WoodyMaker

Faire: Rome

Maker: Manuela Quaglietti

 

WoodyMaker produces objects that we have baptized original, special, beautiful "things" to give on different occasions, something that remains, can be worn or exhibited, capable of communicating data, messages and emotions. The project is based on the creativity of a craftsman who works wood with new generation tools such as lasercut to produce "things" engraved with a "code" that communicates with a software platform created to give the customer the possibility to customize that "thing" and communicate something to third parties. We went further… creating “things” that contain electronic boards and sensors able to communicate with the surrounding environment! Our project aims to demonstrate how creativity and old crafts can merge with new technologies to create "things" that are pleasant to look at, made with natural materials, a new profession is born, the technological craftsman. WoodyMaker aims to bring craftsmanship to the fore in a new form! You will be able to see and touch surprising "things" at the fair that will be exhibited in preview, discover details and have all kinds of information, for the little ones we have created educational courses to learn the basic techniques for creating 2D/3D models.

Playful Engineers: Artful Mechanisms

Faire: Pioneer Valley

Maker: Jay Mankita

Home: Massachusetts, United States

Playful Engineers teaching artist Jay Mankita presents a hands-on, drop-in, low-tech, toy-making workshop. Construct your own 'artful mechanism' using popsicle stick linkages, and paper clip crankshafts. You'll build a basic mechanical structure, overlaying your own design as the output to send a message, tell a story, accomplish a task, or bring a character to life. Your design needs may lead you back to modifications of the your mechanism. We'll make ordinary stuff act in extraordinary ways - great for kids, teens, and adults of all ages. Make a quick project, or stay the whole day!

SPARC- Sistema di Potenziamento di autonomia con ricarica continua per smartphone

Faire: Rome

Maker: ITT Bassano Romano

 

The SPARC project focusses on the design and implementation of a standalone charging system for smartphones. The central idea is to harness the kinetic energy generated by the touch of fingers on the screen, solar energy through a photovoltaic diaper and kinetic energy from an oscillating mass to autonomously recharge smartphone batteries, significantly extending battery life and reducing the need for frequent recharges. -Energy charging through the touch of the screen -Integrated solar panel -Swingling mass -Energy charging with body heat -Double rotating battery Conclusions. The SPARC project promises to revolutionise the smartphone industry, making devices more self-sufficient and sustainable. This technology could be a significant step forward for a more sustainable and technologically advanced future.

Innovative buoyancy elements for snorkeling, scuba diving and deep sea applications

Faire: Rome

Maker: Rainer Kuth

 

Problem: During scuba diving and other deep sea / underwater applications common tools like lamps, cameras, knifes, fins, masks, etc. sink fast when accidentally lost, because their density is higher than water. Sportive divers with deep-licenses can dive up to 40m for a short time and tech divers for app. 100m after complex preparation of highly sophisticated equipment and training. Loss of tools is frequent, expensive and dangerous, because sea is deeper than that at most places. Challenge: Manufacturing buoyancy elements + with a density significantly less than water + while these shall withstand high hydraulic pressure + while the buoyancy force should be exactly defined and independent of depth is not trivial. Solution: 3d printing / additive manufacturing using special parameters upon printing and optionally with hybrid processes support making buoyancy elements with individual shape and buoyancy force. With such e.g. a loss of a mask with individual glasses for 1000€ is avoided: the mask will slowly rise to the water surface for save and easy recovery. Making such buoyancy elements is possible with a 3d printer for less than 500€, a free 3d construction software and a free slicing software using special parameters. Contribution: I will show on the booth: + Free design software for buoyancy elements + Free slicing software +
