Logrosán organizes a free activity for locals and curious individuals to get started in digital fabrication. No prior experience is needed; attendees will learn how 3D printers and laser cutters work, as well as create their own designs. A practical and educational environment to bring technology closer to the community.
Digital Fabrication: Process and Technical Possibilities 🛠️
3D printing builds objects layer by layer from plastic filament, ideal for prototypes and functional parts. Laser cutting, on the other hand, uses a concentrated light beam to engrave or cut materials such as wood or acrylic. Both technologies allow transitioning from digital design to physical object in minutes, fostering creativity and local problem-solving.
Either it turns out well, or you get a new paperweight 😅
Sure, there's always a chance your first design looks more like a melted alien than a geometric figure. But no worries: laser cutting at least guarantees that if you fail, you'll have a perfectly charred piece of wood to decorate your shelf. Of course, better not try to print a phone stand without first calibrating the heated bed.
