    Fab Lab Siegen

    FablabLogo
    Laufzeit: seit 2014

    Förderung: Universität Siegen

    Ansprechpartner:

    Das Fab Lab Siegen ist eine für alle offene, interdisziplinäre (Kreativ-)Werkstatt, in der das gemeinschaftliche Arbeiten und Experimentieren mit der Fabrikation (fast) beliebiger Dinge im Vordergrund steht. Fab Labs (Fabrication Laboratories, dt. Fabrikationslabore) sollen Menschen also – unabhängig von Expertise, Ausbildung und Hintergrund – nützlich sein, um Projekte in Austausch und Zusammenarbeit mit anderen planen und umsetzen zu können. Genau diese Möglichkeiten des Austauschen, des Teilens von Wissen sowie die Community sind die mit Abstand wichtigsten Angebote und Ziele eines solchen Labs, von denen es weltweit mittlerweile hunderte gibt. Fab Labs sind eng verwandt mit Hack- und Makerspaces oder, allgemeiner, Innovation Hubs und stehen gerade auch mit der in den Medien in letzter Zeit zunehmend thematisierten Maker-Kultur in Zusammenhang, in der es ebenfalls um Do-It-Yourself und die kreative Nutzung von Technologie geht.

    Community & Mitmachen

    Das Fab Lab Siegen soll eine Infrastruktur für alle werden, die Interesse haben, sie zu nutzen, aktiv mitzugestalten, Veranstaltungen anzubieten oder Aktivitäten wissenschaftlich zu begleiten. Der Aufbau und die rechtliche sowie versicherungstechnische Ausgestaltung eines solchen Labs an einer Universität ist jedoch Neuland, nicht trivial und aufwändig. Aus diesem Grund wird das Lab derzeit nur für Forschungszwecke experimentell genutzt, was die Daten- und Erfahrungsbasis für die weitere Öffnung liefert. Parallel dazu bieten wir immer wieder experimentelle, aber im Studium anrechenbare Lehrveranstaltungen, externe Workshops, Vorträge, und ähnliches in der Region sowie bundesweit an und arbeiten mit Schulen, Unternehmen, Lehrstühlen und andere Organisationen zu digitaler und verteilter Fabrikation zusammen. Diese Forschungs- und Aufbauphase soll ab Ende August 2016 auch durch offene Tage und Zeiten für alle, regelmäßige, interdisziplinär und interfakultativ offene Lehrveranstaltungen und Workshops im Fab Lab und mehr ausgebaut werden.

    Forschung

    Das Fab Lab Siegen ist ein Forschungsprojekt der ischool, wobei der Lehrstuhl für Computerunterstützte Gruppenarbeit und Sozialer Medien das Projekt koordiniert.

    Das Lab sieht sich als offene Forschungs- und Lehrinfrastruktur, die auch von weiteren KollegInnen sehr gerne aktiv mitgenutzt, mitgetragen und mitgestaltet werden sollte. Erste Beispiele für Siegener Forschungsprojekte, die ein Fab Lab als Infrastruktur und auch als Forschungsgegenstand explizit mitberücksichtigen, sind z.B. ZEIT.RAUM Siegen und YALLAH, aber auch bestehende Projekte können produktiv mit dem Fab Lab zusammenarbeiten, wie aktuelle Gespräche zur Einrichtung eines come_IN Computerclubs im Lab erkennen lassen. Nicht zuletzt stellt auch das Lab selbst einen wichtigen Forschungsgegegstand dar, denn der Aufbau, Betrieb sowie das Finden tragfähiger Organisations-, Finanz- und Lehrmodelle für Fab Labs in Universitäten ist immer noch absolutes Neuland.

    • Frohn-Sörensen, P., Reuter, J. & Engel, B. (2024)Concept for the Incorporation of Auxetics as Active Die Faces for Flexible Metal Forming Tools

      Proceedings of the 14th International Conference on the Technology of Plasticity – Current Trends in the Technology of Plasticity. Cham, Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland, Pages: 20–31 doi:10.1007/978-3-031-40920-2_3
      [BibTeX] [Abstract]

      Auxetic materials and cellular structures offer unique mechanical properties with respect to negative Poisson ratios, which essentially leads to elevated shear moduli and delivers superior mechanical resilience under specific mechanic and dynamic loading conditions. In the present study, we provide a literature review about auxetics, their specific properties and the resulting mechanical behavior. Systematically, we present concepts to apply these properties to the elementary functions of adjustable tools in groups of passive and active implementations of auxetic structures into forming tools. Conceptual application clusters are derived with respect to three scales of flexible forming tools: i) smallest adjustments of a surface layer to influence and control the material flow by pressure distribution, ii) intermediate adjustments to comply with manufacturing tolerances (e.g. elastic springback of the product) and iii) large tool surface adjustments by actuated substructures to produce variants. We present protype concepts of an elastically deformable cellular auxetic structure and a non-assembly mechanism with auxetic properties and quantify the benefits and limitations of both concepts. In future, we aim to apply these concepts to demonstrators used in sheet metal forming processes.

    • Frohn-Sörensen, P., Mouratidis, M. & Engel, B. (2023)Design of non-assembly joints incorporating randomness generated through a publicly accessible 3D print farm

      Traditionally, technical hinge joints are made of multiple parts, which need to be assembled. Additive manufacturing (AM) provides the option to overcome these assembly steps since movable mechanisms become manufacturable in a streamlined manufacturing route. The feasibility for such so-called “print-in-place” approaches has been proven and punctual design recommendations are available in additive manufacturing community knowledge. Still, a generalized assessment of the influencing parameters is absent because the layout of the gap of a joint highly depends on the AM boundary conditions. This study considers manufacturing simple hinge joints by the method of fused filament fabrication (FFF) on commercially available 3D printers. In order to generate representative scatter, the manufacturing jobs of the specimens are placed on a 3D print farm in a university fab lab. The machines are utilized and maintained by a public community, which also utilizes different materials suppliers in a randomized manner. Series of print-in-place joints are printed with statistically relevant repetitions under variation of the hinge joint gap, print orientation and AM layer height. After manufacture, the joints are tested to provide statistical information on force necessary for motion. The results indicate that with a reduction of gap width, the forces necessary to initially release and move the joints begins to rise until complete fusion of bushing and hinge axis. If the hinge axis is aligned with the Z-axis of the 3D printing process tighter critical clearances become manufacturable than with a hinge alignment in the XY-plane of the 3D printer. Moreover, reduced scatter of the results is obtained in the Z-axis. As for the layer height, it is seen that layer heights of 0.1 mm might lead to increased release forces while the largest adjusted layer height of 0.3 mm led to increased forces during the hinges’ motion.

      In order to flexibly handle products with varying shapes and materials, soft robotic pneumatic network actuators (pneunets) have been proposed due to their compliant behavior. Pneunets are manufactured with manual casting or with additive manufacturing (AM). In this work, the four AM technologies fused filament fabrication (FFF), stereolithography (SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS) and polyjetting (PJ) are compared for manufacturing pneunets. Results are analyzed regarding manufacturability, deflection behavior and airtightness. SLS and FFF show best results and least manufacturing restrictions for thermoplastic polyurethane pneunets. SLA and PJ lead to manufacturing specific deficits and critical material failures during pneunet operation.

      The increasing functionalities and close integration of hardware and software of modern cyber-physical systems present users with distinct challenges in applying and, especially, appropriating those systems within their practices. Existing approaches to design for appropriation and the development of sociable technologies that might support users seeking to understand how to make such technologies work in a specific practice, often lack appropriate user interfaces to explain the internal and environment-related behavior of a technology. By taking the example of 3D printing, we examine how augmented reality can be used as a novel human–machine interface to ease the way for hardware-related appropriation support. Within this paper we designed, implemented and evaluated a prototype called PrintARface, that extends a physical 3D printer by incorporating virtual components. Reflections upon the evaluation of our prototype are used to provide insights that foster the development of hardware-related appropriation support by encompassing augmented reality-based human–machine interfaces.

      Digital fabrication technologies, such as 3D printers, are receiving more and more attention, not only from professionals but also from hobbyists. However, even though people have easier access to these devices, 3D printers remain a black box for many users. To support the appropriation of 3D printers, this demonstration presents a system which extends a physical printer to include virtual components using augmented reality (AR). With these components, we try to explain how the printer works and allow the user to operate the printer through an AR application. We extend existing software with a custom solution to create a unique user interface and user experience. Our user interface provides a new way of inspecting models in AR before they are printed.

      3D printers have become continuously more present and are a perspicuous example of how technologies are becoming more complex and ubiquitous. To some extent, the emerging technological infrastructures around them exemplify ways how digitalization will change production machines and lines, in general, in the Internet of Things (IoT). From an End-User Development perspective, the main question is how users can be supported in managing those complex digital production lines. To reach a better understanding, we carefully analyzed 3D printers as an example of highly digitalized production machines with regard to the creative activities of their users that help them to make these machines work for their practices. In our study of appropriation processes, we are concerned with situational and social aspects of the configuration and practice challenges associated with making digitalization work and how IoT technologies can support these collaborative appropriation activities of end users by making these machines more “sociable.” We therefore conceptualize the idea of “Sociable Technologies” and implement a prototype that provides hardware-integrated affordances for communicating and documenting practices of usage. Based on the findings of our evaluation, we derive lessons learnt when aiming at making complex technologies more usable.

      [BibTeX] [Abstract]

      Recently, digital fabrication technologies such as 3D printers have become more and more common at semi-or non-professional settings, such as university or private households. Such technologies show a high complexity and the close link between hardware and software in this field pose challenges for users how to operate them. With this paper we present first steps towards Sociable Technologies, a concept that encompass hardware with an integrated appropriation infrastructure, for supporting end users in using and understanding such rising 3D printing technologies.

      Over the last years, digital fabrication technologies such as 3D printers have become more and more common at universities and small businesses as well as in communities of hobbyist makers. The high complexity of such technologies, the rapid technological progress and the close link between hardware and software in this field poses challenges for users and communities learning how to operate these machines, especially in the contexts of existing (and changing) practices. We present an empirical study on the appropriation of 3D printers in two different communities and derive design implications and challenges for building appropriation infrastructures to help users face those challenges and making technologies more sociable.

Fab Labs sind Offene Werkstätten, die erklären, wie diese Tools funktionieren. Inzwischen gibt es über 2000 Fab Labs, und ihre Zahl verdoppelt sich alle zwei Jahre, seit ein MIT-Professor sie 2001 ins Leben rief. Wir erklären, wie Sie ein Fab Lab eröffnen und erfolgreich betreiben: was Sie an Platz, Geräten und Personal brauchen, wo Sie geeignete Leute finden, wie Ihr Fab Lab nutzerfreundlich und sicher wird, was Aufbau und Betrieb kosten und woher das nötige Geld kommen kann. Hochschulen sind ideal für Fab Labs, und Sie erfahren im Detail, wie sie dort funktionieren. Viele Hinweise sind aber auch für Schulen, Firmen und Vereine genauso wertvoll. Beschreibungen erfolgreicher Fab Labs und Interviews mit den Gründer*innen zeigen, was in der Praxis funktioniert. Die Website zum Buch fab101.de bietet ergänzende Informationen.
