Plototyper
A web interface offers the possibility to upload and editpictures from cellphones,USB sticks, hard discs ... The pictures are delivered via web server to the Plototyper machine.Several plastic tubes are being cut at the maschine¹s top and afterwards put onto a onesquare-meter-sized grid. Each of the small tubes represents one pixel of the loaded picture. From thousands of small tubes the picture gets rebuilton the machine¹s grid. After the tubes are placed, a hot roller fixes all tubes by melting the surface.Via Rapid Prototyping the machine manages to build layers of three-dimensional objects which are melted together.
