The project started out as an ambitious student-powered endeavor to design and fabricate at a 1:1 scale the flagship pavilion for the ZA11 Speaking Architecture event in Cluj, Romania. While at the same time integrating into its historically-charged context, the design boasts a strong representational power which was much needed in order to fulfill its main goal: attracting passers-by to the event. The…

In Enschede NL a new FabLab Enschede is opened in april 2011. It's located at Saxion Hogeschool and part of the center for design and technology.

A lasercutter (Trotec speedy 300, 60W) and a 3D printer (Dimension 1200, ABS extrusion printing ) are now available at very generous prices. A CNC metal lathe and metal router will will available soon.

A workshop will soon start to build a low budget 3D printer (ultimaker) which is controlled by Arduino. Objective is to get hands on…

This tutorial will show you how to use v-carving techniques with a ballnose or large cove bit.  Some programs have a texture function that uses the shape of the bit to produce randomized toolpaths or textures automatically.  It requires alot of trial and error.  The way I outline here allows you to control exactly how you want your pattern to look, but still keeps machining time to a
