D-Coil: A Hands-on Approach to Digital 3D Models Design

D-Coil: A Hands-on Approach to Digital 3D Models Design from Huaishu on Vimeo.

We introduce D-Coil, a new digital 3D modeling approach using wax coiling to bring tangibility to the design of
digital models. After defining a shape to extrude, the users follow the lead of a hand-held actuated extruder to
instantiate the actual extrusion using wax. The tangibility of the wax extrusion sets the stage to create the next
components until the digital model is completed. The digital model affords all digital attributes (ease of
transformation, distribution, and 3D printing) while the wax artifact can be discarded or kept as a one-of-a-kind
memento. We present a proof-of-concept implementation of D-Coil and showcase how this additive approach can also be extended to a subtractive process using a digitally actuated cutter. By adding a 6DOF mouse, users can also include scaling, rotation, and bending effects to create a wide variety of shapes often difficult for novices to produce in standard CAD software.

3DFormer: A Pen Draws 3D Models in Air Instantaneously
by 3DFormer Team from Dim3printing LLC.

3DFormer is the world’s only 3D pen adopted in the classroom arts education for 2.5+ hours non-stop drawing – no frustration!

3DFormer™: Drawing 3D Models Instantaneously in Air

3DFormer™ works like a pen. It is invented for everyone who enjoys making and designing 3D models. We made this simpler than ever by implementing the state-of-the art 3D printing technology into a pen.

No fan noise, no button on the top, no painful gripping, no long filament stick-out strand, no stop of use in one hour or two, and no filaments clogging. Tracing your imagination in the air, 3DFormer™ draws smooth lines with colorful plastic filaments which stand still instantaneously following your movement.

The four-day long SXSW Edu series is a component of the South by Southwest family of conferences that – through workshops, an expo, and films – emphasizes creativity in teaching and learning method. And, because it precedes SXSW Interactive, it offers an excellent chance to get some SXSW experience, without the same crowding or exorbitant hotel pricing.
