9. Train & bus to hightech fun...
2 years ago
My brother is self-employed and works with so-called 'rapid prototyping'. While he's on vacation, I'm looking after the machines. Only problem is that I have to travel quite a bit to get there - from Odense to Aarhus to be exact (160 km / 100 miles).

I figured that someone out there would find it interesting to have a look at Danish landscapes / cities, so here's me on the move by train and bus. At the end, you'll see what rapid prototyping is all about. Hope these 12 minutes doesn't feel too long :)

    Cool. Is the "toys" a type of a 3D printer?

    Hi Henry

    Yes, they produce 3D models - You can have a look at the company that makes the machines here:
    eos.info/home.html?L=1

    These machines use plastic powder and lasers. Anything you can create in a CAD / CAM program on your computer, can be 'printed' on it.

    Most often, these models are 'wrapped' in a harder material and the plastic is melted away. The harder material is then used as a mould to create aluminium / aluminum parts.

    Some machines use sand and glue instead of powder and laser. The Italian car maker Ferrari uses this technique for all their engine parts... Most companies however use these techniques for prototypes only.

    Rico - Great track selection. It suits this video so well, i used to listen to Ulrich Schnauss far away trains passing by on a lot of my train journeys. Loved the feeling i got from it gliding by fields and listening away.

    :) I'm a big Schnauss fan myself. I found Manual on last.fm when listening to Schnauss's similar artists. Manual (aka Jonas Munk) is actually from my home town of Odense - never heard of him before I found him on last.fm/music/manual

    It's funny how so many Vimeo users seem to listen to music that I enjoy myself.

    Very interesting. I've thought about doing something like this, too. Did anybody on the train ask you what you were doing?

    The person next to me had a few looks, but I was in the 'quiet' part of the train, where people are supposed to be quiet :)
