Introduction to 3D Modeling and Printing

Introduction to 3D Modeling and Printing

Sat, Jun 13, 5:00 PM
From Hack Manhattan
4.7

Introduction to 3D Modeling and Printing is back! The course will be split into two portions. The first two hours will focus on the user interfaces for three modeling programs: Tinkercad, OpenSCAD, and Blender. In each program, we'll learn how to create and modify 3D objects. We'll cover how to export geometry (STL) files from each platform and load them into the slicing software, Cura, to generate the instructions (gcode) file for the 3D printer. Finally, we'll talk about how to load that file up into the 3D printer for printing. The second part of the course will be an open workshop where everyone can try modeling something on their own. The instructor will be available to answer questions and assist. Requirements (Please bring a OSX or PC laptop with the following software installed and a mouse with a scroll wheel): tinkercad.com (create a free account to use) openSCAD: http://www.openscad.org/ Blender: https://www.blender.org/download/ Cura: https://ultimaker.com/en/products/cura-software

In-Person Open House at Fat Cat Fab Lab! Open House and Project Night: * Open House is casual and unstructured, come hang! * Get a tour of the space: Laser room, woodshop, metal shop, sewing area, 3D printing area, electronics lab, and more! * If you're looking for help with a project, stop by and meet members who may be able to help you with that cool new project you're totally stuck on! * If you're a non-member, this day is for you. You're welcome to use our space and hand tools to work on your projects! (Note: 3D printers available if your print completes during the meetup. Sorry, laser and CNC router reserved for members or those who've taken a class.) * If you're interested in joining as a Fat Cat Fab Lab member, in person participation at one of our Open House events is the first step towards becoming a member! See you there!

OpenFold and the Future of Open Foundation Models for Biomolecular Modeling

OpenFold and the Future of Open Foundation Models for Biomolecular Modeling

Thu, Jun 11, 10:00 PM
From New York Area Group for Informatics and Modeling (NYAGIM)
4.9

Recent advances in foundation models have begun to reshape what is possible in structural biology and molecular design. In this joint presentation, Woody Sherman and Mohammed AlQuraishi will discuss the scientific vision, organizational model, and technical foundations behind the OpenFold Consortium and OpenFold3. Woody Sherman will introduce the OpenFold Consortium, an open-science effort created to accelerate the development of transparent, extensible, and high-impact AI models for biomolecular research. He will discuss the motivation for building an open ecosystem around next-generation structure and interaction prediction, the importance of community, infrastructure, and funding, and the role of open models in enabling broader innovation across academia, biotech, and pharma. Mohammed AlQuraishi will then present the OpenFold3 foundation model, including its architecture, training strategy, and capabilities for modeling proteins and their interactions with biologically relevant partners. He will discuss how foundation models are evolving beyond static structure prediction toward richer representations of molecular recognition and biological function, as well as the opportunities and remaining challenges in building open, generalizable models for biomolecular systems. Together, they will provide both a strategic and technical perspective on the emerging landscape of open foundation models for biology, and on how these models may help define the next era of AI for drug discovery. 👉 **Join NYAGIM for our 2026 Q2 event** to connect with the local computational chemistry and informatics community.

Columbia DSL Summer of Prototyping Immersive Experiences

Columbia DSL Summer of Prototyping Immersive Experiences

Mon, Jun 8, 11:00 PM
From Columbia Digital Storytelling Lab
4.7

Join Columbia DSL for a summer of making, testing, and imagining together. This meetup opens the door to the Dead Internet Museum, a growing collective project that will become a 10,000-square-foot installation at MAD Arts this fall. We’re inviting artists, students, designers, technologists, storytellers, and curious people of all kinds to step into the process early. Come meet new collaborators, try things before they are finished, share ideas, build small experiments, and help shape the world of the project as it comes to life. No special background is needed. Just bring your curiosity, your point of view, and a willingness to make something strange with others.

Friday Night Drink and Draw in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Friday Night Drink and Draw in Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Fri, Jun 5, 11:00 PM
From Greenpoint Figure Drawing - Weekly Drink and Draw
4.8

In each 3-hr session, we will draw from a live model, beginning with quick poses to warm up, and then gradually extend the pose length to a final 1 hour pose to finish the evening. First timers welcome. All levels of experience and skill are invited. This is an uninstructed event is for anyone who enjoys or is curious about drawing from a nude figure model. Do your own thing. The environment is laid back, yet professional, and we want everyone to enjoy themselves. No photography allowed. Bring your own beverages. Great tunes will be played, great models will be hired, and we'll make some fantastic artwork. These sessions are moderated by David Bell and Joe Scarpulla, who run Big Object animation studio. David and Joe are stop-motion animators and visual artists, and David is an instructor at Parsons and SVA. RATES 3-hr session: $20 cash / $25 venmo Please RSVP. We operate on a first come-first serve basis. WHAT TO BRING: Your drawing/painting materials (no oils), $20, BYOB. Directions: We are a few blocks from the Greenpoint station on the G and from the Greenpoint stop on the East River Ferry. Note: When you get to the building, sometimes the elevator access is limited in the evenings to tenants with scan cards. If they restrict elevator access, there will be signs indicating who to call to get upstairs. We are on the 3rd floor. FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/greenpoint_figure_drawing STUDIO ETIQUETTE -Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to get a seat before the model begins. The poses begin promptly at 7:00. If you arrive late, please quietly find a place, and pay your admission during a 5 minute break. -Switch cell phones to silent until the break. -Please respect the model and the other artists present and refrain from talking while the model is posing. If you need a pose adjustment during the long pose, tell the monitor in a way that does not disrupt the quietness of the room. -No photography of the model. -Please clean up after yourself. INTERESTED IN MODELING? Great! We really value our models and hold them in the highest regard. Prospective model info will be kept on file, but do not post your info to the Meetup site.
