Today I finished the hollow part of the mold. I spent most of the day smoothing both parts of the mold with sandpaper and getting rid of some of the errors the CNC made. Some edges are simply not possible for the machine to make, so I have to manually adjust. It is turning out […]

It is hard to stop watching the machine while it slowly frees your design from a heavy block of chemical wood. Some CNC milling pr0n:

It is the 26th of November today, and we are in the 9th week of our artist in residence at the Waag Society. The project is progressing a lot and we are now starting to work on the networking and data exchange part of the project. We are simultaneously working on the cases for the […]

Today we started making part 1 of the mold, to cast a case for the Meshy objects. We are using a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) milling machine (BZT pf 1000 c) at the Waag Society to mill out the shape. The machine is amazing, I can’t stop watching it. The material used to mill out […]

We decided to try out 3D milling for creating a case to house our electronics. The plan is to create a mold and cast 8 to 10 cases using a semi-flexible resin. The work flow would be: 1. create a 3D model of the mold 2. import this 3d model into the software that controls […]

The first iteration of the meshy board is here! It is super tiny and cute :) Tom is finished working on the last hardware problems today, so we can start doing the first software tests!
