You've probably heard of the Fablab from TOA's brilliant marketing team, word of mouth, or if you're a DMD student. It is a communal space where everyone pitches in to work together towards creating something. Think of it as a home outside of home to spend time with friends or make new friends, to work together to build physical projects in a friendly environment.
Tbh... anything! To be specific I'll list down the most sought after equipments such as 3D Printers, Laser Cutting Machines, Wood Cutting Equipment, and Arduino Circuitry. For more information read the fine manuals below.
Don't be a bitch, a liar, and a selfish person. The FablabSave is a communal environment where everyone plays a role to support one another. We do not condone these negative behaviors and you stand a chance to get blacklisted. If you see someone's in need of help, then help them. If you see that there is a class in progress, come back another time.
Of course, in fact we encourage collaboration between different courses. The Fablab is open to all who are interested in learning something new and working with one another.
No. Contact [DMD] Alden Chia Hong Teng, not the student account. And request to book a session in the lab.
No. Do not bother outsourcing your work to your friends to finish your mess, if you have a project you need done, you are expected to see through it yourself.
Those are most likely senior students who have experience in the Fablab. You will notice a pattern when we get to know you is that we build trust as we work together overtime. Those students have spent time learning and proving to us that they know how to operate those machines.
No, we will be monitoring your behavior and actions in the lab when you are a new student. That means that your first initial projects with the equipment will be supervised until we believe you are able to work by yourself. This is to avoid injuries and to stop students from raising drama.
Depends, as of writing this answer there is an abundance of materials in the lab. Unless you wish to use a very specific material you can use the ones in the lab for whatever project you wish.
Only if you are careless, be cautious and aware of your surroundings when working, do not mess around with friends when you are in the proximity of heavy machinery.
A quick trip to the hospital from injuries, a whacking from someone, a permanent blacklist where you are not allowed to to enter the Fablab, or all 3.
Of course, though we expect you to bond with other students or help them whenever you notice something is off. The lab is a quick way to build up social skills and friends.
