finally the MAC version has arrived! Good price, good product! scripting with Python, no grasshopper so far. But all of this will updatet for free the next months. get it -> http://rhino-experts.de/

Not long ago, robots were largely confined to books and movies. Then they started showing up on YouTube, and robot fear became a viral thing. There was that terrifying video of a Boston Dynamics robot wearing fatigues and gas mask.

CNC mills live in shops, and power tools are things you can carry around. That's been the paradigm. But building on their successful 17 years of producing and refining CNC mills, ShopBot Tools has now combined the two worlds with their new, portable, crowdfunded Handibot. (The Kickstarter campaign went live about fifteen minutes ago.) The Handibot is what they're calling a "smart tool," and it's essentially a 3-axis CNC mill that you can carry (and run via PC, tablet Via Roberto S L Naboni

had been waiting for this technique to be developed! Finally precise milling is loosing it's machine-bound limitations!

The color information of the wood sample images are translated from the spatial domain into the frequency domain by applying a Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT). Regularly reappearing features of the image are captured and described by their wave length, amplitude, and phase angle. By crossing over high and low frequencies from different inputs, by flipping rows to create new symmetry relationships or by applying filters, new and somewhat intriguing kinds of meta-wood are being synthesized following a hidden musical score. The results are not just mirrored but interwoven, not perfectly symmetrical but a bit like a piece of wood cut open and the two halves put side by side – similar but not equal.
