    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.

  • doorstep climber

    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.

  • 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.

  • Bow Making

    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.

  • Pop Up
    Bauhaus Bauspiel / pop-up

    Pop UP is een levensgrote kijkdoos waarin kinderen hun eigen voorstelling met intelligente objecten maken. Verschillende zintuigen worden aangesproken, zodat een intuïtieve, spontane interactie ontstaat. De peuter kan actief aan de slag, dingen in beweging zetten maar ook gewoon luisteren en kijken. In alle vrijheid en op eigen tempo kunnen de jonge kinderen de interactieve theaterinstallatie Pop UP verkennen. Hierbij wisselen ze verschillende 'rollen'; ze zijn regisseur, acteur en toeschouwer tegelijkertijd.

  • Fabacademy - How to Make (almost) Anything
    artes_white.png

    This course provides a hands-on introduction to the resources for designing and fabricating smart systems, including CAD/CAM/CAE; NC machining, 3-D printing, injection molding, laser cutting; PCB layout and fabrication; sensors and actuators; analog instrumentation; embedded digital processing; wired and wireless communications. This course also puts emphasis on learning how to use the tools as well as understand how they work.

  • Fablab Yogyakarta Indonesia
    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

    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:
