Check out our YouTube video of our Fanuc S-430iW robot cutting parts for a pergola project at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKwHyAEuRgQ

We just finished providing the strut components for the large pyramid on top of the new BIM (Building Information Modeling) office building by Davis Carter Scott Architects at 1812 North Moore Street in Rosslyn, VA. Our client is American Iron Works in Hyattsville, MD.

As we begin to publish our current work on the blog we will be sharing non-proprietary work with our readers. The link below will let you view our .easm drawings and any DXf or DWG drawings you may come across. It’s easy to download however, you do need to hand over some info on your self; AND SolidWorks Corp WILL email you on OCCASION to see if you need an updated ($$$) CAD viewer, but we think it’s worth having it because you can rotate, explode, section, pull measurements, etc. the SolidWorks models we will be publishing.

I wanted to share this nice letter we received today from the Foggy Bottom Association in Washington, DC. It nicely demonstrates the synergy and community building that occurs when large scale sculpture is introduced into a neighborhood setting. It is a pleasure to serve on the advisory board of the Foggy Bottom Sculpture Biennial and I am looking forward to our 2012 Exhibition.

Our next ‘placemaker’ project is another temporary show slated for this spring in Maple Lawn, Maryland, a mixed use development community recently founded by Stuart Greenebaum of Greenebaum & Rose Associates, Inc. We’ll blog the updates as they occur.

Blogging from a meeting with Tom Schreiber about the Media dimension of 3DMP. Got some good video to share and learning how to provide that type of information to you: the interested parties.

Uploading the robot demo next!

A friend came by the lab today and we talked about this quote of Buckminster Fuller’s “…we can make all of humanity successful through science’s world-engulfing industrial evolution provided that we are not so foolish as to continue to exhaust in a split second of astronomical history the orderly energy savings of billions of years’ energy conservation aboard our Spaceship Earth. These energy savings have been put into our Spaceship’s life-regeneration-guaranteeing bank account for use only in self-starter functions.”
