StrutModeling: A Low-Fidelity Construction Kit to Iteratively Model, Test, and Adapt 3D Objects We present StrutModeling, a computationally enhanced construction kit that enables users without a 3D modeling background to…
Read moreIxD&A 2016 – From Hacking Things to Making Things. Rethinking making by supporting non-expert users in a FabLab.
When discussing maker culture, much attention is dedicated to how making can be beneficial for specific fields (e.g. healthcare, education) or various communities of makers (e.g. educators, crafters). The democratic…
Read moreDesign4Health 2015 – Participatory design and participatory making in a FabLab: challenges for users and designers
This article explores self-fabrication by novice participants in a FabLab for a Participatory Design (PD) research project ‘Bespoke Design’. We developed bespoke tools for self-managing diabetes specifically related to one…
Read moreAll Makers Now? 2014 – Great Expectations and Big Challenges: A FabLab as facilitator for personal fabrication of tools to self-manage diabetes
This article discusses the role of a FabLab as a research and making environment within the ‘Bespoke Design’ research project and its implications for the involved designers. ‘Bespoke Design’ deals…
