Tech Media Invest Top 100
In association with The Guardian and sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Kemp Little,
the list was revealed in the Paper on 7th September 2009 by Europe-Unlimited,
Europe’s leading event organisers for investors and technology companies.
The List aims to showcase young entrepreneurial companies that are developing innovative new ways
to serve business and consumers, and have the potential to radically change the shape of the technology and media industry
Vicky Frost, one of The Guardian’s Commissioning Editors, says that here ‘we celebrate their
achievements and showcase the UK’s most exciting emerging companies’.
Anarkik3d will be attending the Tech Media Invest Event 2009 being held in London on October
1st where we have the chance to showcase our business before potential investors and corporate partners.

Farah Bandookwala will be working with Anarkik3D over the summer and her blog with pics of her work in progress can be seen here
She has opted for a Placement with us as part of her course as an MA Student studying at Edinburgh College of Art.
Through a combination of process including rapid prototyping, she is creating jewellery made up of modular units that
allow the wearer to manipulate and transform the adornment as their sense of self changes.
She will explore the use of our haptic application, Cloud9, as a tool,
on its own and to make CAD models more dynamic and organic, towards creating forms for rapid manufacture.
By having the means to work more intuitively at this concept generation stage she can experiment more deeply and widely with complexity of form, and function to produce 3D prototypes, both digital and tangible to explore and test her premise - the possibility that identity is a fluid entity,
and her aim to allow the wearer to convey this changing sense of self over time..
"Through my work I argue the need for contemporary jewellery to develop and form a new, perhaps much more complex,
flexible way of expressing changeable notions of self. Rather than dictating meaning through form or composition,
I would like the work to be open to the wearers' own expression of self over time."

The main use of STL is for 3D printing objects and this feature has now been tested: the
first Cloud9 created object has been successfully 3D printed by 2 different companies.
These 2 illustrations show the main test piece that was the first model created on our
Cloud9 haptic application to be 3D printed. It is designed to test primitives and extrusions
for non-manifold areas in the mesh. It is also being used to test colour 3D printing to make
sure we get everything right on our side.
Next feature: importing STL and 3ds. 3ds now just needs to be tested thoroughly for you.
