Mechatronics is the combination of mechanics, electronics and (more recently) computing to create programmable mechanical machines. This design process can be applied for example to robotics, it's also the basis of machines such as drawbots or RepRap, Makerbot or Ultimaker printers....
Introduction to Physical Computing - ArduinoThese sessions are an introduction to "Physical computing" or how to create a digital object that can interact with its close or remote environment. We will also explore the connection with a computer, thus allowing it to interface with the "physical...
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...

We had a 4 day workshop at Wikimal and had the opportunity to try out the 3D printers, the lasercutter and the fraser/cnc machine.I focused on the problem of displaying paper projects, such as posters, or drawings. I wanted something to support it and something that it could hang on.So I made my...
IMPORTANT NOTE: From September 2018 onwards, MDF is forbidden for practicals (it's damaging the machine) and ecologicals reasons in the lasercutter.Updated with new focal length & instructions on importing and layers! (20/3/2013)iMAL lasercutter just arrived on Monday 13 February 2012.It's made...
Qu'est-ce que tailler un crayon? Transformer un outil devenu inutile avec le temps et l'effort afin de le remettre à jour tout en le démolissant un peu plus à chaque fois? Est-ce qu'un crayon doit forcément se détruire à petit feu pour rester utile? Le taille crayon est-il devenu un bourreau ou un...

An old style frame with a computer. A slideshow controled by a Raspberry Pi. Design a box, add holes : for the screen, for the ventilation, and to access some wire. Think also on the back plate to adjust the fixing for the screen. On most screen there is a Vesa norm, here it's 4 holes for 3mm...
A small project for school: Home (interiors) in the sixties.This is a very simple project for school: the house frame is laser-cut on 3mm MDF.A printed picture of the house is glued on top. Doors and windows can be open and reveal several pictures of interiors from the 1960 period.
A very simple project: laser-cut skyline templates on wallpaper to paint a room.The end-result:
This model is a 'foldout' papercraft model of a project that is currently being designed at Urban Platform architects.

You have a nice screen with a box.You have some setting to adjust.First...
[Work in progress]What does it do ?I developed that software to help people to select the most appropriate settings for the Cyborg LaserCutter. You specify the speed/power min/max values and the software generate a layer per speed/power combinaison. Each layer will contains a pattern to...
The starting point was a Flash animation, Deus Digitalis (2009). Dancing human figures, are symmetrically arranged in groups of 25 in different default colors. Processing
Following steps were planned:
Translate the Flash code into Processing code. Drop the animation, we are making '...
Building generative pop-ups with code, laser cut in paper or cardboard, folded by hand.The origin of this idea came from the will to extend the project I did for the Writtenimages book and turn it into 3D. Since the original project is a 2D based drawing, I thought I might keep these as a...
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...
