When photogrammetry first started at Autodesk, it was known as Image Modeler. The technology was improved and appeared on Autodesk Labs as Project Photofly. Honed by customer feedback, it then graduated to become 123D Catch. It got its new name because you are essentially catching the world around you in pixels and using that to construct a 3D model. There are actually a whole collection of tools in the consumer-friendly family.
I mention this list because I want to focus on 123D Make. 123D Make is our free app that lets you turn your 3D models into amazing do-it-yourself projects. Many people have shown what they have done on the Instructables web site.
The Autodesk Gallery at One Market in San Francisco celebrates design — the process of taking a great idea and turning it into a reality. With more than 20 different exhibits regularly on display that showcase the innovative work of Autodesk customers, the gallery illustrates the role technology plays in great design and engineering. One of the exhibits in the gallery (pictured above) features a collection of objects created with 123D Make. Above the 123D Make table, sits a piece, "Year of the Dragon," that is quite stunning.

Artist Jason Young started by hand drawing his artwork. He then scanned and traced it in AutoCAD. "Year of the Dragon" was crafted from 12 sheets of wood laser cut into 23 separate pieces that carefully enfold a circular sheet of stained glass. The handmade stained glass is illuminated by LED lights behind it. Nice!

Woodworking is alive in the lab.
