Like any other production processes, there will always be wasted bits and pieces out of these beautiful technologies, either wasted materials or misused time and energy.<\/p>\n

Here, I will be sharing the progress of my design research on “reuse of materials in digital fabrication” at Fablab Maastricht<\/a> and experimental trials that could be helpful for you.<\/p>\n

To start, let me give you a brief on Fablab\u2026<\/p>\n

The fabrication laboratory A.K.A. Fablab is a workspace with computer-controlled tools and physically
\na vast network of possibilities. It is known as a disruptive technology, where it brought manufacturing into homes, offices and schools, making manufacturing more flexible. While 3D printers are a simple version
\nfor rapid prototyping, relatively use much less energy and are more adjustable to your needs, now you can instantly produce your own designed product at home using a 3D printer. While the selection of materials
\nis limited, it is increasing, from titanium to plastic, rubber and wood\u2026 you name it, it will most probably be there or being developed. However, plastic is the most widely used material of all others.<\/p>\n

My focus is on these topics:<\/p>\n

1\u00a0 Sustainable materials used in Fablab<\/strong>
\n 2\u00a0 Trials & errors with 3D printing and laser cutting<\/strong>
\n 3\u00a0 Reusing and recycling waste materials in Fablab<\/strong>
\n 4\u00a0 Finding new possibilities for Product Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like to be part of this and share your ideas or experiences on these topics? I’ll be happy to hear about it!<\/p>\n
