  • Fablab 2.0 machine building
    Mantis machine

    Source: Mantis MachineThe Mantis 9.1 design is a radical departure from version 8 and
    earlier. Most notably, the part count has been almost halved! The
    current design has 13 parts, all of which can be made with a handsaw and
    a drill press. Also, I've traded away my alignment free
    exactly-constrained design for extra stiffness. Several unsuccessful
    attempts to eradicate the last of the slop in the Z axis on version 8
    lead me back to the world of over-constrained parallel rods. My previous

    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.

  • RepRap Masterclass
    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.

  • Fablab op het VMBO
    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.

  • GloveBox
    GloveBox 
    The VASTAL Virginarium is a six person Glove Box artistically designed by Adam Zaretsky and Mason Juday. The glove box is being made using the WAAG Society¹s FabLab laser cutting and rapid prototyping machinery. It is designed to provide a sterile field for Bioart Laboratories. But it is also designed for public performances, which revolve around cultural interpretive issues of purity, sterility and cleanliness.

Schoolsubjects are projected on an interactive gymmat in imaginative way, utilizing the fantasy of children to make those subjects more playfull and interesting to the child and thus allowing the child to learn in a better way.

  • Snoezel Object
    snoezel2.jpg

    The Snoezel Object stems from an approach to therapy used in Snoezels Kamers.  The idea is that the snoezelen environment is safe and non-threatening. Children and adults with disabilities or other limiting conditions enjoy gentle stimulation of the primary senses. There is no need for intellectual reasoning. Participants experience self-control, autonomous discovery, and exploration-achievements that overcome inhibitions, enhance self-esteem, and reduce tension. This in turn is what we hope to achieve with the Snoezel Object.

    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.

  • USB Bike Charger
