Another video promoting #FreeCad. In this video this guy shows you how to model a bike frame in FreeCAD, covering all the techniques that professional designers use to create this model.

Educational and clear how complex designs can be created with open-source tools!

Machine building week at #fabacademy. Former student Quentin made a CoreXYZ machine https://core-xyz.com/ using capstans and thread, that can be made in any #fablab or #makerspace for (almost) no cost.

#kicad accepted #gerber2png build by Fablab Kerala (india) as plugin. Easy way to create machinable images to mill or laser your #PCB #electronics.

for comparison some pictures of #PCB made here in the fablab of @waag with an #xtool F1 Ultra. #fabacademy #electronics

Another improvement in #fabacademy 's #electronics production week appears to be the #xtool UV laser. Along with the F1/F2 Ultra, this one seems capable of producing even more usable (and smaller) PCBs.

#Fabacademy started the #electronics production where students learn howto prototype #PCB 's. Huge progress this year with the addition of the fablib (standard Fab Lab) #Kicad plugin.

And since yesterday, the Gerber2Png plugin for producing machinable PNGs directly from #kicad.
