Firanse r3 – 3D Printed Triax
Firanse r3 – 3D Printed Triax
In the year 2040 there
isn’t limit for what could be printed, every material and size is possible and
the recycling process has been completely rewritten. The products are cheaper
and more efficient because the internal parts could be more complex, resistant
and smaller, printed directly in place. And if something is broken it can
simply be reduced to its original material and reprinted again, even could
collect several things and make something completely different and convenient
with one’s lifestyle.
There is where the
Firanse R3 takes place, a completely affordable, personalized and ecological
car. This concept vehicle consists of two parts, the first one is the cab that
holds the seats, batteries and the principal controls, and second part are the
modular wheels that have the engines, brakes, suspension and direction system.
The model won 4th
Place in the GrabCAD and Makerbot Contest.

If you want to shoot
underwater but can’t cough up enough money to purchase those high end drones,
such as HexH2o, then we suggest you look at Urban Drones’ Splash Drone. This
drone is an economical alternative and although it resembles a quad copter, the
ABS body is fully watertight.
Users can attach a GoPro camera on the underside on a waterproof 2-axis gimbal and then fly it to the area where they want to take pictures underwater. Once the drone is in the area, it simply has to be landed on water where it will float on surface while the camera is submerged. The drone stays there till the time it is commanded to take off
The camera features a built-in transmitter which enables to transmit
live video feed to the user for a range of about 1.6km. The drone can be flown
in real time through a radio remote control unit that comes as part of the
package or it can be piloted via flight plan that can be laid out on the
accompanying app. The app can also have the drone float in Follow Me mode. In
this mode, the drone simply follows the user (following the tracking device
that gets attached to the Smartphone).
