From Digital Ideas to Real Objects

00:00:01: Welcome back!

00:00:05: Today, our episode will be in English.

00:00:09: And we have a special guest today which is our colleague Ismael and he'll tell us about very special studio.

00:00:18: So dear listeners what happens when an idea shouldn't just stay on the screen?

00:00:24: What if digital drawing could suddenly become something you can actually hold in your hands.

00:00:29: That's exactly what we're looking at today, We are today in BitSpace Make In Room B-Zero One, one on one.

00:00:37: Here digital ideas can be real objects.

00:00:41: Hi Ismael!

00:00:42: Can we... What can't tell us about make?

00:00:45: Hi Paula Actually there two possibilities in make and make And they're embroidery machines that have the three D printers.

00:00:54: One of the main things you can do here is three-day printing.

00:00:58: You probably know what regular printer it puts ink on paper.

00:01:03: A three day printer works a little different than normal printers.

00:01:07: Instead of ink, It builds an object!

00:01:09: It uses a tin standard of plastic and which is called flamend.

00:01:15: The plastic gets heated until it becomes soft... ...you can think off like a little bit very precise hot glue gun.

00:01:23: The printer puts down one thin layer of plastic.

00:01:26: Then another layer goes on top, so it goes till the object is done.

00:01:31: There are two Tridi printers in Mac area.

00:01:34: One of them you can print up to four different colors.

00:01:38: But before you can't print something You need a digital Tridi model.

00:01:42: You can create one yourself On computer Or scan real objects using Tridi scanner.

00:01:48: The scanner captures shape and turns into a digital treaty model.

00:01:54: Or you can get pre-designed objects from websites called Tingerverse or Makerworld.

00:02:01: You mentioned an embroidery machine, Can you tell our listeners more about that?

00:02:06: Yes sure!

00:02:07: We also have really advanced embroidery machines in our make room.

00:02:11: First create your design on computer.

00:02:14: Then you send the file to Embroidery Machine And the machine turns your digital designs into an actual embouchure using thread.

00:02:23: So in a way you can think of it as digital drawing going from one computer onto real fabric.

00:02:30: The main idea behind the make area is pretty simple You start with an idea, create or edit digitally and then at end have something real.

00:02:42: Maybe its a three-d printed object maybe its an embedded right design And if your aren't sure how to turn your ideas into something real You can also get advice and support.

00:02:53: That sounds so cool!

00:02:55: So Ismael, Can you tell us how we can book the room?

00:02:59: The make area can be used from Monday to Friday between nine a.m.

00:03:03: till four p.m.. You just need to book an appointment beforehand... ...you can contact with Madeinpraxis at unibielefeldt.de.

00:03:13: Thank you so much.

00:03:14: That was the May area.

00:03:16: This is where you can experiment, build things and turn digital ideas into something real.

00:03:22: In the next episode we are getting creative in a slightly different way.

00:03:27: We'll be looking at design paper cutting and stop motion.

00:03:31: So I see you in the next one And thank You Ismael Bye.
