Shapes were created using the Roland 3D design, machined using the Roland modela player together with the Roland Virtual modela for preview, its easy using the Roland modela software i.e Dr.Picza( for scanning),3d engrave ( 3d machining from scanned data), 3D Design ( 3d Modeling), etc. Hope the pictures will explain it all.
till next time!!!
Enjoy!

we used an old keyboard button/key as our 3D object to be sacanned.The button/key was scanned using modela software Dr.picza and 3D engrave for machining. its was an interesting experience. I hope the pictures will explain it all. We were experimenting with the modela, so Tshepiso promise to scan more interesting objects( more 3D scanning [...]

Men at work building what would eventually become FabLab’s new home. It’s quite an exciting experience. Moving from an old place to a new place is a bit of a challenge and an exciting experience. We packed materials, removed and rolled cables, components into boxes, moved tables chairs cabinets out, machines one by one they [...]

The mega88 controller board has been designed to be used in any applications that require a microcontroller. The Atmel Atmega88 AVR is used to design the mega88 controller board. Connecting inputs and outputs is done through 4-pos mta pin headers. It also has a 5 pos- mta pin header for ISP and a power jack [...]

I think a lot of people have been asking themselves what happened, no new posts, nothing new on the fabsosh blog. The past few weeks has been hectic for us, we’ve been hard at work with our new project, a line follower robot. Our next target after this robot is Rodney’s Robot (the one which [...]
