ProtoSpace

Cutting large pieces at ProtoSpace in Utrecht. Since there was a large format (approx. 250cm x 120cm) CNC table router available we were able to cut the larger pieces out of wood (OSB: oriented strand board), which simplified the assembly and lowered the cost.

In addition to cutting out the shapes, we also milled partial-depth grooves to position the acrylic pieces and to hold them in place.

For a project at the V2_lab we had to develop a transparent touchpad in textile. For this we needed to create circuit boards that are thin, small, easy to mount on a textile substrate and more or less flexible. To create such a circuit board we started to experiment with cutting copper foil on the CAMM-1 at Protospace fablab.

This project's goal was to test if it is possible to print a silhouette lamp with the 3d printer. A silhouette lamp's main characteristic is that light shines through a decorative pattern of darkened regions. Usually this is achieved by a opaque print on a translucent material.

For my tuned classic motorbike I needed a custom made intake manifold. I started off measuring the length and angle needed for the part, then created it in a 3D application
