Oh weird. I definitely did not do this for the record.

I've been using FreeCad more and more, but solvespace has been a great, lightweight tool to design parts for laser cutting by SendCutSend/Oshcut.

Neat that they got it working in the browser.

I've been in the bowels of the domestic robot/drone parts supply chain. It's ugly, almost non-existent. I wish there was more of a carrot, but the opportunity for that was frankly 5 years ago.

NDAA has been a saving grace that we have anything like https://arkelectron.com/

Frankly, they should just rip the bandaid off and apply it to robotics like robovacs/delivery bots/etc scanning homes/offices/critical infrastructure at this point.

Seems to be from the same team as https://www.taiga.io/

So, probably open core, self hosted with paid SAAS.

I’m having trouble putting a term to similar situations:

Where people (whether government, corporate, nonprofit) get in over their head and create these sorts of problems while trying to solve something they don’t appropriately understand.

There’s a lot of poor decision making in our institutions ranging from HOA’s, multinational nonprofits, and federal governments, notably in domain specific situations that require nuanced understanding.

Maybe we need to start introducing the concepts of circuit breakers in our rules, regulations & laws to eject when something goes wrong or doesn’t go right based on basic KPI’s.

Have we solved the “basics” (despite not getting those right) and are running into compounding edge cases? Do we just need people better equipped to handle these decisions? I think these sorts of problems (more broadly than the specific topic in the article) are going to be a plague on our society.

I haven't been able to scan the interior (transmission tunnel in this case).

But that would be the general idea. Scan interior - 3d model parts to fit in that scanned world - 3d print/CNC cut those parts to fit.

I like it more for 2d work.

I haven’t gotten into the groove with it for 3d workflows. I probably need to do some more tutorials for it on that front.

Yep, I'm in that window, but availability of the 12 pro is pretty bad and it's not that painful in the grand scheme of life to warrant hunting one down haha. Regret, but not that big of a regret :)

Very cool,

I've been starting to use ARKit from a different angle.

Usecase - test out 3d designs of replacement classic car parts I'm manufacturing as a side project.

While crude right now, I think this sort of stuff is a game changer - I'm regretting not picking up a lidar enabled 12 pro instead of a 12 now to do better scanning and placement. I guess I'll pick up an ipad pro when it's upgrade time on that front.

Here are two quick videos I threw together:

https://youtu.be/M8dgrf7GBow

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K0-vK2wafA

Workflow:

- build 2d models in solvespace (https://solvespace.com)

- export dxf to fusion 360

- convert dxf to sheet metal

- bend sheet metal in fustion360

- export obj from fusion360

- save obj file to icloud drive

- open obj file in AR Viewer app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ar-viewer-augmented-reality/id...)

Sidenote:

There still isn't a replacement for physically printing the parts before I have them laser cut out of metal. I 3d print models and test fit pieces as intermediate steps too.

Really excited to see ios developers digging into ARKit more, I'm excited to see what else is possible here.
