This page is an archive of iMAL's wiki that operated between 2012 and 2022. It documented projects, residencies and workshops mostly taking place at iMAL's Fablab.

Older & newer Fablab projects are now found at fablab.imal.org

An openLAB Masterclass with Marius WatzParticipants will explore how software processes can be combined with digital fabrication to produce physical objects that are the result of dynamic software systems, opening new fields for artists, designers and other creative people. Specifically, we will...

Interview exclusif deThomas Van Bouwel,architecte chez UrbanPlatform, réalisé à iMAL le 4 mars 2014 par Thérèse Kanyange (stagiaire en Relations Publiques à iMAL).1. Comment avez-vous été amené à connaître les nouvelles technologies de fabrication numérique ?C'est grâce à iMAL et à travers l'...
This is a comparison of the same model printed with a Makerbot Replicator2 and a Form1. This model need to be the exact dimension. Parts like motors, cables and screw can perfectly fit.First of all you can print thread with the form1, it's almost impossible with the replicator, ultimaker and thing-...
This is what we want to produce, by scanning the face of a person and printing it. Mini people!What you needA Kinect or related PrimeSense-based depth sensor (like the Asus Xtion)A Windows PC with a powerful graphic card with recent drivers (you need OpenCL support) A 3D printerThe process in...
The machine should be calibrated, the calibration data are saved in the machine. You can view them in GCode through:Machine -> OnBoard Preferences -> HomingCurrent working values for iMAL's Thing-O-Matic : X home offset (mm) : -54.281 Y home offset (mm) : -56.448 Z home offset (mm) : 97....
There should be a dedicated computer in the FabLab with all the softwares installed to operate the MakerBot. But if you ever needed to install everything on an another computer...This is for iMAL's Makerbot Thing-O-Matic with its MK6 extruder (0.5mm noozle)!Make sure the Makerbot is...
 Our first Makerbot 3d printer (bought May 2011) is a: Thing-O-Matic with a MK6 extruder (0.5mm noozle - 2.88mm filament).The build platform was modified with an alumium plate for maintaining its flatness under heating(we don't use the Automatic Build Platform, not really usable).The platform...
Experiments with regular 3d geometry and  a bunch of algorithms. Ingredients: Processing, Hemesh, Makerbots, OpenSCAD, skeinforge.
Beyond Resonance explores how a circle transforms when it's distorted by a wave. Different waves are used to manipulate the perimeter of a circle into a more organic looking shape. The machines, with their imperfections, added some glitches to the otherwise perfect geometric shapes. Their...
Beta version of a new iteration of the ModelBuilder library. Likely to be updated in the course of the workshop.
Marius Watz (NO) is an artist and sometime curator working with code as an aesthetic material. His work explores abstract forms as the outcome of generative systems, with output ranging from realtime software art to physical structures created using digital fabrication tools...
