Makerbot Digitizer Makes Cloning Objects Simple
Brooklyn based 3D printer guru’s MakerBot will be shipping their Digitizer in October. The MakerBot Digitizer takes a 3D object, scans is and creates a 3 dimensional design file. These design files can then be used with a 3D printer to make a physical clone of the original object.
MakerBot has a good consumer following with hobbyists and institutions for education. At the moment, any design files would normally obtained from sites such as Thingiverse where users could find all sorts of objects from balloons to crystals.
How It Works
The MakerBot Digitizer uses a turntable and scanners to scan every inch of a small object in order to convert the information in to a .THING or .STL file. The files can be used to send information to 3D printers where the user can watch a real life clone of their object be printed out. There are some limitations to the Digitizer though:
- Max weight of object is 6.6lbs
- Max height 8 inches
- Max width 8 inches
When the object is placed on the turntable, the scanners record the object over 12 minutes while the object completes one revolution on the turn table.
The Digitizer won’t print the object or the design out itself, it is simply the first step of the cloning process. However, MarketBot believe the reason this will appeal to so many consumers is the fact that the Digitizer makes it even easier to utilize 3D printing.
What You Need
Anyone wanting to clone their own objects (who wouldn’t?) will need a MakerBot Digitizer (you can pre-order one for $1,400 or $1,540 with support package) and a 3 dimensional printer. The Digitizer is compatible with either of MakerBot’s Replicators or any other 3D printer to produce a physical model. MakerBot’s replicators come in at under $2,000 so for a little over $3,000 you could clone every small object in your home!

NASA Technology Could Help Save Lives
The first minutes and hours following a natural disaster are crucial if lives are to be saved. NASA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are working together to produce a device that can detect heartbeats and breathing patterns of victims trapped beneath debris.
For first response services precious time is often spent digging through endless piles of rubble in the hope of finding people alive, but the harsh reality is that too often it takes too long, resulting in people being found too late.
According to NASA, it has been able to produce a prototype for a technology called Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response (FINDER). It is capable of locating people buried up to 30 feet.
“In the search and rescue world, they speak of the ‘golden hour,’” said FINDER task manager James Lux, of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab, in a video about the device. “If you find someone within an hour of the incident occurring, the odds of survival are much higher.”
The FINDER device looks like a plastic briefcase and weighs less than 20 pounds. It sends microwave radar signals into the debris and then analyzes the returning signal for anything that resembles a human heartbeat or breathing pattern.
Advanced data processing algorithms developed by Jet Propulsion Lab are able to “isolate the tiny signals from a person’s moving chest by filtering out other signals, such as those from moving trees and animals.” These will help make it easier to analyze radar signals in a chaotic, post-disaster environment.
“FINDER also uses technology developed by NASA to track the faint signals coming from deep space probes like Cassini and Juno,” said Whitney Clavin, a spokeswoman for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab.
John Price, program manager for the DHS’ First Responders Group, called FINDER “probably the greatest advance in the last 30 years,” in NASA’s video.
