It has multiple layers of aluminium which can be graved in very well. For my design I got influenced by the movie Pulp Fiction (Tarantino). So I decided to engrave the karikatures of John Travolta and Samuel L Jackson on it. text/html 2009-10-15T16:36:59+02:00 http://www.cabfablab.nl/labwiki/doku.php/cnc-step_high-z_s-1000?rev=1255617419&do=diff General information and specifications This page is under construction and not complete. Always ask the labmanager for help on the milling machine. This wiki page is about the CNC Step High-Z S1000 milling machine. This is a medium sized milling machine, with millable dimensions of 600 x 1000 x 100 mm. The object on the table can be larger, limited to a width of 625mm and an “infinite” length. It is technically possible to mill a 600mm x 2000mm object, but you will have to shift your workpiec… text/html 2011-03-07T11:06:30+02:00 http://www.cabfablab.nl/labwiki/doku.php/dimension_sst_1200_es?rev=1299492390&do=diff General Information What is a 3D printer? A printer that can print 3D models. The printer has two extruders, each connected to a spool with material. One is the printing material, ABSplus. The other one is support material (the brown stuff), which is soluble in a basic solvent; this is used to fill up empty space in your model. ABSplus is ideal for printing models with built-in hinges, flexible and/or moving parts without the need of subsequent assembly. The printer builds the structure throug… text/html 2011-01-28T17:06:13+02:00 http://www.cabfablab.nl/labwiki/doku.php/epilog_mini_24?rev=1296230773&do=diff This page intends to explain how to use the Epilog mini 24 laser cutter that we have here at our lab. It is a computer controlled cutting machine used to create two-dimensional shapes out of various materials, from a digital design. It uses a strong laser to cut trough material. It can also be used to engrave an image into the surface of the material instead of cutting through. text/html 2011-04-19T16:53:50+02:00 http://www.cabfablab.nl/labwiki/doku.php/material_library?rev=1303224830&do=diff This page is a beginning of a collection of the most used materials in our FabLab. Synthetics Plastics * ABS. Thermoplastic used in 3D printing with our Dimension. Comparable to the plastic used in automotive bumpers or cellphone enclosures. Available on stock. * Acrylic. Better known as plexiglass, this is the material often used for laser cutting and engraving, due to its precise melting. Available on stock in several colours, transparencies and thicknesses. text/html 2009-08-27T16:50:48+02:00 http://www.cabfablab.nl/labwiki/doku.php/material_suppliers?rev=1251384648&do=diff This is a list of known material suppliers in or around The Hague which carry products suitable for e.g. our laser cutter.

At Haaglanden Rubber it was cut of a 1.5 meter high roll and it costs about 18 euro per square meter. text/html 2011-07-17T12:14:29+02:00 http://www.cabfablab.nl/labwiki/doku.php/reprap?rev=1310897669&do=diff RepRap The RepRap is an open source 3D-printer. At CabFabLab we have built the RepRap Mendel. The current status of the project is that the machine basically works, but not yet perfectly. Some work is needed on finding the right settings and doing adjustments to produce good objects. Possible improvements that it could use are creating a heated bed to prevent warping of the object, building a better and faster extruder, and improving the software to make printing easier or more accurate.

Materialen om te laseren. De laser bij CabFabLab (Epilog mini 24 Laser cutter) is niet geschikt voor het snijden van MDF soorten. Graveren gaat prima, maar 2mm MDF is al teveel om door te snijden.
