'The technical term for this would be a serial link micro-macro manipulator arm,' Julian Bell explained. Nearby, at another BUILD workspace, an electronic whistling sound is produced by a different kind of arm at work. Julian Bell of Mediated Matter at the MIT Media Lab demonstrates the robotic arm of the Digital Construction Platform which one day could build foam structures on the moon, Mars, and beyond. Leonard's goal is to go from a scanned image of an amputee's arm to computerized custom design, to finished 3D printed product - using a plant-based plastic. 'We're trying to take a different approach and trying to capture some more of the anatomical movement that you naturally have that sometimes gets lost when you wear a socket,' Leonard said.

Leonard is designing a process to update the prosthetic arm attachment system. LeonardВ was a firefighter from Rhode Island turned inventor when he learned the hard way that fitting artificial arms and attaching them to the body with a socket has changed little in decades. 'IВ got a flesh-eating bacterial infection and IВ ended up going into a coma and they had to amputate in order for me to survive. Meeting Braden Leonard, the founder of Hand Made Prosthetics, was a little awkward. (Jesse Costa/WBUR)ДЄt a workspace next to MetaComb is a BUILDer resident who turned personal necessity into the mother of a new invention. Braden Leonard of Hand Made Prosthetics in Newport, RI demonstrates a new design for a better fitting sleeve for a prosthetic wrist. The prefab wall panels could cut costs and the pollution from transporting materials to work sites. 'What you're looking at here,'В Tsodokov said, 'is a high performance, relatively inexpensive panel that is sourced and manufactured locally, to be consumed locally.' MetaComb is trying to automate the process to turn corrugated cardboard tossed into the trash into a super strong, sustainable building material. 'We're humbly trying to resolve world problems.' 'What we're doing here is continuing work that originally started in my Cambridge garage,' saidВ Seva Tsodokov, founder of MetaComb Inc. Rebuilding Cardboard Stronger - And More Sustainable Seva Tsodokov of MetaComb holds a prefabricated building panel made from recycled waste stream corrugated cardboard.

Here, startups are free to explore the limits of their industrial design imaginations. It's a place where - for a few months - competitively selected tech teams get unlimited access to specialized software, expensive equipment, expertise and workspace at no cost.

The waterjet is just one of the dozens of state-of-the-art machine tools in the 34,000-square-foot BUILD Space. The waterjet shoots out a stream of ground-up garnet and water at 87,000 pounds per square inch - enough power to slice through glass, steel, even titanium. Stefanie Pender is the shop supervisor at the BUILD Space.В 'I can't think of a material that it won't go through,' Pender said as she started up a high-power waterjet. 'What we're doing here is to look beyond the incremental - over the horizon whereВ we can't see yet,' said Rick Rundell, senior director at the BUILD (Building, Innovation, Learning, and Design) Space industrial workshop. Two years ago, California-based design-software company Autodesk set up shop in Boston's so-called Innovation District with some innovative ideas of its own.

Projects include autonomous robotic arms that one day could build shelters on the moon, Mars and beyond, and robo-furniture that can convert rooms to fit your needs - on command.

They're experimenting with new construction technologies and design techniques that promise to transform the way things are made.

Overall, Autodesk Build can help your team leverage project data to minimize risk and increase profitability.ДonвЂ™t worry about missing the webinar. ItвЂ™s a great session for construction managers, project managers, coordinators, and field teams where communication is most critical for project success. You will see how the solution links stakeholders and information, not just between the jobsite and office but throughout all stages of the project-from design to plan to build through to operations.
