Atomic Machines has developed the Matter Compiler, an AI-native fabrication system that automatically designs, builds, and measures micro-machines while learning from each iteration. The system aims to enable rapid prototyping of novel micro-devices that traditional fabs cannot produce, moving from digital design to working product in hours rather than years.
A maker designed and built a wearable LED neon t-shirt in just a few days for a company event, using flexible LED filaments sewn onto black fabric with a stiff backing, powered by an ESP32 and various voltage converters. The shirt features a llama design on the back and text borders on the sides, with the filaments controlled through custom electronics housed in a 3D-printed enclosure.
