The third public evolution of the Animaris Geneticus Parvus. #7 has evolved legs, with pointy feet instead of flat. Featuring a fully working Theo Jansen mechanism as used in his work "the Rhinoceros".
Also see our new Propeller Propulsion add-on, to have your Strandbeest walk autonomously!

The mechanism is printed assembled, and will work without further assembly right after birth from the printer.

A few tips to consider:

- After birth there might be a little powder left in some joints, or it might not go supersmooth. This will fix itself after the animal has a little bit of practice!

- Some surfaces work better than others. The legs require a little friction, and a flat surface. So for example: A rough table or floor, thin flat carpeting, or a thin rubber sheet. It will slip on a too smooth surface.

- The best way to push it is by its nameplate. Do not push down, but forward.

- The beest is light, but quite strong. It can actually be dropped without breaking. It is not a "toy" however, and not suitable for children. The 3D printer material is easy to stain so clean hands are advised.

 This 2in wide cuff is truly a bold accessory! It features a flexible C-shaped design that fits closely against the wrist. It was grown from 4 separate root points which gradually intertwined into a single network.

watch the video to see how it was created!

Hyphae is a collection of 3D printed artifacts constructed of rhizome-like networks. Inspired by the vein structures that carry fluids through organisms from the leaves of plants to our own circulatory systems, we created a simulation which uses physical growth principles to build sculptural, organic structures. Starting from an initial seed and a surface, we grow a hierarchical network where nodes constantly branch and merge. The densely interconnected structure is at once airy and strong.

No1 in the series of animal heads, a smaller version of the 570mm high Stag Head  (which is not available on Shapeways)

There is also a 75mm version here  and a 300mm version here

No 2 is a Zebra. 

No 3 is a Rhino. A large Rhino  is also available.



No 4 is a Tiger. 

Tiger Head 2. 

No 5 is an Elephant. 

I'm experimenting with telling a story using minimal material to save on printing cost while inspiring the imagination.

Please send your pictures and share your thoughts on the design.

I created the skeleton of a skeletal Lepidoptera. The Death's Head Hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos), seen on The Silence of the Lambs , has a skull marking on its back. I made a full human-like bone structure for the moth, with the grinning skull protruding from its back.

The model is very thin, yet sturdy and flexible. Detail level is fantastic, and the natural texture of the 3d printing process gives it a bone-like appearance that works wonders.

Yes, moths don't have endoskeletons, that's the whole point...

A Voronoi network wrapped onto a Möbius toroid.

Yes I did go there. After talking to Christopher Carter from Shapeways, he made me realize the power of the Meme. So here you have it, the mightly anteater who doesn't give a damn. Don't forget to check out ((F U I'm Anta Claus)) and the ((honey badger))

This Voronoi network has the symmetry of a snub dodecahedron...almost. It is my homage to the wonderful diatoms of the world.

This is the same as Elephant Lovely but with a color shell.
