There is a nice article on the Statasys Smoothing Station here.

Is there a minimum age for the math office hours tonight?

This reminds me of the images I’ve seen of the tip of an insulin needle. They showed the sharp pristine needle, the blunter tip after one use, and a very bent and dulled tip after six uses. (It was part of an explanation of why you shouldn’t re-use needles.)

What a cool piece of gear. I hope I can get some time to swing by and see this thing in action.

I think I should take a look at that. There’s some problem, though, with the Isis. I’ve heard from the donor that they replaced the HV power supply to no avail, and it is either electronics or software.

I’d be interested in seeing what the Isis could do….

I’ve found the original ethernet card this thing came with. And we’ve got a network drop to the scope now. The limiting factors are:

1. I want to image the hard drive so we have a backup in case anything goes wrong with drivers, etc.

2. It has been many, many years since I did networking under Windows so there is going to be a relearning curve.

The isis box will work for digital image capture even if the EDS detector is non-functional. Isis typically controlled column and scan control digitally in order to allow for eds mapping. If you can bring the sytem back to life, you will have a working digitial imaging system that is potentially superior to that of the SEM. In my previous experience with this family of microscopes, we were able to map the 3.1 system via ethernet to a network server and file sharing.

I was wondering if there are any days open for the blacksmithing class? About 2 of my friends want to take it too but not sure how to sing up.

Hi Jason, I mostly just went over the bone101 presentation.
