The Scribit Vertical Plotter Draws and Erases On Your Wall, Turning It Into a Huge Screen
Hang it from two nails and you've got CNC graffiti
By Rain Noe - Oct 11, 2018
Scribit is a vertical plotter that you hang, using wire, from two nails placed in your wall. After telling the device (via smartphone or computer) what the precise distance is between the nails, it can now draw on your wall, from files that you feed it, with accuracy.

Scribit was successfully crowdfunded earlier this year, and you can still pre-order one here. They aim to begin shipping the first models in January of 2019.

Skidmore, Owings & Merrill Re-Thinks the Wall, Teams Up with U.S. Army to Advance 3D-Printed Buildings
An innovative, funky shape leads to a faster, safer building
When there's a natural disaster and our government is paying attention, we send scores of physically-fit, militarily-trained young men and women to the site to render assistance. This is a logistically massive task. For starters, all of those men and women need a place to sleep in between shifts. Tents

Wicked Footage (and Sound) of High Speed Laser Engraving
This incredible clip of high-speed laser engraving is gaining steam on Reddit: Of course there's no attribution, so I can't credit the company nor machine. But poking around on YouTube turns up similar videos from another high speed laser engraver, by a company called Z-Tech Lasers, and these

Disney Research's "Mechanical Characterization of Structured Sheet Materials"
Disney Research has come up with a design/fabrication aid sexily named "Mechanical Characterization of Structured Sheet Materials." What they've done is create a variety of lattices based on different isohedral (i.e. tiled) patterns... ...and observed the differences in each pattern's range of movement when stretched. They then came up with

Sponsored Post: MakerBot Design Series: The 3D Printed Skateboard
We started this design series taking a look at iterative design with bikes, and now we're ready to shift gears (hah!) to tackle an increasingly popular and more radical form of transportation: the skateboard. There's a long history of 3D printed skateboards online, from the daredevils at Braille Skateboarding who will skate absolutely anything to the early board designs on Thingiverse, but it wasn't until we joined Frog's skateboard challenge that I committed to designing a functional 3D printed
