changing the fablab wall-logo

Fablab Location: 
Waag Society

On a rainy thursday afternoon, I decided it was time to change the fablab wall logo that was hanging on the hallway. I discussed this with the well-respected manager Alex, and to my great pleasure he agreed.

Previously, the wall signature looked like this:

I wanted to use birchwood for it, and I wanted to cut it with the laser cutter.
The only restriction I had was that I wanted to use the shape of the current logo, because was already
connected to the wall.

Invitation production line / wood cut

Fablab Location: 
Waag Society

The goal is to make approx. 50 wooden invites (12 x 9 cm) using the laser cutter.
The invitations have a rasterized picture on the front, text at the back, and a little stand. To have the invitation rest on the stand, we burned a shape 2 mm into the wood. Settings for this were speed 19 and power 95.

Floo Bag

Fablab Location: 
Waag Society

I started with an idea to make a bag only using the lasercutter.

I took some thin 3mm multiplex for the body of the bag.

I made a digital file in Illustrator. Because I didn't want to have te lasercutter rastering the image on the bag, I wanted to keep the print in hairline, but just cpoy-pasted the image a few times while moving them a bit. This gives a really special-effect when looking at the bag, because it gives you the feeling you see dubble... (Or was it something else...?)

Press fit kit - Zebra

Fablab Location: 
Waag Society

For the mas863 class, last weeks assignement was to construct a press fit kit. I started off making some tests with cardboard with discs and arms, but i didnt like the design of it. I wanted to make something totally reduced to as less possible parts, and use very basic shapes like a square. 

Another aspect was that I wanted it to become a product. So i endet up with making a room divider. A room divider has to be flexible, so I had to think of press fit joints. I used 4mm soft wood which is very light. Here are all the connector shapes neccesary to build the room divider.
