A few days ago, in the Harbin Institute of Materials, the two boy, the second male boy, Cui Yifeng, the comb was not seen. So, the classmates of the bedroom immediately searched the "comb model" digital document, took advantage of the lunch break, with their team Chen Yun's handheld 3D printers played two comb, after the lunch break.
Now, with the Internet, open source communities, 3D printers and development board kits, China's young generation, "custom manufacturing", "custom manufacturing" has been lightly familiar. They began to become a new generation in millions of games, and collective potential will be sprayed in the next 10 years and have an important impact on innovation models and industrial ecology.

Little Chuangke
Cui Yifeng's generation of college students were born in 1995, compared to China "70" and "80", they did a variety of DIY attempts from small and more economical and educational conditions. In Cui Yifeng Primary School, the Japanese car cartoon "four-drive brothers" were broadcast in China, so he and the little friends like the most, the most extravagant game, is assembling four-wheel drive. Later, the four-wheel drive was hit, and Cui Yifeng dismissed the motor, and did a electric fan under the mother's point.
When junior high school, Taobao is not popular. Cui Yifeng often went to the car repair shop to reflect his own bicycle. His bicycle has installed the car xenon headlights, two sets of sounds and a bunch of flashes, can be remote, at the time "very drawn". And one of his students, has a strong interest in chemistry, often ran to the field to purchase local uncommon chemical reagents, and do various chemical experiments.
However, in the middle school era of Cui Yifeng, student computer education in most urban towns in China is still in the primary stage. Although a large number of primary and secondary schools have purchased a new computer equipment, the contents of the microcomputer class are simple and boring, unlike the "00", "in the second half of the primary school may be systematically exposed to robot programming this kind of cool technology Cui Yezhen truly learning embedded programming after entering the university.
Smart bedroom
Harbin Institute of Technology, which is studying, is a famous industrial and technical institution of 95 years. For new students, schools have a "big one year project" every year - will give each student group about 500 yuan funds, let them do what they like. Usually, electrical and communication students will use single-chip microcomputer to do waterlights and smart cars; classmates of the mechanical system will do mechanical snakes and robots ... Most of these projects are completed by self-study. Cui Yifeng and the same class Wang Changlei, Tang Hao Yan, Chenang students choose to do "smart bedroom".

Now, the concept of smart home has been well known for many people, but the landing project is still very fresh. But Cui Yifeng has lived a smart life. In the smart bedroom, they first did it to the card access control system. The student card has become a smart key, so that the classroom, the dormitory uses a "key" to freely shuttle, solve the problem of throwing three falls.
In this 10 square meters of bedroom, there are 3 top and two tables. For convenience, the remote keyboard is installed on each bed, everyone can control everything in the bedroom in their own space. Cui Yifeng, who lives in the shop, wake up in the morning and reached one, the water dispenser at the door was opened by the remote control, waiting for the water, he went down the bed to burst into coffee. The water dispenser will also be turned off and will not dry one morning.
There is a large lamp in the bedroom, and each classmate is also a LED dimming light controlled by wireless technology Zigbee. The lamp is installed on the lamp with filter and photosensitive thermal resistance self-made color temperature sensor - it can read indoors Color temperature, automatically adjust the color temperature of the light, make light compensation, let the bed light is more natural and healthy.
The team's classmates have also developed "remote control learning" to add new devices. If you have air conditioning, TV ... they can be controlled on the same terminal.
This "smart bedroom" project praised the "2014 TI Cup National University Biological Network Design Competition" unique special award. However, Cui Yifeng said that the new student is more powerful. Because the semiconductor company has sponsored a group of development boards, students have better conditions to understand the microcontroller and digital signal processors, get started faster. Among them, a group only used a winter holiday, and the transformation and control of the smart bedroom was realized on the mobile phone.

From ideas to productivity
Now, Cui Yifeng and the team have begun to try new projects such as four-rotoring aircraft. How do these young Causa have achieved many product creative, design and custom manufacturing?

The network and open source communities are the entrances of the game customers and exports. Every day, Captain will log in to the network and community, discover the new application of their interested, excavate product information, and assess the difficulty of project. At the same time, they share the design results in the open source community, carry out cooperation, which has become a culture.
E-commerce has become an essential tool for Chuangke. Most of the Chuangcai loves the service model of vertical e-commerce sellers, typically, for example, Taobao. One day in the morning and evening, the support of the enterprises will "e-commerce". Taking semiconductor products as an example, many of the Chinese and finished suite materials of many products are still lacking. For the vast candidates of the background, enterprises provide development boards, open source code, Caverkeners may still have no way. Relatively speaking, a typical e-commerce seller, such as Taobao sellers will provide entry-level documentation, common functional semiper, training video, especially for the various peripheral boards for the development board, this makes the creation of the game to change Can complete a functional design.
Cui Yifeng and their team observed the "e-commerce" trend supported by the company. Like Texas Instruments, the company's planning partners such as De Tsevization, the love research electron has begun to introduce the external board, as long as the external plate is plugged into the core board, it is almost the same as the Taobao seller, and the product is more sophisticated, price Not expensive, it is very competitive.
3D printer makes a creative man wants something, you can do. Now 3D printing materials can be used from plastics, metals, biological materials to food, and can print the supporting circuit directly in the item. Initially, most Chuangke passed Taobao sellers to achieve 3D printing, the price is about 1 yuan per graron. Nowadays, more and more guests have their own 3D printing equipment, like Cui Yifeng, because of the frequent use of frequently, the sources are available in the online source software, do two 3D printers, print costs less than 1 cents per gram.
Magical 3D printing equipment, let the creative inserted a wings. Now, Cui Yingzhen even imagined, print four rotorne aircraft, providing monitoring, express delivery in smart cities. Even if these small aircraft are broken, they can also quickly print components for repair, and the cost of upgrading is also extremely low. In the future, with custom manufacturing, other manufacturing tools, such as CNC machine tools, laser cutting machines may appear on the Correspondent desktop.
In addition to the invention, small innovations are reconsoning the Technology Association. In Chinese universities, the Science and Technology Association is dominated by competition. For a few years, the cycle is one thing, and the fund is from the competition sponsors. But the new generation of small games hopes to have more open, happier platforms, support them to do what they are more interested. Cui Yifeng and other more than 10 students are creating the "UAC Association" Science and Technology Association, and the daily operation fund will come from the Taobao shop. There, hardware and software is open source, people can download and use, or purchase the finished suite. This new community is causing attention from business companies.
In addition, social media, such as the communication and support of WeChat groups are also become a habit ...
Observe today's campus, the new generation of Chuangke is brewing a "Caicale Sport". Some people predicted that this "Cantonese Sport" will change the world more quickly than the personal computer revolution originated from the US garage decades ago. Understanding the innovation model and culture of a new generation, technology companies will be able to seize the opportunity, with Cavern, lead the technology industry to the new direction, and in the future "National Creation" Times.
