Nerves of Steel: a Low-Cost Method for 3D Printing the Cranial Nerves.

Steady-state free precession (SSFP) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can demonstrate details down to the cranial nerve (CN) level. High-resolution three-dimensional (3D) visualization can now quickly be performed at the workstation. However, we are still limited by visualization on flat screens. The emerging technologies in rapid prototyping or 3D printing overcome this limitation. It comprises a variety of automated manufacturing techniques, which use virtual 3D data sets to fabricate solid forms in a layer-by-layer technique. The complex neuroanatomy of the CNs may be better understood and depicted by the use of highly customizable advanced 3D printed models. In this technical note, after manually perfecting the segmentation of each CN and brain stem on each SSFP-MRI image, initial 3D reconstruction was performed. The bony skull base was also reconstructed from computed tomography (CT) data. Autodesk 3D Studio Max, available through freeware student/educator license, was used to three-dimensionally trace the 3D reconstructed CNs in order to create smooth graphically designed CNs and to assure proper fitting of the CNs into their respective neural foramina and fissures. This model was then 3D printed with polyamide through a commercial online service. Two different methods are discussed for the key segmentation and 3D reconstruction steps, by either using professional commercial software, i.e., Materialise Mimics, or utilizing a combination of the widely available software Adobe Photoshop, as well as a freeware software, OsiriX Lite.

Constructing 3D Model of Hardwood Structure

Model constructing was conducted with 3D Studio Max modeling technology for hardwood minute structure in three steps. In the first step, the single-cell models were built according to the true form and shape of various kinds of cells, including vessel elements, wood-fiber cells, longitudinal parenchyma cells and ray cells. In the second step, the single-tissue models for all the four kinds of wood tissues (vessel, wood-fiber, longitudinal parenchyma and wood ray) were constructed by setting the same kind of single-cell models together according to the cell grouping ways inside true wood. In the third step, according to the distributing and arranging ways of the four kinds of wood tissues inside true wood, the whole model of wood block in minute structure was constructed by assembling the four kind of single-tissue models in a block. After that, the virtual model in computer was materialized by means of modern 3D printing technology, and finally the solid model in minute structure of Ficus microcarpa wood was constructed.

Archaeoastronomical experiments supported by virtual simulation environments: Celestial alignments in the Antinoeion at Hadrian's Villa (Tivoli, Italy)

The archaeological site at Hadrian's Villa (Tivoli, Italy) conventionally called the Antinoeion was used as a test-bed for studying the utility of simulation environments for archaeoastronomical research. The site consists of a sanctuary with three temples facing an open plaza which may, or may not, have had an obelisk in the center. Two reconstruction models were made of the site using AutoCAD and 3D Studio Max. In one version, the obelisk was present; in the other, there was no obelisk. The models were imported into two simulation environments: Unity and Stellarium. They were then used to support observations of the sun in relationship to the built features in the sanctuary throughout the year. Several solar alignments were detected, and the dates and times in the two simulation environments coincided, thereby allowing us to replicate our own results. The most important result is the orientation of the site’s main axis toward sunrise on the summer solstice. Stellarium also supported simulation of the nighttime sky. An interesting alignment was observed between the asterism Antinous and one of the temples; a second temple appears to be associated closely with Sirius. The results of the study suggest that simulation environments can facilitate archaeoastronomical research. They also suggest that the excavator was correct in identifying the site at Hadrian's Villa as an Antinoeion.

Hybrid Representation: Intaglio Etching of Digital Models

This paper explores an alternative approach to architectural representation by using computation and digital modeling to develop novel modes of drawing. The project was initiated for the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR 2014) and was exhibited in the seminal Kunsthal Rotterdam in the summer of 2014. The project, entitled Weerkas, was a set of twelve intaglio etchings. A combination of digital modeling programs such as Rhino, Grasshopper and 3D Studio Max and drafting software AutoCAD were used to develop the drawings. The digital files were photo-transferred and etched using a polymer intaglio plate. The analog/digital hybrid explores the limitations of such a combined means of expression and its possible significance in developing a two from three-dimensional drawing technique.

Analysis of Lighting Performance between Single Dome and Pyramid Roof Mosque in Mostar, Bosnia Herzegovina

Abstract This study analyses a level of lighting performance between pedentive dome and pyramid roof mosque's construction in Mostars, Bosnia Herzegovina. The selected case studies are Karadjoz Beg (pedentive dome) and Neziraga Mosque (pyramid roof) which are located less than 500 metres apart from each other. The purpose is to assess information on the architectural roof design in relation to lighting performance. This assessment is simulated during winter equinox where it provides results when the sun is perimetering at its maximum position at the Tropic of Capricorn. This study applies simulation analysis for of the case study using Autodesk software known as 3DStudio Max programme. This programme creates simulation of the illuminance level to the indoor building areas during winter season when the sun is perimetering at its most southern point along Tropics of Capricorn. A weather file is inserted in the programme during simulation process as a tool to gain accurate condition of the local weather. The analysis shows that mosque with pedentive dome design provides evenly distributed illuminance level with Scale 2 and 3 lighting performance inside the mosque compared to pyramid roof design only with Scale 2. The study concludes that having better illuminance level distributed at all the locations is one of the crucial reasons why the mosques with pedentive dome roof cover are popularly built in Bosnia as well its neighbouring regions by the Ottoman master builders.
