Combinando la artesanía y la fabricación digital hemos producido el fresado del corcho para el proyecto de Lucia Bruni, ¨Handy Upcycled¨. Lucia es una artesana ubicada en Poble Nou en Barcelona. Crea objetos originales hechos a mano y trabaja con materiales naturales. Ha diseñado el juego de mesa ¨Handy Upcycled¨.

El procedimiento resulto a un producto original que su producción es mucho mas eficiente en nivel de uso de recursos locales.

El proceso fue el siguente:

Generación de código GCODE utilizando RhinoCam para Rhinoceros
Detalles técnicos:
Estrategia 1: Horizontal Roughing
Estrategia 2: Parallel Finishing
Estrategia 3: Profiling
Broca 6mm Flat Mill

Fresado CNC

Máquina: Precix

Fab Labs and makers of the world, support this great project from our collaborators from MID: http://goteo.org/project/bhoreal/

BHOREAL is an Open Source interface based on the Arduino platform that allows to control all types of software and hardware using a surface with RGB LED-backlit pushbuttons.

You can use it as OSC/MIDI device to trigger samples live, as sequencer, synthesizer, rhythmbox, pitch map generator or remote control. It can also work in standalone mode as algorithmic and generative driver, mathematical simulator, game interface, low resolution LED display or any other kind of application you can imagine.

The BHOREAL controller allows to overcome the constraints imposed by conventional device manufacturers. Its Open Source essence makes it possible to modify and adapt the tool freely.

Thanks to its versatility, BHOREAL is a fundamental tool for DJs, VJs, musicians, artists, hackers and all kinds of creative DIY people willing to explore a piece of hardware which is infinitely reconfigurable and reprogrammable.

Both hardware and firmware are completely Open Source and are released under Creative Commons licenses. BHOREAL is Windows/Mac OS/Linux compatible.

There are four BHOREAL models: Minikit, Kit, Slim and Slim Pro.

The Smart Citizen community in Barcelona is launching the first design contest in order to select the best and most attractive case for the Smart Citizen Kit. The contest is open to designers, creators, artists or makers around Fab Labs, Maker Spaces, Hacker Spaces, and any other organizations. The goal is to obtain a design which could be replicated in any fabrication facility in the world, just by downloading the blueprints from the Smart Citizen online platform (http://beta.smartcitizen.me), it should be produced within the tools available in the Fab Labs, such as 3d printing, laser cutting, cnc milling, among others. The proposals will be evaluated by the Smart Citizen and Fab Lab Barcelona team, and will be published on the different online platforms and social media.

Hack a T-shirt series

The first exercise of the workshop was to hack a T-shirt interventing with adding, subsracting, reassembling an every day T-shirt using the tecnology offered by the lab.
3D printing, Laser Cutting, Rastering, Digital Embroidery and Sewing were used.

The second task was to design a wearable garment by digitalizing a pattern design to Rhinoceros, making the changes and laser cutting the whole piece.

Material library and Catalogue of laser cut configurations

The third part was to make a project using electronics. The project was to make a triangulated bag of felt, unrolling the surface and laser cutting in. We used magnets, battery 9V and leds to make a bag that when you open it, it lights up!

With these introductory workshop the Fab Lab is opening an innovative research field, trying to combine fashion design with digital technologies and collaborations with fashion experts. The Fab-textiles is a ongoing research with a repeating event every month.
V2 workshop with focus more on smart reactive materials and embedded electronics.

Machinic Conversations I: Hacking an industrial 6axis robot

The first design assignment for the students of the Master in Advanced Architecture 2013 was to develop and test communication protocols to control and manipulate the behaviour of a large industrial robot. Since 6-axis machines such as the one in the IAAC Fab Lab are directly inherited from the mass production of cars and other industrial products, the first focus of our design research has been devoted to developing alternative protocols of robotic fabrication that would afford a more direct interaction between machine and designer, as well as machine and the surrounding environment; these protocols will lead to the engineering of mass customized productions.

3D robotic light painting.

Our first experimental set up was the following:

-The robot was controlled by each student via Grasshopper, through the use of the KUKA | Krc plug-in (from association for robots in architecture) for Grasshopper and Rhino. Each group did draw a series of parametric lines that would become the tool paths for the robot.

-A video simulation with the virtual robot in Grasshopper was performed by each student to understand the behaviour of the machine along the path and amend eventual errors; the video would allow also the testing of multiple path parameters and robot behavioural options.

-The tool mounted on the robot contained 1 fixed LED light and 2 or 4 blinking ones; the blinking was also controlled via Grasshopper and related to the robotic arm path.

-A camera was positioned in front of the robot and its exposure tuned to the particular lighting conditions and the length in time of the tool path. Such configuration allowed capturing the ephemeral lighting traces left by the robotic arm movements. The robotic behaviour is therefore translated into a 3D robotic light painting.
