#sci fablab

Let me introduce you Vermo & Verma! They are the mascots of this the 2017 Trieste Mini Maker Faire. 

It all started when I had to design the “Call for Makers” poster which contained the graphics of fishes and the seagull made out of tools. The question was: “what attracts fishes?”, metaphor for makers? Among magnets and other tools, we chose the robot worms! Since most of the robots are male, and in most of the FabLabs work men, I chose to do also the girl worm (I promise that I’ll work also on other genders).  It has been such a satisfaction seeing them on the busses around Trieste, on the bus stops and in many other posters!

So here I posted a few things, the work includes postcards, flyers, sticker and the catalogue that collects all the maker’s works!

A part from my work, it has been an amazing team work with the Sci Fablab!!!

BIG PARTY.

So at the Sci FabLab everyone is happy because because there is a great event tonight! I’m freeing the FabLab from the wood that I used to cut Alkene’s dodecahedrons!!!

Joking. The FabLab will still be buried by the wood.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Tonight, live, at Atelier Home Gallery, Alkene will present their new album “Etere”!

We finally wrapped the dodecahedrons, they’re ready to be assembled!

These geometrical shapes are designed for educational purposes.

CONE It is cut in 4 different ways in order to obtain the circle, ellipse, hyperbole and parabola. The pieces were separately printed and they stick together with magnets for an easier explanation.

PYRAMID It is also sliced to see the proportions and sections. A hole goes through all the pieces in order to pass a string and keep the pieces together to form the pyramid. 

Much better today! 

We managed to obtain the filament almost from the the whole surface of the bottle, until the curve drastically changes. The beam is differently bent, so that follows the bottle's cut grade. It works better with soft plastic - so far.
