A Tokyo materials lab that tests the deformation of polymer lattices and metal mesh, advises on material selection, and supports small-batch prototyping.

Why it surfaced

MeshLab 31 publishes its raw test data under CC BY 4.0, including datasets, calibration records, and Grasshopper design files. Its founder also sets unusually clear limits: test specimens can be no larger than 150mm square, and requests with no defensible answer are declined.

The Two-Tonne Temperature Problem

August 15’s newborn domains include a live-aboard hydrogen airship with a two-tonne lift problem, a Japanese toolbox that explains its assumptions, an advisory-by-advisory Hawaiʻi hurricane archive, and a wedding-gift game about ungrateful poultry.
