possibilities: Metal, after all, plays a key role in the infrastructure of buildings and cars. Continue reading “The First 3-D Printed Metal Furniture Is Here”
