Fab Lab Manchester - Home Secret Agent OverPopulation Plan: Laser Cutter @ FAMiLab by Daniel Lewis If you know anyone in Florida, chances are you've heard of our secret agent problem. Here at FAMiLab, we hope to purchase a laser to cut them in half! The FAMiLab Hackerspace/Makerspace/Artspace in Central Florida is dedicated to reducing the population of Secret Agents in Florida. If you are from Florida, or know anyone from Florida, chances are that you've heard of our secret agent problem. Party-goers can hardly walk out of The Social without watching five well-dressed men ascend the adjacent buildings by their zippo-lighter zip-lines. Well, those zip lines and grappling hooks may be imaginary, but they have REAL CONSEQUENCES for business owners and evil geniuses. (but really) A laser engraver is a cheaper solution to industrial fabrication than a full laser cutter or cnc router, and can be used to mass-produce cheap parts for MakerBots and RepRaps to precise measurements. it only takes $1600 to $1700 to afford one for our hackerspace open-to-the-public lab in Altamonte Springs.

Our Story | iForge Makerspace In 2015, the University of Sheffield opened a new engineering building, The Diamond, containing state-of-the-art manufacturing teaching facilities. While this provides excellent practical experiences as part of the curriculum, there was a clear demand from students for space and equipment with which to make personal projects and parts for co-curricular activities, as well as to work on university projects outside class time. In their search for a solution, staff at the Faculty of Engineering started to look beyond the UK for examples of best practice. In the spring of 2017, Pete Mylon, a University Teacher in Manufacturing, was funded by University of Sheffield Enterprise and the Faculty of Engineering to visit a number of institutions in the US, including MIT, Olin College, and most notably, the Invention Studio at Georgia Tech. Then, as with every great venture, came the stroke of luck that set things in motion. Only one thing was holding us back: space… …and a lack of equipment
