Elev- 8 Y- 6 Multicopter Kit

The Elev- 8 Y- 6 multicopter from Parallax is a flying robotics platform that is lifted and propelled by six fixed pitch rotors. Unlike other 'tri-copter' platforms, the Y- 6 has a motor mounted on the top and bottom of each boom. This double-stack of the motors gives added payload capabilities, and provides system redundance in case of a sudden motor loss, making the platform safer to fly.

The Elev- 8 Y- 6 is an outdoor platform and has plenty of room for payloads and attachments up to 4 lbs.

Key features include:

• Open underbody for accessory and camera mounting.

• Redundant flight platform enabled by the use of two motors per boom arm.

• Four pound payload capacity.

• Open source design files available to download and use.

• LED strips wrap horizontally around the motor booms giving precise orientation markers.

• Uses common 4-40 hardware that can be found in most local hardware stores.

• Modular frame allows repairs and modifications to the platform to be performed quickly and easily. Price is $799.

iSense iPad-compatible Scanner

3D Systems presents its iSense™ 3D scanner — a new 3DS consumer scanner for iPad with seamless 3D printing optimization. The iSense is ideal for physical photography, empowering users to easily capture moments in every dimension. Created for 3DS by Occipital and powered by Structure Sensor technology, iSense can be used on anything.

Users don’t have to stand still or place an object into a box as required with other 3D scanners;

they can simply attach the iSense to an iPad, and can literally walk around and scan entire objects or environments obtaining a photorealistic copy of the real thing. iSense is powered by the same software as 3DS’ popular Sense scanner. As the newest addition to 3DS’ consumer offering, the iSense fully integrates with the Cube® family of consumer and prosumer 3D printers, and also offers direct upload options to Cubify.com for Cloud printing in a range of materials including ceramix, aluminix, and clear. iSense will be fully compatible with apps designed for Occipital’s Structure Sensor.

iSense is priced at $499 and will be available during the second quarter of 2014 on Cubify.com, as well as in hundreds of retail stores worldwide.
