No Fab Lab? No problem!





The ‘CNC by the Sea’ - a CNC machine which draws images in the sand sent from different locations via a remote control.

The ‘CNC by the Sea’ was set up by the research team at Fab Lab Barcelona for the students to access the machines remotely so that students can continue their hands-on projects remotely. The machine consists of a 3-axis machine modified to draw in a sandbox, in which students could input any design from their homes and view the designs being drawn via two webcam streams (webcam 1, webcam 2). You can see the images of the designs here.

"We intended to make a collective project with our students remotely, called the ‘CNC by the Sea.’ Students can make a drawing on the sand with a CNC and see the Livestream for 24 hours after. So far, the students have been managing the machine completely on their own and collaboratively taking care of it." Eduardo Chamorro, Fab Lab Barcelona.
