  • Physicial Virtuality - "What's the weight of an avatar?"
    physical viruality

    To be presented during MuseumN8 @ science centre NEMO Amsterdam -  1 nov 2008

    DESCRIPTION

  • doorstep climber
    track12.jpg

    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.

  • 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.

     

  • Scottie

    Non-verbal, implicit forms of communication are essential in keeping intimate relationships.

    The project named Scottie researches the possibilities of using information and communication technology to create virtual immediacy between long-stay absentees and their primary social contact group.

  • Open Source 3D Scanning System
    david_3d_laser_scanner2.jpg

    An investigation into open source 3d scanning systems.
    The goal is to develop a mobil 3d scanning system to be able to scan limbs in the field, in order to improve the quality of an under knee prosthetic.

    Here is a stomp socket made with thermoplast. This is the most important part of the proshtetic, because halv the bodyweight has to be distributed along the lateral side of the stomp.

  • 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.

  • Prosthetic Alignment Laser

    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:

  • USB Bike Charger
    bike charger

    The target is creating a modular powersupply that can be attached to bicycles. The power supply generaties power while you are biking which consequentely is stored or used immediately to charge your cellphone, PDA, MP3-player or a similar device.

  • Plastic Bender Machine

    Plastic Bender project:
    by Tomas Diez & Alex Schaub
    A collaboration between fablab BCN and Amsterdam

    Abstract:
    We want to create  a (intelligent) plastic bender that can be reproduced in a fablab with the standard inventory of machines.

    Requirments:
    - automatic bending proces
    - possibility for bending by hand
    - programmable presets for different materials and thickness
    - precision < 1mm (0.0393")
    - bending lenth = 1.22m (48,03")
    - bending angle = < 300 degree
    - thickness = < 12mm (0.472")

  • 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.
