3D printed cast

3D printed cast could heal bones 40 per cent faster

3D printed cast

Designed by Turkish industrial designer Deniz Karasahin says that 3d printed cast will improve the overall healing experience for broken or fractured limbs by focusing on the patient’s comfort and the amount of time needed for the body to heal itself. Karasahin also says that the Cast is environmentally friendly and water resistant as well as being slimmer and lighter than traditional casts. The 3d casts would be customized for each patient. In order to fit the limb perfectly the injured area is scanned using a 3d body scanner. The subsequent data is transferred to a modelling software, where the overall size and geometry of the cast is decided.

3D printed cast

The idea is that, by tailoring a 3D-printed cast to leave the space directly above an injured bone open, doctors could then fit them with ultrasonic devices that would speed the healing process. Ultrasound devices aren't a new concept in the healing of bones, but traditional plaster casts aren't very compatible with them. By precisely positioning the ultrasonic pulse generators over the damaged bones, 3D-printed casts provide the best healing available, even when you're out and about. With daily 20 minute ultrasound treatments, broken bones could be healed 38 to 80 percent quicker, depending on the injury.

Biosphere Home Farming

Incredible Biosphere Home Farming concept by Philips

Home Farming explores growing at least part of your daily calorific requirement inside your house. This biosphere home farm has been designed to occupy a minimum of floor space and instead to stack the various mini-ecosystems on top of each other. It contains fish, crustaceans, algae and edible plants, all interdependent and in balance with each other. Water filtration, recycling of nutrients and optimum use of sunlight are all central to its appeal.

Biosphere Home Farming

When you are living in the suburbs or the country side, it's easy to grow your own food. Veggies like tomatoes and some fruits like apples tend to grow quite easily. However, the closer you move to a city, the harder it gets. It's just the lack of green space. Not a lot of people have access to huge gardens in the city center. That's where this concept from Philips tries to help out allowing people to grow their own food, no matter where they are located.

Toyota RLV Hybrid

Toyota RLV Hybrid pedal assist and electric concept.

The RLV features dual power trains, a system that, Toyota says, "identifies with L.A.'s two most-used speeds - five or 75 miles per hour." Toyota participated in design challenge for LA Auto Show in 2006.

Toyota RLV Hybrid

At slow speeds, the RLV, an aluminum two-seater, could be pedalled like a bicycle. Electric power would be used for higher speeds. As speed increases, the RLV's tire track width would expand, through the use of telescoping axles, for greater stability.ons, capable enough to apply enhances in pages, digital screens, panels or galleries.”

Air Globe Electrolux concept

Air Globe can simulate any weather on the Earth.

Air Globe is a 2014 Electrolux Design Lab Competition entry, by designer Pei-Chih Deng.
The device simulates the ambiance of any destination by collecting real-time data on the temperature, humidity levels, smells and even the sounds of the area. The Air Globe rotates on an axis, making it easy for the user to explore different climates with a basic command of geography. The viewfinder at the top of the 3D map incorporates a magnification function for those of you looking to do some city specific globetrotting.

Air Globe Electrolux concept

In the past,people would set up the degrees of temperature and humidity. However,the numbers do not contain any meaning to the users other than sending the parameters to a machine. Now with "Air Globe", users do not merely select the numbers, but to select the places they want to be in and to fill the room with the air for specific purposes. Perhaps not all of us can travel around the world. With "Air Globe" we can choose to experience the air from different destinations each day and to spice up the daily routine.

Apple Watch, is it hit or miss??

The iWatch has arrived, and it’s called Apple Watch

Way too much hype is surrounding it. Everyone seems to think that it will be a hit because it is an Apple product. We see the iWatch penetrating the younger crowd. Soon after, interest will drop. Is it going to be a hit?? Only time will tell. We don’t think Swiss watch industry is in a trouble.

Apple Watch, is it hit or miss??

Apple Watch

The device has a square face. The display activates as you raise your wrist. The crown's spin changes what it does based on the context in which it's used. It allows zooming, control adjustment, and scrolling— and it's also the home button. There's also a button that allows you to call up your contact list.

Apple Watch

The Watch features interchangeable bands in a variety of materials, including a magnet-stuffed leather band that closes itself around your wrist, and a steel bracelet with a deployment-style clasp. There are two watch sizes, Apple has bundled the different options together into three distinct collections (aluminium, stainless steel and 18-carat gold).

Our Take

It it definitely the best smart watch today. There’s no question about that. There is lots unknown about Apple Watch (battery life, water resistance, etc). But, we still don’t get all the hype about “Smart Watch”. Maybe we are old fashioned, Watch to tell the time and iPhone for everything else.

Apple Watch

Too bad there’s no round version of the Apple Watch, we are not completely sold on a square face of the Watch. If you are into Fitness and Workout - this watch is amazing. SMS, Maps, and all the other “Smart” features, we are not so sure.

iSpace designers Workstation

Cool digital drawing board concept by Jameel Kamil.

iSpace designers Workstation merges the physical scale of the classic designer’s board with the functionality of a tablet into one unit. The iSpace Workstation is essentially an enormous flat screen computer monitor that stands on its sturdy tower and immediately digitizes everything that you draw.

iSpace designers Workstation

We really like Jameel Kamil's concept. It’s nice new wist on a classic drawing board.
We like the idea of working naturally, directly on the HD screen. Unfortunately it’s unrealistic and it will never happen. Also there is a problem with a modern software. You would still need keyboard and mouse.

 

iSpace designers Workstation

If you really want Interactive Pen Display, you might as well buy Wacom Cintiq. The best combination of touch display and digitizer pen on the market. 22” Wacom Cintiq is expensive ($2500) little quizmo, just imagine how much iSpace Workstation would be.
