Invention, Intellectual Property, and Income, that is what we think about this week

This week is great, You may choose your own assignment and a lot of explanation is done about Epoxy and composites. I really will enjoy this week, because I have two great clients that want me to make a longboard.

This week is all about Molding and Casting. A prototyping technique that allows a lot of freedom in shape and gives access to other materials then we have seen so far.

This week we will design and build a machine with a group. I am in the team with Philip, Paula and Erwin and we have a good idea with a machine that will make Fabacademy-live a little more pleasant

This week is all about learning how to program an embedded microprocessor. I Don't know anything about it so it is again a week full of tutorials and workshops. This week I will first do some online research and after Henks Class (on friday this time) it is time to work on the assignments

This week is a fun week, 'make something big'. Henk got us all plywood boards and we are supposed to make a design that will be human-sized and fit on one board. The design has to be prepared and milled on the Shop-bot-machine

Week 6 is about designing circuitboards and learning the workflow in KiCAD or Fusion360-Eagle for that. In order to do so, some basic understanding of electronics is part of this week. If everything goes well I have a working Hello world board at the end of the week

This week is all about 3D-printing and scanning, 3D-printing is a method that is not taking material away but is adding material in slices, which is a great method to make objects that would be impossible to make form one piece using more traditional methods. But, of course there are also quite some restrictions.

making a pressfit construction-Kit after learning the basics about working with the lasrcutter. pressfit has everything to do with knowing about the Kerf and power/speed-combinations of the lasercutter. The way your design will fit is dependent on the accuracy of knowing how the machine works. Next to this we'll make …

The first week is all about setting up a site for the documentation of the FabAcademy. Starting with learning about a static site and finding out about the system of Gitlab.
