PROJECTS

3D Printing & Geometric Models
==============================
	Sifter?  [Diana -- I'll give you $]
	Universal claw design -- progressing
	Painting models -- continuing
	Gillian exploring http://www.georghart.com (George Hart is
		a sculptor/computer scientist who pioneered 3D printing,
		and introduced me to the technique).
	Need to find out how much powder we have in stock at Z-corp...

D-Forms
=======
	Working on it ...
	When curvature is zero, torsion is undefined, as it relies on
		the normal vector.

Knight's Visor

	Nearly finished
	Image of Knight's Visor
		w/o copyright violation somehow!

        http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke/DTS/Sum05/PopUpDraft.html for latest 
	Features:  
		The first of Ana's photos of key cards; 
		and 3D Knight's visor figures, 
		which will all be replaced by similar figures tomorrow. 
	Next week: On to rotation!
		
Protein Folding
===============
	Samri has some molecule .wrl files, which Z-printer accepts
	"WRL files, also known as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language).
	WRL files are:
	    * ASCII
	    * Color
	    * 3D
	    * No compression
	    * 1 image "
	Seek both sphere model and stick (backbone) model of same protein.
