DIYROCKETS and Sunglass are taking a step towards the general availability of aerospace development using joint 3D modeling
San Francisco - On March 8, DIYROCKETS , an open space university , and Sunglass, a 3D modeling cloud service, announced a partnership in launching the world's first publicly available source contest for creating 3D printed rocket engines through collaborative design.
The competition seeks to make space design open, and NASA, MIT and TED judges will select three winners with the legendary inventor Dean Kamen .
')
Registration for the competition began on March 9 at the conference-festival of original music, independent cinema and new technologies South By Southwest (SXSW) .
The competition calls on manufacturers, designers and entrepreneurs to create publicly available rocket engines that will serve the growing market for delivering small payloads to low earth orbit and ultimately destroy the current industry of space launches. Although several companies have recently made strides in demonstrating the power of the private sector in space exploration, DIYROCKETS goes further, creating the first of many competitions that encourage the fusion of creativity, technology, and cooperation of people around the world.
The use of the Sunglass cloud platform for visualizing, collaborating, versioning and exchanging information on each project with team members and the public from anywhere in the world is intended to significantly reduce the cost of designing and creating innovative technologies for all types of space equipment and parts, starting from space engines to space medical sensors.
Teams will be able to select a 3D modeling environment from SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Rhino, or CATIA, using Sunglass for synchronization. The DIYROCKETS strategic partnership with Sunglass is the first step in creating an open and collaborative space design, as the company offers the full use of its platforms for the collaboration of all contestants.
As the lead sponsor, Sunglass will award the winners with a total of $ 10,000, focusing on the technical aspects and success of team collaboration. Shapeways.com - the global market leader in 3D printing, will provide $ 500 and free 3D printing to implement the best projects.
The competition will be judged;
- the legendary inventor Dean Kaymen,
- Senior Researcher at TED and NASA HI-SEAS Crew Commander Mars Simulations (a 120-day experiment in Hawaii simulating Martian conditions) Angelo Vermeulen ,
- a young nuclear scientist who built a fusion reactor (fuser) in 2008 at the age of 14, Taylor Wilson
and a group of space industry experts from NASA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, TED.
“ We are pleased to work with Sunglass and Shapeways and use open source capabilities, 3D printing and cloud collaboration to help our efforts to accelerate the advancement of space research ,” said Darlene Damm, co-founder and co-chairman of DIYROCKETS. “ Finally, there is a shift in NASA towards private and public innovation, and technology is more accessible than ever, and we see it as an opportunity to revise design and technology for space from scratch .”
" Our goal at Sunglass is to help translate the following amazing ideas into production faster through global collaboration ," said Nitin Rao, co-founder of Sunglass. “ By joining forces with DIYROKKETS and Shapeways to solve the problem of 3D design of rocket engines, we will be able to preview the incredible impact that 3D printing and cloud collaboration will have on the development of aerospace technology .”
In less than a year, Sunglass has made tremendous progress in creating opportunities for designers, architects and engineers around the world to easily work together on 3D models using their cloud platform. Having exceeded obligations, the number of paid users and groups using Sunglass is growing steadily, and the company continues to bring innovations to the 3D modeling industry, accelerating the realization of great ideas in products.
