A method includes storing a plurality of content items and storing one or more associations. Each of the associations includes an association between exactly two of the content items. The method may also include causing a graphical user interface (GUI) to be presented on an electronic device. The GUI may include a first representation of a first content item, a list of representations comprising a second representation of a second content item and a third representation of a third content item, a first visual indicator indicating a first association between the first content item and the second content item, and a second visual indicator indicating a second association between the first content item and the third content item. The method may also include receiving a user input comprising an instruction to create an additional association between the first content item and the second content item.

System for connecting topically-related nodes

A method includes receiving a plurality of design files at a computer-based system, wherein each of the design files is indicative of a respective structural design, a structural value associated with the respective structural design, and a source identifier associated with a designer of the respective structural design; causing a graphical representation of at least a portion of the structural designs to be displayed to a user; receiving a user selection of a first structural design of the displayed structural designs; generating an additive manufacturing file indicative of the first structural design in a predefined format, wherein the predefined format enables the processing of the additive manufacturing file into a physical structure through an additive manufacturing process; transmitting the selected first structural design in the predefined format; and determining, by the computer based system, a royalty value associated with the selected first structural design based at least on the structural value, the source identifier, and one or more additional parameters.

Systems and methods for processing orders for structural designs

A method for forming three-dimensional (3D) printed structures is disclosed. The method may include 3D printing a first structural member including an opening to a cavity inside the first structural member; and 3D printing a second structural member including a protrusion disposed within the opening and the cavity of the first structural member.

System and method of connecting two 3D printed structures

A construction system is provided. The construction system includes at least one machine. The construction system also includes a gantry system having a beam member. The construction system further includes a reference member provided proximal to a predetermined path of the at least one machine. The construction system includes a sensing unit associated with the at least one machine. The sensing unit is configured to determine distance of a portion of the at least one machine from the reference member. The construction system also includes a control unit in communication with the at least one machine and the sensing unit. The control unit is configured to receive inputs indicative of distance of the portion of the at least one machine from the reference member. The control unit is also configured to move the at least one machine to move the gantry system along the reference member for a predetermined distance.

Construction system

A remote controlled cart includes a body, an electric battery coupled to the body and a pair of track assemblies coupled to the body. The remote controlled cart includes an electric motor operatively coupled to the battery. The electric motor is configured to supply propulsion power to the pair of track assemblies. The remote controlled cart includes a body cover coupled to a top surface of the body. A top surface of the body cover includes at least one pair of rails. The pair of rails removably couples a task module with the body cover.

Remote controlled cart

A method includes receiving a plurality of design files at a computer-based system, wherein each of the design files is indicative of a respective structural design and a structural value associated with the respective structural design, causing a three-dimensional representation of at least a portion of the structural designs to be displayed to a user, causing a cost value to be displayed to the user for each of the displayed structural designs, receiving a user selection of a first structural design of the displayed structural designs, generating an additive manufacturing file indicative of the first structural design in a predefined format, wherein the predefined format enables the processing of the additive manufacturing file into a physical structure through an additive manufacturing process, and transmitting the selected first structural design in the predefined format.

Network portal for 3D printable structures

Machines and system for 3D printing are disclosed. One machine includes a machine frame having a plurality of ground engaging elements to facilitate movement of the machine frame, a telescoping boom pivotably coupled to the machine frame and configured to pivot along at least a horizontal plane, a material line coupled to the boom and configured to convey a material therethrough, a printhead coupled to the boom and in fluid communication with the material line to receive the material and to dispense the material, and a controller configured to receive 3D printing information and to convert the 3D printing information into positional coordinates of the printhead, wherein the controller is to cause movement of the boom to position the printhead based at least on the position coordinates.

Structural 3D printing machine

A wall may be formed by a method comprising providing an extrusion platform having a plurality of perforations extending through a surface of the extrusion platform, and extruding a cementitious composite through the perforations of the extrusion platform to grow a plurality of cementitious composite rods each extending from a respective one of the perforations. The method may further comprise allowing the cementitious composite rods to cure to provide the wall.

Extruded walls and method of forming extruded walls

An exhaust component for use with a combustion engine is disclosed. The exhaust component may have a housing at least partially defining an inlet and an outlet, and a treatment device supported by the housing in communication with exhaust passing from the inlet to the outlet. The exhaust component may also have a life indicator permanently associated with at least one of the housing and the treatment device.

Exhaust component having permanently associated life indicator

An exhaust system is disclosed. The exhaust system may have an emissions control system including a mount and at least one exhaust treatment device secured to the mount. The exhaust system may also have a mounting assembly including a platform and a base frame. The emissions control system may be secured to the platform. The mounting assembly may be configured to position the emissions control system substantially adjacent to a power source. The platform may be movable relative to the base frame between a first position and a second position.
