The job of an engineer hasn’t changed in the 90 years since Machine Design first published. The role is still to improve the performance and lower the cost of problem-solving devices, as well as the ...

If you imbued hacker technology with the artistic impulses of a crayon-wielding toddler, you’d get something like Harvey Moon’s “Drawing Machine”: a robotic contraption that transforms scanned ...

Arduino enthusiasts that are looking for a new creative project to build, might take inspiration from a new electromechanical drawing machine that has been built, which is powered by music and has ...

Not all of us have CNC machines, laser cutters and 3D printers, and I’ll bet most of us didn’t start out that well equipped. The low-cost drawing machine that [jegatheesan] made for his daughter ...

Researchers have developed an automatic drawing machine that uses pens and pencils to draw metamaterials -- artificially engineered composite materials that derive their properties from patterned ...

ALL teachers of electrical engineering are aware of the need for a text-book on the drawing and construction of electrical apparatus. This attempt, however, to supply the need is disappointing.

Inspired by the Martin Scorsese film Hugo, an obsessive Lego enthusiast built a programmable machine that writes messages and draws pictures. All you have to do is turn a crank. Andrew Carol, who ...

A true Lego enthusiast like Apple software engineer Andrew Carol can build wonders it seems. After watching Martin Scorsese’s Hugo movie, he started building a mysterious automaton machine as he saw ...

The master’s in machine learning engineering from Drexel Engineering provides the skills needed to take on the transformation of science and technology and a successful career in an exciting ...

A raster drawing from a scanner can be converted to a vector format for later use, such as finite-element analysis. Raster drawings can be compressed to store in less disk space than the same drawing ...
