The diamondoid atomically precise manufacturing and technology (DAPMAT) demo project collection.

A collection of projects conducted by Lukas M. Süss (aka mechadense) for the creation of a collection of 3D printable models that illustrate functional parts in advanced diamondoid nanofactories.

(TODO: add a picture of the whole printed collection)

convergent assembly visualisations

• two iterations fourfould multiplier with elongated bottom: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:582270

(TODO: more realistic with only a single bigger step visible)

crystolecules

• Drexlers big bearing as printable model http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:631715

• Fractal tetrahedron design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:13786

microcomponent models

• truncated octahedra assembled into the main planes: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:409443
• single big truncated octahedron model (by ?)

vacuum management

• novel lockout mechanism (TODO: publish) -- on flickr: [1] [2] See: "Vacuum handling" for details.
• progressing cavity pump (TODO: publish)

shape locking

• stiff rod: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:200203
• chains (two example types): http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:591203

complete set of passive elements for mechanical circuits sub-projects

• mechanical distribution node: (TODO: improve and publish)
• (TODO: spring, flywheel, ...)

infinitesimal bearing

• old and new model - work in progress (TODO: improve and publish)
• (animated visualisation) (TODO: publish 3D-model)
