Plastic surgery pre-viz app Plasticom
1.0 ships 08/02/2004 03:12 PM
Belgian developer eX-cinder has announced the release of Plasticom 1.0, which was originally available as a Beta release, as MacCe ntral reported in January. The software allows a plastic surgeon to import digital images of a patient and manipulate them with warp curves that are placed on the pictures and reshaped. Thanks to Plasticom's use of the Morph Age 2.0 engine, the results are rendered in real-time, and the software can export the final version to a TIFF, PNG or JPEG file. The initial images can be imported from TIFF, PDF, GIF, JPEG and other formats. Plasticom 1.0 requires Mac OS X v10.3 and sells for US$150, with site licenses available for $600.

Plastic Algue

Plastic Algue 09/08/2004 10:24 AM

This Algue wall covering isn't organic - it's only inspired by algae, not made from it. Each 12-inch by 8-inch plastic piece clips to the next in a variety of ways, allowing you to create a flowing, natural divider between rooms or to break up the starkness of a blank wall. They aren't even that expensive - $200 for 50 pieces at the showroom.

As is typical for fancy, avant garde home decorating items, a briny shanty smell is not included.

Plastic that changes shape with light

Plastic that changes shape with light 04/14/2005 03:48 PM
David Pescovitz: Shape memory alloy, materials that change shape based on a temperature increase, are old news for roboticists. But MIT scientists have developed a new plastic that shapeshifts in response to light. From the MIT News Office:

These programmed materials change shape when struck by light at certain wavelengths and return to their original shapes when exposed to light of specific different wavelengths.

The discovery, to be reported in the April 14 issue of Nature, could have potential applications in a variety of fields, including minimally invasive surgery. Imagine, for example, a "string" of plastic that a doctor could thread into the body through a tiny incision. When activated by light via a fiber-optic probe, that slender string might change into a corkscrew-shaped stent for keeping blood vessels open.

If Plastic Discs Are Dead, What's Next?

If Plastic Discs Are Dead, What's Next? 03/22/2005 05:03 PM
Wired Magazine is now suggesting that discs are dead as a storage medium. With all the battling going on over the next generation of DVD technology, Wired's products editor, Robert Capps, notes that not very many people seem to care about the new "high definition" audio CDs that have come out. Instead, everyone's focused on getting an iPod and digitizing their music. While video is definitely more difficult to transport via the internet, the argument is that the technology is improving for compressing and transmitting larger files. Of course, it might be interesting to put Capps in a debate with Mark Cuban -- who also thinks that discs are dead, but that portable hard drives or flash drives will take their place. Cuban's argument is that "storage is expanding far more quickly than upload or download speeds to our homes," so it's going to be more efficient to move around hard drives than bits of high definition content. With some already experimenting with offer ing content on iPods, it is beginning to look like this battle for the next plastic disc technology may be a waste of time. Update: Then again, some analysts think discs will be big business for the next five years. Of course, analysts always seem to be overly positive in their predictions -- it's what helps sell reports.

Plastic Muscles Get Stronger

Plastic Muscles Get Stronger 03/08/2004 11:16 PM
Wired has an article talking about how electroactive polymers (EAPs) have gotten stronger and longer lasting. EAPs have gotten strong enough to have a practical self contained robot (NiTi never has gotten this strong). These muscles rival motors in that they're very quiet and very strong and now long lasting enough to use as fans in computers. EAPs can expand to 5 times their size, a feat unproducible by piezoelectric materials. Of course these new EAPs have the Navy's attention. Look for plastic muscles in your robot's future!?

“Many research groups are working to produce flexible electronics. Most of those groups are working to improve the electrical capabilities of organic, or plastic, materials. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign are taking a different tack. They are finding ways to produce extremely small electrical components from crystalline silicon that can be attached to a plastic backing. Traditional silicon components have much better electrical properties than organic ones. The components could be used…

Making a plastic texture with The GIMP

Making a plastic texture with The GIMP 04/11/2005 04:13 AM
I got the idea for this project during a visit to a jewelry art exhibition. The artwork on display incorporated an amazing range of unconventional media, including rusted iron, precious stones and metals, wood, plastic, and the like. One of the most interesting creations among the "wearable art pieces" was a plastic object with a satin finish. I liked this satin effect so much that I decided to re-create it as a graphic material using the GIMP.
