    Wat is een Fablab?
    Een Fablab is een ruimte met diverse computergestuurde machines voor het maken van prototypen en modellen, naar een concept ontwikkeld door Neil Gershenfeld bij het MIT (USA).

    Waag Society en Mediagilde bieden in Fablab Amsterdam verschillende workshop formats aan voor technisch onderwijs. Hiernaast wordt het Fablab ook ingezet als werkplaats voor het maken van prototypen binnen het kader van zowel eigen projecten als die van partners.

  • Fablab op VMBO

    Het Regionaal Techno Centrum Amsterdam (RTCA) was op zoek naar een middel om de interesse van VMBO leerlingen in techniek/ICT onderwijs te vergroten. Na een succesvolle samenwerking in het schooljaar 2007/2008 hebben ze Fablab Amsterdam gevraagd een programma op te zetten met praktische workshops.

  • RepRap 1.0 Darwin

    The RepRap is a do-it-yourself 3D printer, capable of reproducing (most) of it's own parts. The name RepRap is deducted from Replicating Rapid Prototyper, designed by Adrian Bowyer, professor at Bath University, England. Instructions and all necessary data are available completely free of charge to anyone who wants to build a personal 3D printer.

  • HONF Fablab Logo

    Our goal is to build a Fablab in Indonesia in cooperation with a local media&art laboratory (HONF) to empower local users to make products for their local needs. The Fablab will provide cutting-edge tools & a technology workshop allowing local users to create and manufacture, among many other potential products: prostheses and transportation vehicles for physically challenged people furniture …to sell abroad to increase local income

    Project to make public spaces more accessible for wheelchairs.

    For the biggest part of my life I've been using a wheelchair to move around.
    The electric wheelchair is one of the main inventions for people who are physically challenged, to be able to go wherever they want to go. Since the introduction many people who didn't leave their homes up until then found themselves able to take part in the normal things of live. Through the years the most common chair has evolved into a compact machine, capable of driving arround for about 40 kilometres at a speed of 9.5 kmph.

    Next to all the research we try to do in various fields concerning clean energy and the likes, I figured it is also important to do something else... As long as it conrtibutes to the gathered knowledge here.

    This project is not about anything you need, or something that solves worldwide issues. But it will learn you a lot about handeling materials, and machines.

     

  • COLLAGE-BABY.jpg

    Mooimuis in the creation of a toddler adapted device for interaction with computer software.
    The idea is to create an intelligent toy that will react to the input given by the child through movement, touch and sound. The reaction would be transmitted to a software specially designed for this device that would give input back to the child.
    The goal in this dynamic is to create interactions that help develop the important points a child needs to develop in this age, and to adapt these interactions to their very fast pace of growth.

    Prosthetics Program
     
    This project is collaboration between Fablab Amsterdam,
    Fablab India Netaji Subhas, New Delhi,
    arctic MIT Fablab Norway.
     
    The goal is to engineer a low cost prosthetic alignment laser (P.A.L) system that meets (almost) the specifications of ottobocks L.A.S.A.R system.
    A cheap DIY kit made in a Fablab would allow prosthetic makers in developing countries
    to have a professional tool to improve the alignment of limb prosthetics on their patients.
     
    The collaboration consists of:
