I've been reading their website for a bit now and I still can't figure out exactly what the difference between VCarve and Aspire is.

The 7 vols by Artobolevsky are really interesting, too bad I can only find one volume online in English. You can download them at Scribd with a free trial, or find them here instead:

I've found several recomendations for "Mechanisms in Modern Engineering Design," by Artobolevsky. Originally in Russion, but English translations (circa mid 70s) are available, and pretty expensive used. There's a couple of PDFs of the work on Scribd, I may check it out soon.

It's funny you posted that, as I just found that myself via some Wikipedia source citations.

Good stuff.

I've been slowly collecting some mechanical reference books for my library, primarily for some creative inspiration, and I was wondering if anyone had any other titles they'd consider useful. I'm particularly interested in any collections of various linkages and/or gear sets.

Interesting. There's a VERY long thread regarding the SO3 on their forum and I haven't read it.

All that said, I'd have a hard time believing that it'll never be expandable. You don't make custom extrusion like that just to stay at 16" or whatever their build size is. Time will tell.

That's seriously cool! That would make an interesting Gearotic project; maybe Art should come up with a way to attach a virtual pen and paper to the simulator? :)

Well, we'd need some cams and lever and linkages in the software, right Art? ;)

I've got some random ideas that I'd like to play ...
