The Power of Personal 3D Printing is Indeed Real, For Some
I’m reading an interesting story about how a photographer designed and 3D printed a specialty film camera, and realized what this actually signifies.
Is There A Need For 3D Photo Booths?
We’ve seen several “3D Photo Booths” at recent trade shows. Are these a thing?
OpenReflex Revisited
Remember the guy who 3D printed a real, live, working optical camera? He’s doing it again, only this time it’s a lot more advanced.
3D Printing Brings an Ancient Camera to Life
Photographer Aaron Foat had a serious problem: he had obtained a classic No. 1a Pocket Kodak camera, circa 1905, in perfect condition. It was is such good shape that it could take pictures. If only he could buy the long-unavailable Kodak 116 film for it. Determined to succeed, Foat contacted his local makerspace,… Continue reading 3D Printing Brings an Ancient Camera to Life
Léo Marius Interviewed
Remember that amazing 3D printed SLR camera? It was created by French designer Léo Marius, who recently was interviewed by Sculpteo. In the interview, Marius says the most difficult and challenging aspect of the OpenReflex design was in fact the shutter: Habitually a shutter is an extremely precise mechanical piece, and I had… Continue reading Léo Marius Interviewed
A 3D Printed Camera – That Works
Complexity in 3D print design can come in two species: a single, highly detailed printed object or a composition of many printed objects. A project that captures the latter approach is Leo Marius’ OpenFlex 3D printed SLR Camera. It captures images, too. The SLR camera print was a project Marius completed for his studies… Continue reading A 3D Printed Camera – That Works
