Dr. Heidi Kraus of the Hope College art faculty is one of a select group of faculty members nationwide chosen by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) to participate in a special week-long seminar on teaching European art in context.
Kraus, who is an assistant professor of art and director of the De Pree gallery, is among 21 faculty from around the country who will be participating in the seminar "Dutch Art, Patrons, and Markets," which will take place at the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, Ga., on Sunday-Friday, June 23-28.
The seminar aims to strengthen the teaching of art history to undergraduates at smaller colleges and universities. Catherine Scallen, chair of the Department of Art History and Art at Case Western University in Cleveland, Ohio, will lead the program.
The seminar will be held in conjunction with an exhibition of rare traveling masterpieces of Dutch art featuring works by Vermeer, Hals and Rembrandt. The exhibition, "Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis," will be on view at the High Museum beginning in June.
Kraus joined the Hope faculty this past fall. Her scholarly and teaching emphasis is on Modern and Contemporary art history.
She received her doctorate in 2010 from The University of Iowa, where her research focused on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century French art and architecture. She has published in "Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture," published by The Johns Hopkins University Press, and recently co-curated an exhibition at The University of Iowa titled "Napoleon and the Art of Propaganda." In addition, she has presented her research at numerous conferences both in the United States and internationally, including the College Art Association Annual Conference and the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies Annual Meeting.
The Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) is an association of 645 nonprofit independent colleges and universities and more than 90 higher education organizations that has worked since 1956 to support college and university leadership, advance institutional excellence, and enhance public understanding of private higher education's contributions to society. CIC is the major national organization that focuses on providing services to leaders of independent colleges and universities as well as conferences, seminars, and other programs that help institutions to improve the quality of education, administrative and financial performance, and institutional visibility. CIC also provides support to state fundraising associations that organize programs and generate contributions for private colleges and universities. The Council is headquartered at One Dupont Circle in Washington, D.C.
The High Museum of Art was founded in 1905 as the Atlanta Art Association and today is the leading art museum in the southeastern United States, with a membership base of over 50,000 that ranks it among the top 10 art museums in the nation. Located in Atlanta's midtown arts and business district, the High has more than 12,000 works of art in its permanent collection, with holdings and curatorial positions in the following art disciplines: American, European, decorative arts and design, folk, modern and contemporary, and African. The European collection includes the Kress collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts.

Looking For Feedback On IT Innovation Resources
Closed: 30 May 2010, 11:59PM PT
As you know, we've been running the ITInnovation.com tab within Techdirt since last year, sponsored by Sun (now Oracle) and Intel. We've had a series of fascinating discussions within blog posts and webinars during that time. We've also continued to regularly refresh the IT Innovation Resource Center, which includes a rotating list of useful tools and white papers provided either by us or the sponsors of IT Innovation.
We'd like to get some feedback and insight into the quality of these resources and how they might be improved upon. Listed below are six currently available white papers in the Resource Center. If you are familiar with these topics (i.e., you work in IT), please review the white papers and write up your insights and comments on the whitepapers: what's good about them, what could be improved, what would make them more useful, etc. You are free to provide insights on as many of the white papers as you would like, but we ask that you submit insights on each white paper as a separate insight, rather than combining them into a single response.
- Best Practices for Managing Datacenter Costs via Application and Server Consolidation
Server sprawl, software licensing fees, and facilities costs are sending datacenter operational expenses through the roof at a time when every penny is being scrutinized. As a result, low utilization rates and wasted power/cooling resources are no longer acceptable, and smart companies are looking to consolidation and virtualization to trim expenses and increase operating efficiency.
- Why Solid-State Drives Usage Scenarios Are Expanding for the Datacenter
To accomplish the objectives of making more-efficient use of IT resources, lowering power consumption, and reducing operating expenses, many companies are turning to server consolidation and virtualization efforts—endeavors that increase server CPU utilization and reduce the number of discrete servers in a datacenter.
- The New Economics of Midsize Enterprise Computing: Oracle's Sun Systems Based on the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series
Midsize companies often face the same competitive pressures as large-scale enterprises. However, they may not possess the resources and staff to invest heavily in complex computing systems. Yet it's critical for IT organizations within these companies to ensure that they have the strongest, most expandable systems in place, so that their companies have the requisite flexibility to adapt quickly to changing market conditions, roll out new products and services in shorter cycles, and become more effective competitors.
- New Blades and Networking Solutions Ensure Solid Return on Investment
Traditionally, when companies need more computing power to deal with expanding amounts of data, they increase the number of servers, the number of compute cores per server, and the memory capacity of each server. Today's high-powered blade servers save space and help enable significant gains in computing performance, especially when workloads are consolidated efficiently and datacenter resources are utilized most effectively. To accommodate this increase in capacity, however, the network infrastructure carrying the data must also be upgraded.
- Reassessing Server Costs for Midsize Companies
Most companies keep their servers for three to five years—a time frame that seems reasonable given current economic conditions. Despite the savings this would seem to imply, however, extending server life in the datacenter in this way may not be the best strategy, even in the toughest economic times.
- Oracle Solaris Operating System — Optimized for the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 and 7500 series
This document is intended as a technical guide for developers and system administrators that want to understand the precise details of how Oracle® Solaris and the Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 and 7500 series can improve your application solution environment.

SOCORRO, N.M., November 24, 2003 – New Mexico Tech has added two new graduate degree programs to its science and engineering curricula — a master of science degree in electrical engineering and a doctoral program in applied and industrial mathematics.
"These new graduate degree programs have been successfully validated through an intensive two-year review and approval process, which culminated last month with the unanimous approval of both programs by the New Mexico Commission on Higher Education and the State Board of Finance," says Peter F. Gerity, vice president for academic affairs at New Mexico Tech.
"We believe these new programs will strengthen New Mexico Tech's academic offering portfolio and will greatly augment our research capacity in these areas of high growth," Gerity adds.
The new graduate degree programs at New Mexico Tech are notably different than other seemingly similar offerings at other universities, says David B. Johnson, Tech's dean of graduate studies.
"Both of these new programs are strongly interdisciplinary in structure, and both will be able to draw heavily on the unique resources available through collaborations with the university's various research organizations and facilities," Johnson explains.
Courses leading up to fulfilling the requirements of the new graduate degree programs will be offered as early as the upcoming 2004 Spring Semester at New Mexico Tech, with as many as three doctoral candidates and five to ten master's level graduate students expected to enroll at the onset, according to a recent report presented by Vice President Gerity to the New Mexico Tech Board of Regents.
"In fact, there are several master of science students in similar engineering programs who have been taking courses at Tech in anticipation of the approval of the electrical engineering master's degree," Johnson says. "Some of these graduate students will likely transfer into the new electrical engineering program as soon as it starts up."
"The obvious benefit to New Mexico Tech electrical engineering students is that there now can be Tech graduate electrical engineering students," says Scott Teare, an associate professor of electrical engineering at New Mexico Tech who led the effort to gain the new graduate degree program in his department.
"Until now, graduates from Tech's electrical engineering B.S. program would have to either leave the school — which often meant leaving the state — or switch into other existing graduate programs in order to continue their research with electrical engineering professors," Teare recounts. "Some of our recent students have gone on to pursue their graduate education with the Tech physics, mechanical engineering, and computer science departments; and, of course, we are grateful to the faculty of these departments for having supported our efforts over the past years. However, it was becoming very apparent that these electrical engineering students needed to have a graduate program of their own."
The doctoral program in applied and industrial mathematics also is expected to draw its initial pool of candidates from current New Mexico Tech students.
"Although there are two other existing math Ph.D. programs in the state, there is no other program in applied and industrial mathematics," says William Stone, professor of mathematics and chairman of the mathematics department at New Mexico Tech.
"Our main goal with the new doctoral program is to produce Ph.D.-level researchers, who are well-prepared to work in industrial research and development groups, rather than producing math faculty candidates," he clarifies. "The Ph.D.s who graduate from this new program will have strengths in modeling and analysis, as well as with working with researchers in various other fields."
As is the case with all of New Mexico Tech's science and engineering degree programs, the new graduate degree programs also will have a strong research component ingrained into them.
"The uniqueness of our electrical engineering graduate program is its strong ties to the research and technical facilities affiliated with our university, the immediate Socorro area, and our educational partners," Teare points out. "These include our on-campus research associates, such as the Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center, the Institute for Complex Additive Systems Analysis, IRIS/PASSCAL, Langmuir Laboratory, Magdalena Ridge Observatory, and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, as well as our off-campus educational partners, such as the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division in China Lake, California, and the Air Force Research Lab in Albuquerque."
"Many of the specialized research groups at Tech also have a real need for math researchers," Stone adds. "The expertise provided by this new program will help these groups — who hire many students and graduates — prosper. The improved research atmosphere will help keep the math faculty here at Tech excited and on top of their fields.
"Furthermore, we sometimes have good prospective master's students in math who choose to go elsewhere because they think they may eventually want to continue on to the Ph.D. level. . . . This new doctoral program will allow us to bring more of these students to Tech," Stone says.
"It would be something of an understatement to say that the approval process for graduate degrees in New Mexico is fairly involved," Johnson relates.
"The electrical engineering and mathematics departments have put an enormous amount of work into preparing and defending these proposals," the Tech dean of graduate studies says. "In one case, the process extended for over three years, so I'm certain that there were times when some despaired of the outcome, but no one considered giving up.
"Even if it had been considered, it was never an option," Johnson says. "These programs are that critical to the mission of New Mexico Tech."

Making Your Own Curtains: Easy Instructions from Across the Web
As any fan of interior design knows, curtains are one of the easiest ways to give a room a face-lift. They have the power to instantly brighten or soften a room, and I love using them to inject drama and pattern into a space. But pre-made panels can often be cost prohibitive or an improper fit for oddly sized windows, and that's when DIYing comes in.
Here are some online tutorials that will get you sewing (or no-sewing, as the case may be) in no time. And to further customize your curtains, think of combining several of the techniques discussed below; for example, use the no-sew technique with striped drapery or the bed-sheet method with the rod-and-pocket construction.
Rod and Pocket Curtains:
• Adventures in Dressmaking
• Design Sponge
No-Sew, with Curtain Clips:

This past August, I was fortunate to spend time with many of our industry's up-and-coming leaders while teaching at the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) Institute for Professional Club Management in Wellesley, MA.
Most of the leaders, from the regional hospital manager to the enthusiastic new general manager to the visionary entrepreneurs, all had passion and enthusiasm at their core. In a group where the average person's experience level was at least 12 years, a passion for learning and enthusiasm for our industry stood out.
Most people wouldn't connect those attributes with a job, but employment experts say they are exactly what are needed for a successful career. Gregory D. Hayes, executive director of the career services center at the University of Dayton, says, "Passion is important because in any job, you have to be persuasive."
Show your passion at your clubs by talking about your experience, education and skills with a clear love of what you do and want to do. Club owners want to hire people who feel as passionately as they do about their work. Enthusiasm helps make connections with others, whether we're selling a membership or training a new employee. It changes a lackluster salesperson into a top producer, a sluggish employee into a team leader and a tense environment into an energized workplace. I observed this first-hand in this group of more than 60 industry veterans, 90 percent of whom clearly demonstrated the drive, motivation and energy to continue to help our industry grow.
Remember that enthusiasm produces — and inspires — confidence. It puts a spring in our step and in our communication with others. We like to be around people who are enthusiastic. Extend that enthusiasm into your organization, your club and your services.
Keep asking yourself these powerful questions: What do I get fired up about? My job? The growth of my business? My services? Mentoring others? Watching employees develop and flourish?
Answering these questions might take some deep thought. The answers are critical. Connecting with those deep passions wakes us up, makes us feel fully alive and attracts others to us.
We might suspect that we really don't like running the business, or that we, at heart, think the guy next door has something better. Remember that most of the new growth in this industry will come from non-exercisers looking for help and guidance — not just access to a piece of equipment. The IHRSA study "Why They Don't Join" states intimidation is still the No. 1 reason that non-exercisers do not join a health club. The study says that members want to focus on maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle rather than on an "ideal" body weight or type. We need to make exercising in our facilities fun.
As an industry, we have an opportunity to affect everyone's life in a positive way. We need to position our clubs as a fun, vital health resource for our entire community. Consumers will spend more money today than ever before but only when they see value. People are willing to pay higher rates only when they understand how different one club is from all the other clubs out there and appreciate the value.
To successfully sell value instead of price, we need to have proven systems of sales, service and retention in place that can positively affect long-term growth. To communicate this to our community, we need passion and enthusiasm. Provide your customers an experience that is consistently positive and full of enthusiasm, and your business will thrive.
Ed Tock is a partner in Sales Makers, a marketing and sales training consulting firm that has worked with more than 1,000 clubs and won the IHRSA Associate of the Year award. He can be reached at 800-428-3334 or email@example.com.

FIRST Robotics Team Sponsored by Clarkson University Advances to Championship
Amanda Clapper '14 grew up playing sports and has been in competitions of all kinds, including soccer games and swimming matches.
None of it compares to the intensity of a FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), according to Clapper, an environmental engineering major and robotics team leader.
"The kids who are at these events have more energy and are more excited to be there than kids I've seen at sporting events. No matter what, it's a bunch of fun," Clapper, an environmental engineering major, said. "It's always a standing ovation when someone wins something."
One of the two FIRST teams sponsored by Clarkson, Team 4124, was a regional winner at the BAE Systems/Granite State Regional in Manchester, N.H., on March 2 and will advance to The FRC Championship in St. Louis, Mo., in April.
A team of 25 Clarkson undergraduates serve as mentors for approximately 50 high school students from the Salmon River and Massena central school districts as they design, build, program, test and prepare a human-sized robot for competition over the course of six weeks.
This year's FIRST Robotics Competition game, "Ultimate Ascent," involved robots competing in alliances of three-on- three on a 27-by-54-foot field over two days of qualifying and elimination matches. The goal was for each robot trio to shoot as many Frisbees as possible into their scoring zones within two minutes and 15 seconds; 45 teams from across the US and Canada competed at the Manchester Regional.
The robots had to navigate through the opposing alliance, which would attempt to block their Frisbee shots. The competition includes an "autonomous" period where the robots are programmed to score on their own and a "teleoperator" period where the robots are controlled remotely by the high school students.
"Many things are happening in real time," said Team Advisor and Clarkson University Associate Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering James J. Carroll. "A lot of quick decisions have to be made in coordination with your alliance partners in order to successfully play the game."
Clarkson's other FIRST team, Team 229, made it to the quarterfinal round at Manchester. That team will have another chance to win at the Boston Regional later this month and could also advance to the Championship Event in St. Louis.
"Win or lose, the resulting experience is invaluable for exposing high school students to exciting science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) concepts while developing a strong sense of civic responsibility and leadership skills among Clarkson student mentors," said Carroll. He also credits Massena and Salmon River robotics team coaches Steve Robert and Darcie Fregoe for their active participation in the program as a major factor in the teams' success.
Libby Kamen '13, a former team leader, said the FIRST experience doesn't just expose high school students to the STEM disciplines. It also opens them to the possibilities of life and education after high school. Massena and Salmon River students have many opportunities to experience the Clarkson campus during their time on the FIRST team.
"We're able to teach them about engineering and teamwork," Kamen said. "But we're also able to show them that a college education is something they can obtain and aspire to."
Clarkson's FIRST Robotics teams are part of the SPEED (Student Projects for Engineering Experience & Design) program, one of the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering hallmark initiatives, exemplifying Clarkson's "defy convention" approach to education.
SPEED promotes multidisciplinary, project-based learning opportunities for more than 350 undergraduates annually. Projects involve engineering design, analysis, and fabrication. In addition, students learn real-world business skills, such as budget management, effective teamwork, and communications skills.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

Energy Efficiency
HVAC = Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning; CHP = Combined Heat & Power
The Center for Environmental Energy Engineering (CEEE) is working with industry to increase HVAC and CHP efficiency.
Lighting & Building Efficiency
Bringing together architectural design and numerous energy efficiency technologies, UMD won the 2011 Solar Decathlon.
Thermoelectrics & Waste Heat Recovery
Improving efficiency / reducing fuel consumption in many energy conversion processes can be accomplished by converting waste heat into useful work. This can be done on many scales through advanced thermoelectric materials and through advanced process development using novel heat-driven cycles for power and/or refrigeration. UMERC and CEEE researchers are advancing thermoelectric materials that will enable higher efficiencies of converting waste-heat directly to electric power for applications in buildings and portable power. For distributed power applications, waste heat recovery for heating and heat-driven cooling provides the potential for substantial reduction in energy consumption in buildings and industrial processes.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Senior Leah Meffert earned her third career OVC Offensive Player of the Week award, while sophomore Kelsey Gray took home her first Defensive Player of the Week award for their efforts in Tennessee Tech's win 3-1 over Jacksonville State. The awards were announced Monday by the OVC office.
Meffert, a 5-11 outside hitter from Louisville, Ky., posted a game-high 17 kills while hitting at a scorching .364 hitting percentage. During the first set against JSU, Meffert recorded five kills in eight attempts with no errors for a .625 average. In the fourth set, Meffert recorded seven kills on nine attempts, with no errors, and a .778 hitting percentage to put the match away. She also recorded eight digs and two aces.
Gray, a 6-2 middle blocker from Newark, Ohio, recorded a game-high 10 total blocks, five of which were solo blocks, as Tech held Jacksonville State to a .065 hitting percentage. During the second set against Jacksonville State, Gray recorded eight total blocks, including four solo blocks, which helped the Golden Eagles hold JSU to a -.306 hitting percentage. Gray also posted 11 kills, with a .385 hitting percentage, and three digs.
The Golden Eagles (6-14, 4-5 OVC) wrap up their three-match homestand this weekend as they take on Morehead State Friday, at 7 p.m., and Eastern Kentucky Saturday, at 2 p.m.

The rooms themselves are entirely structurally sound. In the second phase of the project, the separate rooms are assembled into connected floors, and then stacked into the entire house. Added advantage is that the rooms can fairly easy be disconnected in case the house needs to be relocated.
Although unfortunately we didn't won the prize, you can all have a look at the exhibition showing all the finalists in the Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam until January 4.
The 3D Print Canal House project was also featured in several national and international tv shows, including BBC News, Al Jazeera News, De Wereld Draait Door, ZDF News and Larry King Now.

The exhibition is curated by Zahid Sardar, putting the exhibition together using four themes: Techno Craft, Biocraft, naturopaths and Hands Off. The works of the artists are all divided into one of these themes. The exhibition will continue until September 13. Later this year the exhibition will travel to Eindhoven and reopen there during the Dutch Design Week!

The house is made of many printed elements. Each element showcases a research update in shape, structure and material. The project is initiated by DUS architects and shows that architecture can be catalyst for cross-sectoral innovation. It is collectively funded by all partners, who contribute to the project with knowledge and financial means.
The main facade of the 3D Print Canal House has an extra special character as it showcases how the 3D-print technique develops. The ground floor has modest ornament: As the 3D print technique develops and the number of building elements grows also the level of experiment in ornament rises, which is expressed in the most richly decorated part of the façade: The step gable.
Look at the shipment that we received last week…this container will be the base for the KamerMaker!
The 3D Print Canal House is printed with the XL 3D printer. The house design consists of several room types, which are assembled digitally and converted into one structural design
At our last design meeting we discussed our updated facade design with Fiction Factory and how we can develop a plastic extruder with Joris from EPMD.
On a smaller scale 3D printing is used in the medical industry, machinery, prototyping, jewelry, art, furniture, and many more. Would you like to start 3D printing yourself? Visit open fablabs like Protospace or i-Fabrica (in the Netherlands). If you would like to have your digital model 3D printed by a third party upload your model on one of these websites: 3D Hubs, Shapeways or Materialise. Your 3D printed object will be shipped right to your home!
The second silver container can be spotted next to the first XL 3D printer on the site. With a similar shiny silver appearance to the first printer, it doesn't give much away about its improved features. But beauty comes from within: the second XL 3D printer really is a XL 3D printer 2.0: it has an automated material input and remote control. As a result the control room at the top of the XL 3D printer can be dismissed, giving us up to 200% of the original print volume. And we never have to climb the steep stair to refill the printer anymore. Moreover, we can upload files when and wherever we want. XL 3D printer 2.0 is controlled via its own website and will print 24/7 because it has an integrated drying system!

The eco-concrete fill mounts the elements together. Besides connecting the separate elements, the concrete also provides strength and stability to the structure. There is a lot of air inside the concrete so it acts as insulation as well. It is not necessary to fill all shafts with concrete, this happens in a smart way. We use as little concrete as possible to maximize the strength, weight and stability of the 3D Print Canal House.
We recently purchased a shipping container which will be used as the main frame for the KamerMaker. It is currently at Fiction Factory where they first dismantled it and are now rebuilding it. However, for the KamerMaker we would like to use the container frame in a unconventional manner by tilting it up vertically rather than horizontally, so that we will be able to print rooms that are 3 meters tall! Today was a big day for us because the container was flipped up vertically for the first time. It was great to see the new frame and understand how big our prints are going to be!

President Obama visited the Rijksmuseum together with Dutch Prime Minister Rutte, Mayor of Amsterdam Eberhard van de Laan and director of the Rijksmuseum Wim Pijbes. Immediately next to the historical Nightwatch a piece of the future of Amsterdam was presented: the World's first 3D printed canal house. Mayor van der Laan showed several scale models of the 3D Print Canal House as well as a 1:1 print at the full size of 1.5 by 2 by 2.5 meters.
The site is a unique waterfront location and 'living lab' in Buiksloterham. With over 3000 square meters there is plenty of space to grow, produce and actualize our printing and building ambitions!

The 3D Print Canal House is a 3 year research and development project. This does not mean that the expected time it will take to 3D print a building in the future will be 3 years. On the contrary: The aim for the use of 3D printing in architecture is to build faster compared to traditional building techniques. Within the 3 years research project of the 3D print Canal House, DUS architects is building the Canal House and by doing so building up new knowledge for this purpose and sharing this with the community through the website and expo center.
The Sustainability Entrepreneurship Award is the largest sustainability award worldwide. 320 entries from 65 countries where handed in this year. The SEA for 'Best Idea' was awarded to DUS Architects. The 'SEA of Excellence' has been presented to two persons this year: to Barack Obama for his efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and to "The Ocean Cleanup" – a forward-thinking and passive form of collection to clean the oceans of plastic. Further prizes were awarded in eight categories – all of them pioneering, innovative ideas that are making a high social contribution towards a sustainably positive future.

Henkel is developing a new sustainable 3D print material for the building industries.
Contact [email protected] or [email protected]
DUS architects is collaborating with lots of important partners who invest in the project with knowledge and means. For example:
By bringing XL 3D printed projects from all over the world together in one exhibition space the Design Exchange sparks the debate on the future of additive manufacturing at a scale that goes beyond product and design.
Snapshot movie of last Saturday's 3D-print-test researching new material settings and constructive ornament ideas.
With a demonstration from Henkel, we were able to experience the process first hand, seeing what proportions and how the different elements were mixed together and applied. The concrete mix includes lightweight aggregates in an attempt to keep the weight and material consumption to a minimum.
Our idea is to host the next Ultimaker meetup at the Open Coop in Amsterdam, and have the attendees help us print pieces for the facade of the KamerMaker. The facade for the KamerMaker will be made out of perforated stainless steel where we will insert 3d printed pieces into the perforations. We would like to print small wind turbines which can generate enough energy to power an LED. We are currently testing different designs and will publish those soon. So, the next meetup will be on July 16th at the Open Coop in Amsterdam where the KamerMaker will be. So, we would like to open up an invitation to anyone who may be interested in Ultimaker, owns an Ultimaker, or is interested in the KamerMaker to attend the event and help us print our facade. The idea is that people will bring their Ultimakers to the Open Coop, DUS will provide designs to printed and print material (3mm filament). Keep following the blog for more information and details about this event.
Heijmans is building partner of the project and takes charge in the building of the house, and the developing of new means of connecting the separate elements into a safe ans solid house.
During his visit to the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The 3D Print Canal House was presented to United States' President Barack Obama by the Mayor of Amsterdam Eberhard van der Laan. In addition to the historical Nightwatch, the visit also focused on new innovations in Amsterdam. The 3D Print Canal House researches how 3D printing techniques can offer solutions to housing questions worldwide.
We would like thank everyone who came by on Saturday to visit the launch party! It was great to talk and share our ideas about the project with experts and non-experts in 3D printing. We received nice feedback from many of the visitors which we hope to apply to the project.
The project is partially funded by the municipality of Amsterdam, Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and the DOEN Foundation, and partially by the contributions of our partners. A lot of the sponsorship the 3D Print Canal House gets is in natura, through contributing knowledge or materials. In fact, the 3D Print Canal House is one big collaboration project, in which everybody shares and gets a share.
DUS architects is the initiator of both de XL 3D printer and the 3D Print Canal House. DUS architects is an Amsterdam based architecture office founded in 2004 by Hans Vermeulen, Hedwig Heinsman and Martine de Wit. DUS architects builds 'public architecture': Architecture that influences the public domain using scale 1:1 models, urban process- and strategy design, and that ranges from temporary interiors to long-term urban transformation trajectories. www.houseofdus.com
Partner DOEN visited the KamerMaker. We had a nice analogue presentation and discussion about the effects and future possibilities of 3D printing.
How does digitalization and additive manufacturing disrupt the building industry? Could 3D-printing
A presentation by one of the founders and partners of DUS or a custom made program is possible upon request.
Today the KamerMaker is one of the Amsterdam locations for the international press visit in the context of the Coronation fever. Crews from Russia, Japan, Costa Rica, Germany, Norway and many others where interested to see the innovative side of Amsterdam.
The construction site of the 3D print canal house not just a building site, it is an open workplace where an international team of partners collaborates in 'research and doing' (R&DO). You can visit it with an appointment with one of the project employees and have a real 'peek behind the scenes'.

There are many questions the 3D Print Canal House brings to mind. To give a better understanding of the concepts and ideas behind the 3D Print Canal House, DUS architects frequently gives inspirational lectures and presentations. The partners of DUS are renowned keynote speakers and we're happy to share our ideas with you.
We are currently printing with bioplastics. The granulate that goes into the XL 3D printer is called Macromelt, a type of industrial glue (Hotmelt) developed by Henkel. It is made of 80% of vegetable oil. It melts at 170 degrees Celsius. We aim to print with a material that is sustainable, of biological origin, melts at a relatively low temperature, and of course is sturdy and stable. We are also researching the possibilities of printing with recycled materials: Plastics of course, but we're also looking into using wood pallets and natural stone waste.
The KamerMaker has been printing during the recent snow period! Stichting DOEN also gave us a visit to talk about what the KamerMaker will do in the upcoming year. We gave them a little demonstration.
Furthermore we are testing a printing material which is made from bamboo. Besides the very nice texture the material gives to prints, it fills our expo with a nice smell as if we are a carpenters workshop!
We were recently provided with several new material samples by our partner Henkel. After some initial testing with extruding, we made a selection of the best materials to print out this lovely collection of stools with. The various colors of the stools are actually the natural colors of the different materials creating a nice gradient in stools.
All parameters we work with are scripted. This allowed us to change the dimensions of the structural shafts during the design process to match the structural demands from our structural engineer partner Tentech, without redrawing the complex design over and over.

4. Development of new bio-based, sustainable and recyclable materials and product innovation
Heijmans is researching what new construction techniques are needed for 3D printing buildings.
There is plenty of information on 3D printing to find on the internet. An example of an easy to read overview on 3D printing can be found here. But the best way to learn more is of course to visit!
Today, we are putting the finishing touches on a scale model of the XL 3D printer for the Object Rotterdam exhibit. Here are is sneak peek of the model…
We recently had a meeting at our office with Ultimaker and Joris from EPMD to discuss the overall schedule of the project, extrusion technique, and the XYZ framework of the printer. We had some good discussions and everyone is really excited to see the KamerMaker working soon
[[getSimpleString(data.headline)]] [[getSimpleString(data.priceText)]]
The printing material used by the XL 3D printer was nominated for this prize. The material, macromelt, is created by our German partner Henkel. It is a bio-based plastic, made from linseed oil, enriched with different additives making it an ideal material for printing building parts.
By attaching two powerful fans to the printer head of the XL 3D printer we are again able to print faster! This especially benefits the (parts of) pieces that have a small surface area. Before, we had to slow down the printer with these pieces because the track it has to follow is smaller, thus leaving less time for the previous layer to harden. The fans quicken the hardening process of the previous layer, allowing us to print faster and more accurate.
[[getSimpleString(data.title)]] [[getSimpleString(data.topMetadataSection)]]
The 3D Print Canal House is supported by a large eco-system of cross-sectoral partners.
The structural aspects are tested both digitally and on site in collaboration with the structural engineers of Tentech. The construction is based on a structural extruded printed grid that can take several shapes. Folds in the structure generate strength, so the level of ornaments enhances the construction. Each printed element consists of numerous diagonal hollow collumns. When the elements are mounted together the hollow collumns create large structural crosses that support the entire structure.
Despite the unforgiving weather yesterday, we had a great turnout for the Ultimaker meetup at our office. There was a very energetic and collaborative atmosphere where attendees helped us 3d print wind turbines for the facade, offered their advice about the wind turbine design, and engaged in some nice discussions about the design of the KamerMaker. Thanks for everyone who attended and we look forward to continuing to be engaged in this collaborative community.

The 3rd SEA Gala was held at the Sophiensäle in Vienna, with around 250 high-calibre international guests from business, science, politics and society. Hedwig Heinsman, who co-founded DUS together with Hans Vermeulen and Martine de Wit in 2004, represented the firm and the team of the 3D Print canal House at the event. The award was handed over by member of the jury, EU parliament member Lambert van Nistelrooij.
Is the KamerMaker a utopic dream? Well, last week we participated in a discussion with several other architects/theorists where we discussed that question along with various other topics related to utopian architecture. The discussion, named Failed Architecture, was part of ongoing series of lectures at TrouwAmsterdam. It was great for us think about the KamerMaker within this context and project its implications to architecture and construction. We look forward to continuing this discussion with the public when the KamerMaker is up and running!
At the moment we are testing a printing material based on the potato starch from the leftovers of a french fries company. The table ware that is printed with this material is completely biodegradable. For this reason probably not that suitable for printing houses, but of course very suitable for numerous other applications, and the material gives a great texture.
Please note that presentations and bookings are possible from Monday to Friday between 11:00 and 17:00. For reservations outside these times, extra charges may apply. Please contact [email protected] for more information.
That is impossible to say since all of the materials we use have never been on the market for this purpose. The 3D Print Canal House is a research project partially funded and partially created by DUS architects and its partners. At the end of the research trajectory, we hope to be able to give an accurate estimate of what it takes to 3D print a house. The goal is to create a cost-effective building technique for building sustainable and comfortable houses.

From Amsterdam Central Station, by foot or bicycle: Take the exit marked "Noord". Cross the road, and you will then see the ferries. Take the (free) 'Buiksloterweg' ferry to the other side of the IJ waterway (ferries depart every 6 minutes). After leaving the ferry, turn left towards EYE film museum (the futuristic white building). Pass EYE and follow the cycle and footpath (IJpromenade) along the IJ. After 400 meters, turn right into the Grasweg and proceed to (the sign of) the Hyperion Lyceum). From the Hyperion Lyceum, take the first block on the left to the Asterweg. At the end of the Asterweg, after about 500 meters, you will find the main entrance (Asterweg 149) with the 3D Print Canal House on your left.
The coming weeks we are taking this a few steps further by adding parameters to the script. We will update you soon!
It's been a while since a posted an update on the KamerMaker, but that is because we have been so busy getting ready for the official opening on September 16th. For the past couple of weeks we have been preparing the garden space in front of our office for the delivery of the shipping container next week! Today the concrete pads were delivered which will be used as the base for the shipping container. Fiction Factory is finishing up installing the facade, and next week the XYZ gantry will be installed at Fiction Factory.

The research evolves around 4 'R&DO's' – 'Research & Doing'. The building site is designed as a growing exhibition and open to the public with an appointment: you can book a tour with one of the employees of the project. The feedback from audiences generates input for research and market explorations: a live user test and feedback loop that intensifies and accelerates the research process on:
Material, construction and design parameters are all closely connected in the design & build process of the 3D Print Canal House.
The Municipality of Amsterdam investigates the effect of the digital maker-industries on regulations and opportunities for employment.
The exhibition 3DXL at the Design Exchange in Toronto just opened! The exhibition, featuring the 3D Print Canal House, is a showcase for new projects in 3D-printed architecture that are radically changing the building industry and as a result, the way in which we live.
Parametric design tools allow architects to make adaptable design that can conform to all kinds of circumstances, like location and climate. It invites us to design energy-efficient façades that can be altered guided by their coordinates on the earth.
One great advantage of 3D printing over traditional building techniques (such as prefabricated concrete) is the possibilities of using a high level of detail and ornament and variation. Rather than using standardized elements, 3D printed designs can each be modified and customized to fit the user's needs and taste. It will no longer be more expensive or more labour intensive to add details to for example your façade and it is easy to create unique objects.
And here is a video of the opening which was shot by Siert Wijnia from Ultimaker:
With the update of its engine, the XL 3D printer is now printing at more than three times its initial speed! Since we didn't want to climb the steep stairs anymore to refill the printer every 20 minutes or so, we've printed an enlargement of the container that holds the printing material.
The canal house is a symbol of Amsterdam. When the canal belt was built 400 years ago, Amsterdam was a prime example of innovation. Each canal house can house several functions, such as trade, storage, living, craft, and each canal house is richly ornamented and unique. A canal house is recognizable and attractive. It is interesting to investigate what this traditional archetype can be in a 21st century context. 3D printing a canal house shows the world how to combine traditional local values with new innovative ideas.
For those who want to go more in depth, DUS architects offer custom made presentations for groups or even individuals. We have a special lecture room which looks over the building site. A presentation goes in depth about the design philosophy and background of DUS and allows you to engage in a dialogue about the project.
The layers of the facade of the 3D Print Canal House are printed at once, as one element. This means that a 3D printed wall performs both as interior and exterior facade. The space in between the facades consists of numerous diagonal hollow shafts. Some of these shafts are filled with a special lightweight foaming eco-concrete (developed together with Henkel) to create large structural crosses that support the entire structure.
Both sides of the wall have a different set of shafts. On one side the shafts have a slight inclination from bottom-right to upper-left, while on the other side of the wall the shafts run in the opposite direction. This way the to sides together create structural crosses.

We created our first full scale full print! We have been working at Protospace for the past month to create and test a full scale plastic extruder. Last week we finally got the extruder up and working , so we atttached it to the CNC milling machine to see what it could make. Even though it works, this is just the beginning and we have many more tests to perform.
Second XL 3D printer is in the making. Together with construction studio Fiction Factory we are assembling and installing the XL 3D printer on the building site. We are super excited to start working with it and experience its upgraded features!
And of course our visitors help finance the house by paying an entrance fee!
The 3D print material for the house is developed by material partner Henkel. Aim is to develop a renewable, sustainable, strong, tactile and beautiful material that can compete with current building techniques.
Today we started printing a 6m tall wall. The wall has shafts of different dimensions. The larger structural shaft run towards the locations where adjacent rooms need support. These shafts will be cast with Henkel's Eco-concrete, and will so create a the structural framework of the house.
3D printing is already widely used in many industries, particularly when on a small scale a high level of unique detail is required (big chances are that if you need a crown or hearing aid, it will be 3D printed). It is a production technique that is becoming more and more widely available. The great thing is that 3D printing can easily create objects or parts of objects that are custom fit and have a high level of detail and variety.
The exhibition highlights large scale 3D printing and pushes for the intersection of design, art, science, construction, and community. It is an offsite exhibition, offering visitors and passers-by the possibility to experience 3D printing on spot. The 3D Print Canal House is a key piece in the exhibition, displayed next to Swiss architects Michael Hansmeyer and Benjamin Dillenburger's Arabesque wall, an strikingly intricate 3D printed building component made from sandstone, and California's Emerges Objects Saltygloo, the worlds' first 3D Printed pavilion printed entirely from locally harvested sea salt.
3D-print building techniques make architecture personal again. Just imagine… It won't be long before you can online select your favorite room designs made by your favourite architects, and customize them to your personal taste. You add personal data, such as size limits and location, and the rooms are then digitally connected and merged into your ideal house. You can 3D print scale models of the house, and when you're totally content with the design, contact a contractor with a KamerMaker, and place the order. This bridges the gap between designer, client and builder and makes architecure truly architecture personal.

We have to thank all the collaborators for their hard and dedication to the project. Thanks again to the Open Coop, Ultimaker Ltd, Rooie Joris, Fablab Protospace, Fiction Factory, Faberdashery, Xtrution, Almond Techniek, Tentech, Stamhuis Techniek, Amsterdam Energie and other volunteer enthusiasts which helped make the XL 3D printer opening such a success.
We are currently test printing with an extruder which Joris created especially for the KamerMaker. The design for the extruder is based on an Ultimaker, however it accepts 3 filaments of plastic rather than one. The extruder was assembled from 3d printed parts (which were printed on an Ultimaker) and laser cut wood pieces. The output of the extruder is not enough for XXL prints (2m x 2m x 3.5m) but so far it has worked for XL prints (.5m x .5m x 2m).

As well as the use of bio based plastics we recently carried out our first test of combining our printed structures Eco concrete. This was the first in a series that we will carry out in order to increase the structural strength of our printed pieces.
14. What are some other interesting 3D printing initiatives?
The concrete casting has a two fold function; firstly to increase the compressive structural capacities of the printed pieces, secondly it will also act as a connecting material to join seperate pieces together via the inclined shafts that we have developed.

The KamerMaker is really starting to take shape at Fiction Factory, because last week the stainless steel panels arrived and the installation has begun. We are hoping that the facade will be installed by the end of this week. Unfortunately, everyone will have to wait until September for the big reveal of the mirror facade, which is when we will take off the protective plastic. Thanks again to Fiction Factory for their hard work on the project. Next step is printing all the wind mills for the facade!
Examples of using 'our' FDM printing technique combined with a concrete like material are Contour Crafting in California and Shanghai WinSun Decoration Design Engineering Co.
The canal house design continues to evolve and our tests continue to grow as we break the 2.5m barrier!
This week we attended the Netherlands Ultimaker meetup at Protospace in Utrecht. Every six weeks, Ultimaker users meet at different locations to discuss new developments, test new machines, troubleshoot problems, and present ideas related to Ulimaker. We attended this meetup to present the KamerMaker to the community and present our idea for the next meetup.
'Hands off' includes designs of among others Marcel Wanders, Dirk van der Kooij, Studio Drift, Ted Noten and Borre Akkersdijk, utilizing technology that requires no 'making' by hand in the traditional sense ;). It provides a showcase for new developed materials, new ways to use old technologies, and new ways of looking at and interacting with the world.
Currently, 3D printing is on the rise, and there are many other initiatives, both on a large and small scale (also see 'other 3D printing initiatives' for a bit more in depth overview) going on that we can hardly keep track.
3. What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of 3D printing a building?
At the 3D Print Canal House, we offer you the possibility to learn more about the project and to speak to one of the enthusiastic DUS employees. Everything we do is personal and custom made – feel free to contact us about other options.
Here you see an image of a map of the world, each geo-location coordinate translated into its corresponding solar angle. Close to the equator the sun shines on the façade at a totally different angle than it does here on our building site in Amsterdam. The geo-location of the building site can be added as a parameter to the 3D model, so that wherever in the world you are, you can print a façade with an optimized shape! That not only makes collecting solar energy more efficient, it is also great for reducing energy loss inside your home.
Technically, the XL 3D printer can print with any material that melts (at a temperature that isn't too high) and then hardens again.

13. What sets this print project apart from other large scale 3D print initiatives?
Recently, the partners of DUS have been keynote speaker in Swiss Innovation Week Basel, UBS Global Real Estate Conference London, CCA San Francisco, Israel, Sweden, Carleton University Canada, Maker Faire Rome, Munich Creative Business Week and many more events both internationally and within the Netherlands.
The 3D Print Canal House has moved! To an exciting much bigger location 800 meters from the old site at Badhuiskade.
Less than one year ago we moved the XL 3D printer to its current location. Now Fiction Factory is building up the second XL 3D printer – soon we'll be able to print more, better and faster!
The XL 3D printer works in exactly the same way as the Ultimaker, the small desktop 3D printer, as it is simply an upscaled version. A digital design is placed in the 'brain' of the printer, a very simple computer, where it is translated into a G-code. A G-code is a file that slices a 3D model into layers. This file programs the printer to move along a path that is optimal for that design, layer by layer.
[[getSimpleString(data.description)]] [[getSimpleString(data.description)]]
What makes the 3D Print Canal House special is that it is a project which is 'open' in every way: The initiators, designers and builders (DUS architects) are the client: the focus is on research, experimentation and development, instead of finishing a house. The project involves many different industries, disciplines and parties tied together by a common goal. More importantly, the process is being shown to the public (not only the successes but also the possible failures it will encounter!) in order to learn and develop.
Therefore, we prefer bookings to be made at least one week in advance. An invoice will be sent after the visit with all payment details.
We have been working with Joris at Protospace to develop a new high powered Ultimaker extruder which uses 3 plastic filaments at one once instead of one. This is still a rough prototype, but we have got some nice results from it. One of the most exciting opportunities is that we can begin to easily mix colors in our prints. We attached the extruder to the CNC milling machine at Protospace to do some full scale testing. Thanks to Joris for his hard work on this and we look forward to testing it on the KamerMaker and also thanks toProtospace for letting us use their space for testing.
On October 17th the Dutch European Commissioner Neelie Kroes for Digital Agenda visited our building site. DUS cofounders Hedwig Heinsman en Hans Vermeulen showed her around the expo and building site and explained the research project to the commissioner.

We are assembling our new high-tec extruder for the KamerMaker with Servan from Xtrution, Joris and Siert!
Each room is printed separately on site before being assembled into one house. This way the rooms can be carefully tested in a safe and easy accessible manner. Each room is different and consists of complex and tailor-made architecture and unique design features. The structure is scripted and this creates its proper strength but also generates ornament, and allows for new types of smart features, such as angled shading scripted to the exact solar angle. Each printed room consists of several parts, which are joined together as large Lego-like blocks. Both the outside façade as the interior are printed at once, in one element. Within the 3D printed walls are spares for connecting construction, cables, pipes, communication technique, wiring etc.
Most likely it will be a public building. We hope that the 3D Print Canal House will become a hub for innovation and new production techniques and materials for the building industry. And of course that many more 3D printed buildings will pop up around the globe!
After the tour and lunch, a 'world moon' necklace was given to Neelie Kroes. This is a unique silver necklace designed by DUS made with a 3D printed mold, that she wore later that day on 'De Wereld Draait Door' tv show!
The last few weeks we have been experimenting with inclined shafts. The new house-pieces we print contain a double layer of shafts, one side running in one direction, the other side in the other direction. The script we developed for these designs allows us to change the shaft dimensions and the angle of the shafts.
In the 'control room' of the printer is also the material supply. We print with plastic in the form of granulate which enters an extruder via a funnel. In the extruder the granulate is heated (the material melts at 170 degrees Celsius) and pressed together to a homogeneous liquid. This is brought to the printer head by a heated tube. The printer head extrudes the melted material along the programmed path on the X and Y axes and when finished moves up one step along the Z axis. This is fairly similar to a normal printer, only with one more direction, which allows objects to be printed layer by layer.
The 3D Print Canal House is a unique research project because it combines history and future: a canal house is 3D-printed in full size with the KamerMaker, a large moveable 3D-printer that was developed specially for this project. This building project addresses the question of how digital production techniques can offer affordable housing solutions worldwide, for example in slums or in disaster areas, as well as looking at how digital designs can be shared and modified via the internet and new online networks. The 3D Print Canal House is printed with newly developed materials derived from biobased raw materials. It is also possible to print with recycled plastics.
At the 3D Print Canal House expo site, you'll get access to audio tour that you can listen to on your smart phone using a QR code scanner. Here you can download the auditotour. To do this you need a password, which you can ask for at the 3D Print Canal House front desk.
Adding virtual layers to our canal house! We had a very nice meeting with augmented reality artist Sander Veenhof, testing the merging of 3D printing and augmented reality. The result was shown live at Vodafone Firestarters http://www.facebook.com/FirestartersNL?fref=ts
The KamerMaker has been open for almost 4 weeks now and we wanted to give you a update on the printing research and development.
3D printing is a fascinating new production technique. It allows you to directly translate a digital file into a physical product. 3D printing can have huge implications for the way we fabricate things – for example the elimination of waste, transport costs and standardisation of elements – DUS architects is investigating what the implications of 3D printing are for the building industry. What better way to do this than by 3D printing an entire house?
Besides the possibilities of bio-based or recycled plastics, we are also researching different kind of natural materials as a base for our prints.
The 3D Print Canal House is a three-year 'Research & Design by Doing' project in which an international team of partners from various sectors works together on 3D printing a full-size canal house in Amsterdam. A beta-preneurial building project, which has the goal to revolutionize the building industry and offer new tailor made housing solutions worldwide.
Since the opening we have been receiving a steady stream of visitors at the KamerMaker. The visitors have ranged from designers/design students who would like to print an object to local residents who are curious about the project. Many people have asked when and how they can print their own design on the KamerMaker, however we are not ready for that at this time. The plan is that over the next few months we will continue to test different extruders and really perfect the technique. After we have successfully printed several pieces and feel the print quality is up to par, then we will open up the KamerMaker to other designers. Until then, everyone is welcome to stop by the KamerMaker to follow the live testing and experimenting.
DUS architects designed and printed the facade of the Europe Building on the Amsterdam Marineterrein (Marine Area): the place where in the next 6 months, European politicians and government officials will be meeting for the EU Presidency taking place in the Netherlands this year. The entrance of the building is partially constructed with playfully shaped sails that refer to the historical sailing ships that used to be built in the area. The alcoves created under the sails house EU-blue coloured 3D printed benches. Every seating element is parametrically designed and fits perfectly within each alcove. All elements were printed on the site of the 3D Print Canal House with the XXL 3D printer. After the presidency, the elements can be shredded and reprinted.
At this moment we're testing with different material samples to develop the optimal print-material. Base for the current tests is hotmelt (80% bio-based).
The 3D Print Canal House is located in Amsterdam North and easily accessible by car and public transport. It is also just a short bike ride or a 15 minute walk away from Amsterdam Central Station.
Less than 24 hours in advance: full payment of the programme.

3D printing is an additive manufacturing technique. That means the process goes straight from the raw material to the final product, thus eliminating waste. There are no transport costs, as designs can simply be transferred digitally and printed locally. This also implies that when 3D printing is used widely in each part of the world, it will no longer be cheaper to have things produced in countries like China or Bangladesh as opposed to the Netherlands. Everyone can just produce everything in their own local context.
From Amsterdam Central Station, by bus: Take the exit marked "Noord". Cross the road, and you will then see the ferries. Take the (free) 'Buiksloterweg' ferry to the other side of the IJ waterway (ferries depart every 6 minutes).
After leaving the ferry, take bus 38 from Buikslotwerg and get off at stop Distelweg. You will approach the main entrance (Asterweg 149) from the north, with the 3D Print Canal House on your right.
We would like to invite you to an fun event next weekend (Sunday, June 17th) that we will be taking part in. The event will be hosted by the Tolhuistuin and will celebrate the opening of the new garden space in front of the Open Coop. DUS will participating in a birdhouse building workshop where kids will be able to design and 3D print their own birdhouse! Our 3D printing workshop will be taking place on the site where the KamerMaker will be installed next month. So, if you are interested in attending the event, you can find our more information here: http://www.tolhuistuin.nl/new-agenda/opening-schommeltuin/
The 3D Print Canal House and other projects by DUS architects have been widely published in news papers
How does digitalization and additive manufacturing disrupt the building industry? Could 3D-printing and the internet change the way we make things forever? Can we in the near future e-mail buildings to each other? And what if we can print a building, shredder it, and then print something new with the same material? How will this have a positive effect on the environment and the economy? And how will it influence our notion of craftsmanship?
We recently visited an extruder manufacturer to continue our research into how extruders work and how to create one. We tested several different sizes and types of extruders to see which one would fit our application.
Like many things we own or use everyday, sensors are found everywhere. Placing small sensors within the print material could enable us to print a house that could relay data about weather, light, and temperature. This information could be used to alter and update resources used by the house in real time.

DUS architects' 3D Print Canal House and Potato Table Ware can now be seen in 'Hands Off – New Dutch Design at the Confluence of Technology' at the Museum of Craft and Design. The exhibition highlights 20 Dutch designers that interweave design, art and craft with modern technique. Unique in the way they use innovative methods to re-interpreted traditional ways of making.
Presentations can be booked on Monday – Friday. If you wish to book a tour on a Saturday, please contact [email protected] for options.

It is easy to click in, but hard to pull out. The new clicking system we developed to assemble the 3D printed parts looks like LEGO for grown-ups! Each room explores a new construction system. For the Entrance Room, we were looking for a simple system to connect the printed pieces (as each printed room consists of several parts). The click system works without having to uplift parts to great height to be able to slide it in. So we tested new ways to join the printed parts together and we found a way. It allows parts to be pushed into each other. Click, and there is no way to pull it out again.
The special concrete mix is variable giving the potential to alter parameters such as curing time, additional insulative material and colour. In this particular test it was cast just after lunch time and it was solid enough to stand on before the end of the day!
3D-printing and scripting are perfect partners in terms of flexibility. While scripting allows us to create designs that can easily be adapted to changing circumstances of all kinds, the printer doesn't bother if it prints a series of similar copies, or an awesome series of unique pieces.
We would like to share the final design for the facade of the KamerMaker which is currently being fabricated. As we mentioned earlier, we are using a shipping container as the main frame for the KamerMaker, and will be tilting it up vertically rather than horizontally, so that we will be able to print rooms that are 3 meters tall! The container will be clad with perforated stainless steel panels, which will have 3d printed objects inserted into the perforations. As we mentioned in a previous post, we will be hosting the the next Ultimaker meetup on July 16th at the Open Coop in Amsterdam, where we will begin printing wind turbines for the facade. So, for those who may be interested in Ultimaker, own an Ultimaker, or is interested in the KamerMaker are invited to this event and help us print our facade.
Last Friday, we planned on printing a 1.5m tall column over the course of one day, however the weather did not cooperate with us, so we had to start our print in the afternoon and continue into the evening. Even though we didn't achieve the height we wanted, it was a great opportunity to see what the KamerMaker looks like at night.

Co-op Looking to Build Fertilizer, Seed Plant
COLTON - Eastern Farmers Cooperative is looking to consolidate two older facilities into a multimillion dollar fertilizer and seed plant north of Colton.
Eastern agronomy manager Tony VanOverschelde tells the Argus Leader that the two small facilities don't have access to rail. He says the proposed plant will be up to date with new regulations and have access to the 85-car trains to bring in fertilizer.
Doug Hanson, who owns land just north of the proposed building site, opposes the new plant. He's worried about increased truck traffic and whether the site is appropriate for the storage of anhydrous ammonia.
Minnehaha County Planning Director Scott Anderson says the planning and zoning commission has granted a conditional-use permit to Eastern for the new plant as long as it meets certain criteria.

Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
Ok I got the new Lucky board in today and it is amazing. I am going to post this quick review and as soon as I get some free time I will post a new video showing the board off.
The box the board came in was nothing fancy, no metal tins. At first I was slightly confused. It came with the board and battery harness in one bag, the Mac noid and connector in another bag, the hoses and the new Lucky Green rear banjo in yet another.
They do not have the noid attached to the board, at first I was upset, but later realized how awesome it was. The about 6" connector on the noid allows you to take the frame and body apart with out taking the whole board out. Nice feature. Since all the hoses are attached to the noid it is not a big deal.
As for hoses, they are connected to the noid using metal barbs, a HUGE plus. There is a new hose that is needed to connect the noid to the new rear banjo. It looks like a small QEV combined with the banjo. I am speculating that the noid sends air out through that banjo, as there are no other holes in the noid.
The board has a stock plug for the membrane pad if you wish to add one.
Here are the pics of the assembly, the middle banjo is not there because I use a QEV. The front banjo and eye wire were not provided.
The board has four dip switches on it. One is for the tourney lock, a second one is for the eyes off ROF (set to 8bs, but this can be changed if you turn off the dip switch, and the 3rd is for anti-first shot drop off, if you want to use the feature you put the switch on. The 4th is not used, I am guessing for future programing. The switches are not used to program the board, that is all done via the trigger.
The LED on the board is insanely bright and very easy to see outside. When the gun is powered on, Instant on by the way, the eyes are set to on and the LED is BRIGHT Green. If there is no ball in the breech then the LED goes red. If there is an issue detected with the eyes, the LED goes yellow and the ROF is dropped to what ever you set it. I love that feature, you truly should never chop a ball with this board. You can manually turn off the eyes as well and the LED is blue for that.
The board has more modes than any paint baller would ever need. I am not going to bore you with all the modes, it does all the biggies Semi, Ramp, Full Auto, it also has a few nice ones. Training mode, similar to that found on Egos, so you can practice walking, and a Demo mode for firing the gun indoors with out paint. It is very easy to set the board from the trigger. One of the other very nice things the board has is Quickstart modes. There are seven total and they correspond to most of the tourney standards. With only a few trigger pulls you can set your gun to for ex. PSP Ramp (capped at 15 bps) or CFOA Semi (capped at 15 bps).
I took the gun to the shop and did a very quick test to make sure everything worked. Aired it up with no leaks (always a plus) Fired a few quick dry fires and loaded up the hopper. Because of time I only tested the gun on full auto. WOW it rips. The gun had all the stock settings, except, put it on uncapped and I had to raise the dwell to 16 (from 12). The board has a nice feature called test shots, it lets you shoot 3 (or how ever many you set) shots in semi before the mode you select kicks in. It also has forced shot so you can force the gun to shoot even it does not see a ball in the breach.
So with all that I am VERY happy with the board. As I go through and dial it in I can only expect better results.
Look for a video coming soon and if you have any questions about the board let me know.

Sweet, I'm glad you are happy with your choice. Get that video up soon.

Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
good newds. im guessing the green fitting didnt come in other colors :/
edit: there HAS to be another hole, the lucky tech said it was a TRUE 3way noid.
whats that one on the side, below the fitting on the right? the 33series (used noid) has the option of output on the side, and output2 is the exaust in this case.

Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
I got mine yesterday...it has the SP noid -.- and I need air -.- ....it's identical to Hackers except for the noid
Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
i have a question... why is the battery wire as long as it is? and i verified it on macvalves.com that the exaust can be placed where that silvery hole is in the profile picture, so i think thats where it vents.
Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
battery wires are longer to help prevent some of the - "wire's too short, yanked too hard/fast and ripped wires off board" - type of problems.
Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
doug could put a 9 volt in his pack and the wire would reach
Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
lol...doug as in bomberpilot? He could have 90 yards of wire and STILL rip it off the board pulling the battery...and NOT get it soldered on right...lmao!!
really, I have mine sitting right here and it's not all that long...I'll host a pic. Hang on, I'l edit...

Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
im saying hes just small enough to wrap the battery wire down his arm and loop it into his harness so he can keep the battery there, you know how heavy those 9vs are for him.
edit: and no optical switch
Re: Lucky Stage 4 Ion Board review...
well, I installed mine tonight -.-
After opening the plastic bag I immediately noticed that there were no barbs on the noid head -.- and had to transfer them from the TBoard's noid to the Spitfire's. I was not happy about that...my fat fingers+4mm tubing=*****y me
But...while installing it into the frame I noticed that the Spitfire slides in much easier than the TBoard ever did (and still does). The TBoard is very tight fitting...so much so, I worry about snapping the board when putting it back in. That's not the case with the Spitfire.
I'm going to try and get Air today, if not...Tuesday. My Ion has NEVER tasted CO2 and I'm not feeding it to it now.
The instruction sheet that comes with it is an 8.5" x 11" paper, tri-folded and printed on both sides. It's a lot easier to read and understand than the TBoard's manual is (not that I had a problem but a lot of people *****ed about the T's manual...). I'm dying to try it...

IMHO it would be quite insane, Professor, to try and regild your finger bowls. I think finicky doesn't begin to describe the process, and in the end you would still be left with a set of gold leaf applied (but not fired on) finger bowls. Finger bowls are part of a large glass service but take up an awful amount of cupboard space and are therefore often disposed of. Their value is limited. The use of finger bowls has gone out of fashion in the 1930s and anyway, when is the last time you decked the table with them?
