Only five days left until Cinter Design host the Design/Make/Create Digital workshop at Swiss Cottage Library. We have been testing and fine-tuning the 3D printer in preparation for the event.  We think that it’s very important that we make 3D printing and small-scale manufacturing useful and engaging to the masses.

Here Cinter Design demonstrates that these modes of manufacture can be useful in the repair of the simplest of objects – saving great expense, waste, and time creating new parts for existing objects. Not only can upcoming high-tech technology be useful – it can also be fun and exciting! These technologies can also be used to personalise and create new things, allowing for visualisation of an idea in minutes.

Amongst other things, this workshop hopes to promote a greater need for open-access making spaces for the community, students, small businesses, hobbyists, and small manufacturing runs.

This workshop is brought to you in partnership with the ‘Pop Up Factory’, whose big idea is to reduce unsustainable shipping of goods worldwide by bringing manufacturing closer to home. The Pop-Up Factory concept won the Camden Challenge in a pitch to Camden Council, Nesta, Nominet Trust, and Unltd.

The Pop-up Factory looks to attack problems, providing the young with avenues into productive work and engaging veterans of crafts to share their skills. This concept enables a mobile manufacturing unit to deliver direct engagement of emerging technologies within the public sphere.

The mobile unit is supported by a static factory location that offers increased production capability and serves as a docking unit. The business model is for a social enterprise whose sustainability will be facilitated through sale of locally designed products, the offering of design services to local businesses, corporate investors, and overnight production.

So, try your hand at making, creating, and designing this coming Tuesday with Cinter Design.

See you soon,
