Autobahn https://ift.tt/3HZI2bk Dutch creative studio Autobahn was never meant to be a design outfit at all: it was meant to be a band. It seemed music would be the destiny of four graphic design classmates, who between them, could play guitar, piano and bass; mix beats; and “sort of” sing. But it wasn’t meant to be, thanks to, we’re told a combination of “lacking harmony, musicality and musicians of any calibre.” One night, that same quartet was watching The Big Lebowski. “As a side story within this movie, three German nihilists claim to be a band, but they never played any music,” Autobahn cofounder Rob Stolte explains. “At one point, the lead character Lebowski pulls out an album from a crate that read ‘Autobahn Nagelbett’. Intrigued by the typography and design, someone from the never-to-be-band shouted, ‘Autobahn, that’s us!’ The band never took off, but the name Autobahn stuck. Early on in the life of the studio, it was invited to perform at a Pecha Kucha night in Amsterdam (NL). However, the team wasn’t convinced that their typographic designs were interesting enough to talk about in front of an audience so instead they started to created their own digital typefaces in a project dubbed FreshFonts. This saw them print a large alphabet in Helvetica, then trace the letterforms in ketchup, hair gel and toothpaste. These were then photographed and digitized to create three typefaces: Tomatica (ketchup), Gelvetica (hair gel) and Heldentica (toothpaste). “The creation process was great fun but the font was a far cry from high quality design,” says Stolte. “The boys weren’t sure it would appeal to their audience. However, the ‘making of’ seemed to be a good story and focal point for their talk.” The team offered the three typefaces as free downloads; and the talk got a lot of attention – including a piece in a national newspaper and Autobahn’s site traffic hitting 60,000 unique visitors per month. Since then, experimentation has been an intrinsic part of studio life for Autobahn, which incorporates experiments throughout their assignments for clients. We spoke to Stolte to find out more. Why is experimentation important to you as a studio? It forces clients to commercialize and get a grip on time, money and assets. This led to some great projects, including a stone carved typeface for Sony Playstation; a duct tape inspired typeface for Nike Bootcamp and recently the design of a modern-day scriptorium for Graphic Matters, used throughout a cycle route in the Netherlands. These projects were shown in international exhibitions, numerous book and magazine publications and won prestigious design awards. It became apparent that letters are not just ‘carriers’ that are there to form text. The letter type is far more symbolic with a bigger role, communicating further meaning to its reader. Autobahn recognised that the semiotic relationship between form, content, meaning and letters as images gave way to a whole new layering system. Communication was no longer black and white and the design possibilities endless. You’ve run Autobahn alongside cofounder and co-creative director Maarten Dullemeijer since 2005. What makes for a successful partnership between two people in running a studio? We complement each other well because we are opposites in many aspects. Where Maarten is analytical, precise and real a designer, I do things by feel, guide design processes and am a concept thinker. Because of this contrast, we always explore the entire spectrum of an assignment. All perspectives are reviewed. But the personal differences sometimes also cause disagreement and misunderstanding. When that happens, we make sure that one person takes the lead in a project and makes decisions. This is often the person who maintains contact with the customer. Sometimes we use these differences to play good cop bad cop. In this way we can clarify things, create understanding and sometimes force things. What sort of projects and clients do you find most satisfying? The projects that appeal most to us are projects where we can create interesting communication by using words, materials and a challenging context in which all this is displayed. We love to challenge ourselves to experiment. We do not create a design twice, and don’t depend on a certain style or method. This keeps it interesting for ourselves and our clients. Although this is a lot of work, it gives us the most satisfaction. Autobahn uses the philosophy that projects come and go, but good contacts remain. That’s why Autobahn works with people who share our outlook on life, rather than focusing on big brand names. Autobahn feels most comfortable when they work with people who have the same outlook on life as they do. We need clients’ confidence to be able to experiment and achieve unexpected results. This is where the fun aspect is in an assignment because though this approach each design process is different. The second aspect is honesty. It ensures open communication, so that business aspects of an assignment, such as budget, time and planning, can be easily discussed. Can you tell me a bit more about the Scriptorium project? Scriptorium is a project about the relevance of typographic design, from the monks to modern scripts. The way that visitors interact with the Scriptorium is very satisfying. The amount of participants is way higher than expected. The reactions are very positive. Visitors take the time to reflect on their handwriting, something that doesn’t happen much in this digital age. It gives them satisfaction to work contemplatively with letterforms. It brings the visitor close to the designer at such a moment because they share an experience. That is what we would like to achieve with our designs. What advice would you give young designers on getting into type design? Try to not only focus on the way the letters look, but also the way they function and where they are used. Involve the use of materials when designing. Not all letters need to be designed behind a computer. Aesthetics can be found in flaws or irregularities as well as super tight curves. and on setting up your own studio? Just do it! One of the reasons Autobahn operates as a small studio is because we want to work with people who can hold their own. Designers that chase their own dreams. Don’t be afraid of not having enough paid work. Just take on a side job and gradually grow into your designer role. Develop your design attitude by visualizing and telling stories that you find important. There will always be like-minds that understand you and love to collaborate. And don’t be afraid to reach out to other people. When we admire someone, we just ask them if we can buy them a cup of coffee and have a chat about their work and experience. If you approach someone based on their interests and personality, they will be more likely to meet you than if you ask them for time, work, or an internship. An entrepreneurial attitude goes a long way. How do you go about ensuring the studio has enough time to work on self initiated projects alongside client work? Why are those projects important to you? We work four days a week: the fifth day is for personal time and projects. We always try to involve others into our personal projects. This makes it more fun because you work with new people, but also it makes sure you work on the project because the others depend on you. This makes sure that projects are actually created and finished.

COBOD Customers Receive Grants to 3D Print Houses in U.S. https://ift.tt/3laEFo0 COBOD International A/S, the Danish additive construction company, has entered the U.S. residential housing market. COBOD has previously made news in Europe for 3D printing the continent’s first one-, two-, and three-story buildings, as well as for collaborating with GE Renewable Energy to 3D print windmill towers. COBOD’s latest achievement involves work being done in the United States by three of its customers: PERI Group (also a minority investor in COBOD), Alquist 3D, and Printed Farms Florida. Printed Farms is COBOD’s first U.S. customer, and recently printed its second building. Its first, completed back in February, was a 28×28 ft. agricultural storage shed near West Palm Beach. Printed Farms’ second building, which began construction this past July, is a 1,440 sq. ft., three-bedroom, two-bathroom residential home in Tallahassee. The Florida company produced the home in collaboration with Precision Building & Renovating LLC, and the project received funding from the City of Tallahassee Affordable Housing Construction Loan program. The other recent builds in the U.S. involving COBOD were also produced with funding provided by affordable housing grants. One of Alquist3D’s projects, a 1,550 sq. ft., three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on the outskirts of Richmond, VA, was built jointly with Virginia Tech, and funded by a grant from Virginia Housing. A second project started in September by Alquist3D, in Williamsburg, VA. This one will be 1,200 sq. ft. when completed, and will also have three bedrooms and two bathrooms, in what seems to be a pattern for this type of structure. It is being done in collaboration with the globally-influential nonprofit Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity also worked on the PERI Group project, a 1,740 sq. ft. home begun this past July, in Tempe, AZ. Although this makes just four residential projects so far, the geographic expansiveness of the work being done is notable, as pointed out (in the same press release quoted from above) by Henrik Lund-Nielsen, founder and general manager of COBOD International: “Our printers have now printed buildings in 3 different US states, more than anybody else.” And, not just three different states, but three states in three different regions of the U.S. The economy of scale involved in an industry like construction means that the more widespread the practice of 3D printing becomes, the more quickly it will become even more cost-effective, which is in turn likely to spark even more adopters of the technology. Economy of scale is also relevant when considering the involvement of an organization like Habitat for Humanity, which is the largest nonprofit builder in the world. If Habitat continues to build more and more houses in partnership with firms that use COBOD printers, 3D printed homes will become more cost-effective than they already are, when contrasted with conventional construction methods. Additionally, there’s an intangible factor of legitimacy that comes with working with the type of organization that can count a former president (in the case of Habitat for Humanity, Jimmy Carter) as one of its brand liaisons. Finally, using grants to both showcase an emergent technology and, what’s of course even more important, to produce affordable homes for people who need them, is an excellent way to kill two birds with one stone.

Top 10 Personal Trainer Websites Worth Copying https://ift.tt/3G5jAn9 Health and wellness have become more than a trend — it’s a lifestyle. And people are turning to personal trainers in droves to help them achieve their goals. In fact, to keep up with demand, the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that the personal trainer industry will grow by 15% from 2019 to 2029, adding 57,600 more trainers in a decade. Where do most people find personal trainers? Online, of course. So if you’re a personal trainer, or working for a fitness company, your website needs to be top-notch. We’ve compiled this list of 10 amazing personal training websites along with key lessons you can apply to your own site. Table Of Contents Editor’s note: Are you a personal trainer looking to build your first website? Then, you’ll want to check out the GetResponse Free Website Builder. It comes with modern ready-made templates, an intuitive user interface, and even an AI-creator that’ll build a custom website tailored to your needs. Just answer a few simple questions, choose a design style, and you’ve got at least three personalized templates to choose from. You can watch it in action here: Here are 10 of the best personal trainer websites we’ve seen:There are lots of different ways to showcase your skills as a personal trainer and attract customers. Check out these ten sites to find some inspiration. 1. Girls Gone StrongGirls Gone Strong is a personal training website dedicated to women’s health, strength, and empowerment. As you can see above, their website does a great job of identifying with women right off the bat using both imagery and website’s header. Then the website tells you exactly what they do (women-specific health and fitness coaching and certifications), followed by some serious social proof (recommended by Yale, Johns Hopkins, Time, ABC, Today, Women’s Health, and more). Thanks to these, website visitors know exactly that they’re in the right place and that they can trust this brand. After that, the GSS website offers users a clear path to finding information specific to their goals with three call-to-action (CTA) buttons. Thanks to these descriptive CTAs, clients can select the offer that matches the stage on their fitness journey. As you keep scrolling further, you see articles and a newsletter signup form aimed at those that’d like to follow the brand, and maybe not necessarily sign up for their services just yet. By offering these, GSS can start building relationships with their audience (even after visitors leave the website) and show off their expertise, which will help to bring them more clients in the long run. At the bottom of this website, you’ll also find various kinds of free courses. These lead magnets, as we call them, are great for attracting new clients who may feel hesitant to sign up for the full program. By offering them a free resource, personal trainer gathers their potential client’s contact details and can upsell them with their paid program via email later. Key lessons from the Girls Gone Strong website:
2. Big DawgsBig Dawgs is a personal training website dedicated to athletes. They do a good job of speaking to their target audience in a motivational tone — especially at the top of the site, saying in bold letters: IT’S TIME TO WIN. They also identify who would be a good fit for their coaching services by saying that they work with athletes of all ages and stages of fitness, from “weekend warriors to athletes training for small to large competitions.” The Big Dawgs site also includes a CTA button above the fold, encouraging users to take immediate action using specific language (book a call). This is good because CTA’s are proven to drive conversions and generate leads — even more than AdWords. The average click-through rate (CTR) for AdWords is 2%, compared to 3.5% for a CTA on a landing page. Plus, CTA’s have become so common that they’re just expected. In fact, people are so conditioned to look for a CTA that they may not know how to navigate your site if they don’t find one. Key lessons from the Big Dawg’s website
3. Forge Fitness and Nutrition CoachingThe fitness and nutrition coaching Forge offers is intended for beginners or anyone without access to a gym or fancy equipment. And they identify with this audience right away using an image of a woman working out with just an exercise mat, phone, and water bottle. That’s quite different from the image of a trainer spotting someone lifting weights at a gym on the Big Dawgs site. But it works because Big Dawgs is targeting serious athletes while Forge is targeting everyday people. Below the image, the Forge site immediately explains what they offer, using an accessible and non-intimidating tone. “All fitness and nutrition plans are based on your current condition and ultimate goal while considering your access to workout equipment, experience, and food preferences.” Forge also does a good job of explaining how the training is delivered — which is via their mobile app. Users can track stats, earn badges, and communicate with their personal trainer using the in-app messenger. And the image above shows a screenshot of the app on a phone, giving users a visual understanding before it’s even explained. The Forge website also uses social proof by featuring a scrolling feed of testimonials on the first page. Key lessons from the Forge Fitness website:
4. TrainiacTrainiac offers individualized weekly workouts and 1-on-1 coaching from a certified personal trainer. Their website sends a clear message at the top in bold text, “Get a coach. Get consistent. Get results.” One of the best parts about Traniac’s website is the video embedded above the fold. It shows a male and a female using the Traniac program, with one of them working out at a gym and the other at home. The video features each user’s specific training plan and shows them communicating with a coach. The Trainiac site also does a good job of outlining the onboarding process so potential customers know what to expect. Key lessons from the Trainiac website:
5. TrainerizeTrainerize is a bit different because it isn’t a personal training business itself but a third-party marketplace that many individual trainers pay to use. When users click through the clear and prominent CTA on the landing page to “Find A Trainer,” the site automatically loads with popular personal trainers near the user’s location. Users can then easily change filters with two simple drop-down menus at the top of the page. Once users find trainers or services in their area, they can click through to each person’s individual page for specific programs and pricing. The Trainerize site also has an active, up-to-date blog. They feature several new articles on the landing page with a button to click through for more. Key lessons from the Trainerize website
6. Transform HQTransform HQ was created by TV personalities and extreme transformation duo Chris and Heidi Powell. Their programs offer cost-effective solutions for those interested in personal training. The Transform HQ website does a good job of explaining the benefit to customers right off the bat. For example, the hero header says, “The Transform App Makes Weight Loss Simple. Start Your Transformation Today.” And it’s followed by a clear CTA button to “Get the App.” Their site also does a good job of using social proof, featuring before/after images of users who have lost weight with their program — a very effective strategy in the fitness industry. Key lessons from Transform HQ’s website
7. Fitness BlenderFitness Blender is another personal training business created by a husband/wife duo. And like Transform HQ, Fitness Blender doesn’t offer much in the way of personal coaching, focusing instead on fitness videos, workout programs, and meal plans. The Fitness Blender website makes great use of the above-the-fold section, featuring a photo of the founders Kelli and Daniel along with a detailed menu. What’s interesting is they also show a bit of the next section at the very bottom. By cutting off the section like that, it indicates to users that there’s more to see, encouraging them to keep scrolling. Whereas when the above-the-fold section seems complete in and of itself, users will sometimes bounce. Fitness Blender also includes a bar at the top of the page promoting a new challenge — a good way to draw attention and hook new users. Plus, the Fitness Blender website is ecommerce ready with a well-designed product page and user-optimized checkout process. Key lessons from the Fitness Blender website:
8. Built Phoenix StrongBuilt Phoenix Strong is a personal training business that targets former athletes and their website does several things right. For starters, it makes signing up risk free by offering the first 7 days for only $1. Second, it uses social proof in a big way — name dropping high-profile clients like the Miami Dolphins, Atlanta Braves, and Arizona Cardinals. Plus, it includes a bright red icon saying they’re the “highest-rated and most reviewed personal trainer in Roswell.” Below the social proof, the BPS website has a CTA button with clear action language telling the user what will happen when they click the button. And it’s just an exploratory action that contributes further to the “risk-free” feeling of trying this service. Last but not least, their website includes a video explaining their personal training method and philosophy right at the top so users can tell if it’s a good fit before putting in any more effort. Key lessons from the Built Phoenix Strong website:
9. Upside Aerial Arts & FitnessOn a mission to provide adults with an outlet for creative body movements, Upside Aerial Arts & Fitness is a unique and highly specialized personal training business. And they use their website to immediately communicate what they do — with a full video background showing a woman swinging from aerial silks. The full menu along the top is another good feature on Upside Aerial’s website, especially since their services are so unique. It allows users to easily explore the site using customer-centric choices like an FAQ, Classes, Pricing, Schedule, and Events. Plus, Upside Aerial’s website includes a chat feature above the fold, giving users an immediate way to get answers if they can’t find them on the website. This is important because 92% of customers feel satisfied when they use live chat — better than any other communication tool. And 44% say that having questions answered by a live person is one of the most important features a website can offer. Key lessons from the Upside Aerial Arts & Fitness website:
10. Armoury Coaching StudioMany of the previous examples focused on remote or online coaching. But many personal trainers focus on local, in-person customers. The Armoury Coaching Studio website is a good example for local trainers to follow because it’s SEO optimized for local searches. Local search is when someone adds a location to their search parameters on Google —“best personal trainers in Houston” as opposed to just “best personal trainers.” This personal trainer website uses target keywords in the headings, meta description, and body text, helping them rank on the first page for the keyword phrase “personal training in Milton Keynes”. Key lessons from the Armoury website:
Time to build your own personal trainer websiteOne thing’s for sure — It’s a good time to be in the health and wellness industry. If you’re about to build your own personal trainer website, here’s what you can take away from the websites we’ve just gone over:

Mario Carpe | Toys https://ift.tt/3DNmLyS Toys is the latest project from Prague-based graphic designer Mario Carpe. The 16 digitally created prints (and a bonus one) look to and reinterpret the concept of the ‘toy’. Mario describes; “I’m a big fan of toys and, although don’t play with them anymore, I truly think for keeping an active and fresh creative mind you should think like a kid or, at least, try to look at the world like one”. Once introduced into this world of toys, Mario discovered two definitions which caught his attention. The first describes a Toy as “an object for a child to play with, typically a model or miniature replica of something” and the second defines it as “a person or thing is dominated or handled physically or morally by another or by something immaterial”. These definitions lit a creative spark within Mario, thus he decided to create a fusion between human beings and toys. Toys places toys into the forefront of our daily society with humans hidden behind them. Mario states; “When we were little ones we wanted to be that doll or soldier, however I wanted to show that everyone somehow is a toy. We are dominated or handled by something but, of course, everything is treated from a funny and acid perspective.” Throughout the project, Mario spent a lot of time remembering and researching his favourite toys. When creating the pieces he either began with a toy that inspired the piece, or worked backwards from a daily life situation where he could place a toy to complete the meaning of the artwork. @mario_carpe Printing via People of Print https://ift.tt/2DhgcW7 November 25, 2021 at 04:25AM El ciberlunes será la próxima semana https://ift.tt/3FK10Rb WASHINGTON, DC — Ya estamos a finales de noviembre, y si es uno de los millones de personas que compran regalos en el ciberlunes, puede contar con el Servicio Postal para que sus paquetes lleguen a destino a tiempo para celebrar las fiestas.

3D Printing News Briefs, November 24, 2021: 3D Printing Steel, Glass, Skin Models, & More https://ift.tt/3xllgpp In today’s 3D Printing News Briefs, we’re starting with a roundtable discussion on AM workforce development. Then we’re moving on to research, first about 3D printing a better steel, and then 3D printing glass at the nanoscale. Finally, CTI Biotech won an award for its 3D bioprinted skin model, and the winners of the purmundus Challenge were announced at Formnext 2021 last week. AM Workforce Development Roundtable with Secretary of Commerce The AM industry has grown up to 30% over the past five years, but it’s having trouble filling the thousands of new positions requiring technical skills. America Makes and 3D printing consulting firm 3Degrees recently led a round table discussion on additive manufacturing workforce development at technology accelerator mHub, welcoming partners who are developing training around the country, in addition to local and national government representatives, including US Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo. During the visit, everyone celebrated the completion of the pilot Advanced Manufacturing Experience (AMx) course in Chicago, an immersive AM apprenticeship program led by 3Degrees and nonprofit West Side Forward to train students between 22-50 years old on the West Side of Chicago. Several of the program participants attended the roundtable and shared their experiences, which included tours of facilities like Renishaw and Impossible Objects, in-person instruction, mentoring relationships with Siemens Energy, EOS, Desktop Metal, Met-l-Flo, Dyndrite, and Forecast3D, and taking a guided tour of RAPID + TCT.
Researchers 3D Printing a Better Steel A team of researchers from Stony Brook University published a paper about their work developing a more corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel material, which is often used in naval applications. The study focused on the connection between corrosion behavior and the material structure in laser 3D printed 316L stainless steel, and the team used multimodal synchrotron X-ray techniques at Brookhaven’s National Synchrotron Light Source II (NSLS-II) to find new connections between print parameters and the material’s defect state; samples were printed at Penn State, and correlative electron microscopy was performed at Brookhaven’s Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN). These research findings could help make a more corrosion resistant stainless steel by engineering its material defects at the nanoscale.
3D Printing Glass at the Nanoscale Glass qualities are often tied to the applications in which the material is used, and 3D printing is capable of fabricating parts with a vast variety of geometries, but because higher processing temperatures are needed to form glass than plastics, it got a late start in the industry. The feature resolution for glass 3D printing is still limited to micrometers, but a pair of researchers, hailing from Penn State and the University of Padova in Italy, recently published a paper on 3D printing glass at the nanoscale, stating that they were able to print “silica glass components with a resolution below 200 nm.” The method they used for their proof of concept was based on two-photon polymerization, or 2PP, and they experimented with a “commercially available polyethylene glycol (PEG)-functionalized colloidal silica with an ~10 nm dimension.”
3D Bioprinted Immune Skin Model Publication Wins Award Last year, cell therapy research startup CTIBiotech unveiled two bioprinted full skin model technologies for skincare applications, and the resulting research publication, developed with BASF’s Care Creations, won the prestigious Henry Maso Award at the International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) 2021 conference. BASF and CTIBiotech have been working together for several years, and the 3D bioprinting methods developed at CTIBiotech will allow scientists to produce copies of predictive full skin human tissue models containing macrophages—which monitor the skin’s microenvironment for signs of tissue infection, injury, or cell stress—from the human immune system, while BASF scientists will use the technology to choose the best ingredients and bio-actives for advanced skin care applications. CTIBiotech’s 3DBioprinting Manager Maxime Lègues, who presented the original work at last year’s IFSCC Congress before it was published, will receive a scholarship to attend the 2022 IFSCC Congress to receive the award in-person.
Formnext’s 2021 purmundus Challenge Last week, the eight gold trophy winners of the annual international purmundus Challenge 3D and 4D printing design award were announced at Formnext 2021. Sophia Lindner from act’ble GmbH, which is working with athletes to develop a new pointe shoe for ballet and contemporary dance, won first prize for the patented New Pointe Shoe Sole concept, which is said to last five times longer and reduce physical pain. Ramon Mañas with Odisei Music SL took second for the 3D printed Travel Sax, which is said to be the world’s smallest, most lightweight electronic saxophone and is already being played by 1,200 customers around the world. Jamie Cook, Henry Neilson, Theo Clarkes, Mark Brown, Jess Lewis, and George Jary from HEXR, the already award-winning 3D printed custom-fitting bicycle helmet, won third place for the helmet, which combines safety and comfort because it’s made to measure. Five special purmundus Challenge awards were also presented at Formnext 2021:
