Custom 3D-Printed Rollers for Frieze Pattern Cookies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inspired by ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals, we describe a method for converting images of repeating patterns, e.g., Roman friezes or Escher tessellations, into 3D-printed rollers for shaping custom-designed cookies. The rollers may be used as a math club activity to make cookies for a math event and can also be used in other creative works, e.g., imprinting ceramics and similar materials. Examples are shown of sugar cookies based on tessellation patterns of M.C. Escher, and the idea can be extended to many types of patterns and media. The 3D files and the generating software are made freely available, so anyone can download them and produce rollers for their own favorite frieze patterns.

Improving the trajectory of transpedicular transdiscal lumbar screw fixation with a computer-assisted 3D-printed custom drill guide
Transpedicular transdiscal screw fixation is an alternative technique used in lumbar spine fixation; however, it requires an accurate screw trajectory. The aim of this study is to design a novel 3D-printed custom drill guide and investigate its accuracy to guide the trajectory of transpedicular transdiscal (TPTD) lumbar screw fixation. Dicom images of thirty lumbar functional segment units (FSU...

Both groups were compared in terms of ope...
متن کاملAutomating hESC differentiation with 3D printing and legacy liquid handling solutions
Historically, the routine use of laboratory automation solutions has been prohibitively expensive for many laboratories. As legacy hardware has begun to emerge on the secondary market, automation is becoming an increasingly affordable option to augment workflow in virtually any laboratory. To assess the utility of legacy liquid handling in stem cell differentiation, a used liquid handling robot...
