Shapertool router

Shapertool router

von | Jan. 29, 2023 | 2D, machine

„Shapertool Origin“ is a handheld CNC router similar to a conventional carpenter router but with an in-build surface scanner to recognize the exact position with the help of markers. Through the touch-screen of the router you can position your .svg drawing virtually on the surface of the wood. Then set some basic values like the size of your drill or the carving depth and you are ready to go! The router shows you the carving direction on the display while your hands actively move the router above the wood. Your imprecision gets constantly corrected by the moving head inside a tolerance radius of about 4 cm. If you loose the path or the router is not balanced well above an angle, the motor switches off immediately. Wearing safety googles is obligatory!

Always ask the fablab team before using the machine and we will give you all necessary information about working safety.

On request we organize machine courses explaining you all details.

More information, video tutorials and product examples are available on the Shapertools website or on the blog „Shaper Hub“

Ultimaker S5 dual extrusion

von | Jan. 28, 2023 | 3D, 3D Printer, machine

3D printer based on the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) or Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process. The 3D printer has two extruders so you can load two different filament types or different colours. This 3D printer can run overnight. Build volume: 330 x 240 x 300mm

Always ask the fablab team before using the machine and we will give you all necessary information about working safety.

Official tutorials on youtube>>>

 

Start

You need a digital 3D model that you can export in .STL format.

Software

Before printing, you have to prepare your 3D model. For this purpose, the software CURA is available at the Fablab. You can also download CURA for free and install it on your computer. 

 

Material 

Fablab has different materials (filaments) to choose from. PLA, TPU, PVA, Breakaway and some experimental filaments. You can also bring your own filament (D=2,85mm).

Costs

The costs depend on the material required and the time needed.

For more information consult our price list.

Vacuum forming machine

Vacuum forming machine

von | Jan. 25, 2023 | 3D, Handmaschinen, machine

It`s a manual thermoforming machine for the production of negative moulds and for moulding objects. The machine heats thermoplastic films and stretches them over the mould by applying a vacuum. It disposes about programmable heating elements you can control via touchscreen and it`s possible to safe programs. The negative moulds should be heat resistant and solid as the hot thermoplastic films stretches over them. It has a moulding area of 430 x 280 mm and a height of 160 mm. After the formed part has cooled, air is forced between the mould and the sheet to help it release.

Vacuum forming is widely used for industries and applications such as chocolate or sweets molds, frames and covers of any kind, packaging for electronic devices and production of small plastic components.

Please be aware that the heating elements get really hot, so don`t put your hands in that area. Always ask the fablab team before using the machine and we will give you all necessary information about working safety.

Material 

PPlastic sheets up to ~6 mm: PMMA, PC, PE, HIPS, PETG & many more

Costs

2,00 € per machine use
