Fabricating fully functional drones
Following up, in a way, on our post last week about fabricating a Zine Machine, we’re looking at the other end of the high-tech spectrum. This project at MIT, is able to fabricate fully functional drones using a widely available laser cutter, and an advanced assembly device developed by the research team, the LaserFactory.
Creative technology and play
Fun interview with Nicole He, “a creative technologist whose work lives in the space between video games, physical computing, and witty conceptual art.” Her profile is interesting in our FabCity context because He finds herself at a roughly adjacent intersection to ours.
Fabricating a Zine Machine
One kind of resource often found around Fab City initiatives, is of course the Fab Lab, which allows local fabrication and experimentation, as well as introducing more people and communities to the possibilities of such an inventory of tools in a neighbourhood. The Zine Machine is a great example of a fun project and also of the distributed nature and opportunities of this kind of workshop.
In-building tool libraries
We’re likely not going to be featuring a lot of products and services here, preferring to concentrate on ideas, communities, collaborations, etc. But this one is pretty brilliant and fills a need we’ve seen for sure.
