Colour-based selection with a collaborative robot
The aim of the project was to create a robotic program whereby the UR3 robot arm can distinguish between mixed black and green capped test-tube based on their colour and then sort them using a 2D camera system. The grippers needed for this task were made using 3D printing.
Designing a mascot
The Forsports mascot, developed using CGI technology by am-LAB, is hoped that its use in advertising campaigns and on the official website will lead to great success. The idea behind the mascot is to promote strong brand bonding and to make customers and fans more connected to the brand.
Visualisation of different transportation solutions using CGI technology
The CGI video is willing to represent the various modality options in Hungary, especially in West Hungary. We have planned to introduce new technologies and new ways to represent how multinational companies could organize their logistics in a greener way. Instead of using trucks, we were designing a modern, up-to-date train line, where all the companies -located in the new industrial parks- could use this option, instead of the trucks. Colleagues at am-LAB created a CGI animated design with such software as CINEMA4D.
KőszegTour - Augmented reality based tourism application
The main aim of the application is to present how a cultural heritage site can be rethought in a more attractive way. The application demonstrates the historical buildings in Kőszeg – Szemző House, Europa House, Sgrafitto House, Zwinger, Festetics-Chernel Palace – in a creative and interactive format, integrating also augmented reality elements. Buildings renovated under the Kraft programme have been equipped with QR codes, which can be easily scanned with a phone to access related augmented reality elements and other interesting features.
Realistic sweating simulation - development of a modular prototype
This pilot project aimed to develop a modular, realistic prototype that could be useful in simulating human sweating. Proof of concept focused on the design and development of a complex human body part, e.g. a sweat glands module for the armpit. Further development consists of the design of a complex virtual anatomical model and the fabrication of a sweat gland module that replicates the region of the sweat glands of the armpit, with the possibility of integrating different sensors (e.g. humidity and temperature sensors).
Digital Twin and Mixed Reality Solution
The digital twin developed by am-LAB isable to simulate the operation of the machine (start-up process, use, configuration of the machine), control the real machine in the Mixed reality environment, change the settings of the machine, which are immediately implemented on the real machine.
Custom product design with 3D technologies
The aim of the project was to develop a fixed adapter for an aerosol bottle and an ergonomic mask that fits onto it. The product developed consists of several components (adapter, mask and silicone padding for comfort). The first step was the design of the functional adapter, where the material used and its mechanical properties (e.g., flexibility) were crucial. This was followed by the design of the mask and the attached silicone part, which required special attention during functional testing due to the different material properties resulting from the use of various materials.
Prototype production of silicone caps for aluminum bottles
It is extremely difficult to ensure hygiene when drinking soft drinks in aluminum cans, since the drinking surface can come into direct contact with anything during transport and storage, and there is no possibility to reseal the product after opening. CleanCap is an innovative hygiene device that makes drinking from aluminum cans safer for health reasons, as well as making them resealable.
Digitalization of a large, unique plastic part
At the customer's request, a large but unique aircraft engine casing with damages and deformations had to be scanned. The smooth, shiny surface and the shiny coating posed a challenge for the scanning. We later analyzed the digitized part in terms of dimensional accuracy, and a 3D CAD model of the it was created using reverse engineering, which enabled the creation of a production tool.
Mascot design and visualisation in augmented reality with 3D technologies
At the client's request, we created a mascot character for career orientation purposes. The character incorporates the client's main product, an axle, into its design. In the career orientation package, we received several tasks; one of them was to create a CGI animated film featuring the mascot character, Tudor, as the main protagonist. Another component of the package was the AR display, where everyone could use their own phone and a marker to bring up the models we had created.
Redesign of a plastic part on an agricultural contractor's high-performance corn planter
In response to the serial breakage of the unique plastic seed tubes of the seeder used in practice, they were scanned and then re-modelled using the reverse engineering method. The created 3D CAD model has been strengthened in addition to keeping the functionality. 3D printed models were also made with SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) technology, and then their successful practical application in the field took place.
HelloSzombathely - Augmented reality based tour guide application
The AR-based mobile application shows users the more than two thousand years of history of the former Savaria (now known as Szombathely), with the help of modern technology. Guided by the app, users can visit and learn interesting information about the city's 9 famous places. For each attraction, visual and video materials help orientation and interactive learning. In addition, when the user visits a particular attraction, also have access to the augmented reality-based information.
Digitalization of the parts of the mill filling unit
The metal parts of mill production equipment were digitized and then remodelled, and also the kinematics of the complex movement was mapped. The device that lost its functionality was also repaired and maintained. The 3D CAD models created with the reverse engineering process were used to remanufacture the parts of the tool that were previously utilised to fill the flour bags. According to the client's plans, the unique production line will function in the future as a museum and serve exhibitional purposes for a wide audience.
3D technologies for corporate image
We were asked by a client for a multi-element image creation process, the first step of which was a mascot design. From several character designs, a squirrel figure was finally chosen. In the second step, we created a CGI animated short film featuring their products as requested by the client. The innovative aspect of the project was the purchase of a sensor suit based on "Motion Capture" technology, which facilitated the capture of the mascot's lifelike movements. The next phase of development was to display the squirrel in AR (augmented reality) space. By scanning the corresponding marker, anyone can view the squirrel in motion using their smartphone.
Building and Testing a 3D-Printed Data Collector
At the client's request, we created a data collector and data processing system for their AMS (Air Management System). Our job was to design and 3D print a case for the device, connect the required hardware parts and develop a software which is capable of collecting and visualizing data. The first prototype was shipped to the customer, and they are testing this device with their AMS device in industrial environment.
Realistic product visualisation
Our client manufactures products that are difficult to transport to exhibitions and shows due to the size and weight of the products. We developed an application for them to be able to present their products at exhibitions in a virtual but realistic way, and to showcase the details, features and application areas of the exhibited products using a tablet. The application now also includes a gallery that allows you to view products in use.
Designing smart medicine dispenser and additional functions
We provided a comprehensive solution for the development and implementation of an automated medicine dispenser prototype, which was created using 3D printing technology. Concurrently, we developed a prototype application that allows for precise programming and control of the device. This holistic approach ensures efficient and user-friendly medicine dispensing, contributing to innovation in medical technology.
