MyPaint is a fast and easy open-source graphics application for digital painters. It lets you focus on the art instead of the program. You work on your canvas with minimum distractions, bringing up the interface only when you need it.

  • Available for Windows and GNU/Linux
  • Designed for pressure sensitive graphics tablets
  • Simple and minimalistic user interface
  • Extensive brush creation and configuration options
  • Unlimited canvas (you never have to resize)
  • Basic layer support

mypaint brush

MyPaint comes with a large brush collection including charcoal and ink to emulate real media, but the highly configurable brush engine allows you to experiment with your own brushes and with not-quite-natural painting. Before beginning it is a good idea to read the quick-starttutorial to see how the program is meant to be used. You can also visit the MyPaint Wiki.

Shapeoko 2 open source CNC milling machine

Shapeoko
Shapeoko

Shapeoko 2 is a simple, low cost, open source CNC milling machine kit that can be built over a weekend. Assembly is required before you can use it.

This is version 2 of the fastest selling CNC machine in the history of the world. The machine has been under development for the last five years. Edward Ford has been designing, redesigning, and building what he hoped would be a CNC machine that anyone can build. This machine is by far his best one yet.

The CAD files for the Shapeoko 2 are posted on GitHub. Open Source design by Edward Ford

RepRap – OPen Source 3d printer

RepRap takes the form of a free desktop 3D printer capable of printing plastic objects. Since many parts of RepRap are made from plastic and RepRap prints those parts, RepRap self-replicates by making a kit of itself – a kit that anyone can assemble given time and materials. It also means that – if you’ve got a RepRap – you can print lots of useful stuff, and you can print another RepRap for a friend…

RepRap is about making self-replicating machines, and making them freely available for the benefit of everyone. We are using 3D printing to do this, but if you have other technologies that can copy themselves and that can be made freely available to all, then this is the place for you too.

Reprap.org is a community project, which means you are welcome to edit most pages on this site, or better yet, create new pages of your own. Our community portaland New Development pages have more information on how to get involved. Use the links below and on the left to explore the site contents. You’ll find some contenttranslated into other languages.

RepRap was the first of the low-cost 3D printers, and the RepRap Project started the open-source 3D printer revolution. It has become the most widely-used 3D printer among the global members of the Maker Community.

OPen ARChaeology

OPen ARChaeology
OPen ARChaeology

The project OpArc (OPen Archaeology) was born in the summer of 2003. Its main objective is to apply the “philosophy” of FOSS (Free Open Source Software) to the archeology. In other words, the basic idea is to share software (tools), know-how (knowledge), ideas (research) and data for better and faster development of the discipline of archeology. From the main project are born as a result many other subprojects.

Open Source Photogrammetry

Tanque sharpen arc-team
Tanque sharpen arc-team

The modern techniques of Structure from Motion (SfM) and Image-Based Modelling (IBM) open new prospective in the field of archaeological documentation, ensuring to everybody a simple and accurate way to record three-dimensional data. Python Photogrammetry Toolbox GUI is a user-frendly grafical interface for the Python Photogrammetry Toolbox suite (website), which is develope by Pierre Moulon. It helps to faster run Bundler, CMVS and PMVS2 through three python script: RunBundler, RunCMVS and RunPMVS.

Arduinome

arduinome by nooswanedotcom

64 button midi controller in a custom poplar enclosure, built to provide a physical interface to computer software. The design is based on Arduinome, an open-source Monome alternative. Each button has an led which can be coded to light on button press and/or display information. Essentially a blank slate to build on. (source: nooswane.com)

Developed in 2005 by CalArts Alum Brian Crabtree, the original Monome has become of the most widely used, open-source computer music controllers of all time. In 2008, Jordan and Owen set out to create a software-compatible clone of the Monome using the Arduino Microcontroller. A cheaper alternative to the typically expensive Monome, there are over 1000 Arduinomes in the wild and counting. More recently in 2011, Owen began releasing schematics and code related to an updated Arduinome called the Chronome, integrating RGB LEDs and pressure sensitivity.(source: MTIID)

CUBIT interactive surface for multitouch interactions

cubit interactive surface
cubit interactive surface

CUBIT is an interactive surface for multitouch interactions. It was designed with the intention to redefine visual computing and depart from the mouse pointer paradigm. Fingers are seen as points of location, areas of contact, and vectors. Based on these sensory inputs the interface tries to generate graphical widgets which behave along preconceived human notions of physical objects.
