Roxbury Innovation Center Maker Movement Cafe Night
February 20, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
We’re taking over the fab lab at the Roxbury Innovation Center! Join us on Tuesday, February 20, to learn about digital fabrication from Boston Makers members:
- What a Fab Lab/Makerspace is and how it’s like and different from a traditional workshop
- Digital fabrication tools at RIC (and Boston Makers) and their design “modalities”
- 2D subtractive (Laser cutter / Vinyl cutter)
- 3D subtractive (CNC mill)
- 3D additive (3D printer)
- How digital fabrication builds on digital design
- How 3D printing fits in the context of rapid prototyping / testing designs – as part of larger workflows, such as a lead-in to molding and casting
- 3D printing beyond pieces of plastic with Desktop Metal
This informal workshop/discussion will happen twice during the evening–at 6:30 and again at 7:30. Come, learn, and meet other curious makers!
