Having created a general concept, we now want to define what exactly we are doing and what will be the output of this makerlab (physical output). We have decided not to create something new, but to show how digital production together with ready available tools and materials can be easily implemented to build the public space. And how using the existent public structures (ie: bollards, fences, rails,…) we can reduce structure requirements in the products we produce.

• Confirm concept and production process

• Each person selects a public structure for which he will produce the plug-in

• Make pictures to do 3D scan of the objects.

• Design an object which fits that bollard and that contributes to the public space use

• Transform object to Intersecting slices so that we can produce it with the laser cutter.

Notes

Most of us can use already 3D modelling tools, but still we find some challenges when adapting the products for this kind of production. It true that the interfaces will be more and more easy for all to use, but in the mean time might this project be more about a library of products, that people can adapt to their environment, or can non-experts produce objects from start to end?
