What is a Hackerspace?

Clue: not a place for this

Hacking and Making

Make:form (something) by putting parts together or combining substances; construct;Hack: make or modify something roughly and/or quicklyHackerspace/Makerspace: place where people make or hack stuff

In GenevaGeneva-based hackerspace “Post Tenebras Lab” was officially created in 2009 at its constitutive general assembly. Our objectives:

Create an open community of hackers, artists, and open source/hardware enthusiasts to create, share, learn, and collaborate. Help spread knowledge to the larger community, especially in the areas of technology, DIY, security, and privacy. Provide a space for creating, collaborations, workshops, and classes. Provide resources (hardware, tools, materials, access, knowledge) to members and the community.

Assist other groups that share similar objectives. Seek to enable others, and others' projects; to help break down barriers; and to avoid erecting barriers

Open Source Hardware

ArduinoArduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or enviroments

Raspberry PiThe Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard.It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. We want to see it being used by kids all over the world to learn programming.

Electronics & Software

Breadboards, ComponentsResistors, LEDs etc

Soldering StationsLaptops with LinuxPreloaded with Arduino devlopment environment

Arduino boards

3D PrintersDownload objects and print them outDesign new objects and print them outVariable precision / repeatability

Filaments in ABS and PLASoon: Plastic Recycling

No wasted material

Laser Cutter

Engraving & CuttingVery precise (laser focus)Engrave woodCut Paper, Cloth, thin plasticCut wood to ~5mmVery square cuts

3 axis CNC

Engraving, cutting & millingVery precise ~10 micronsVery repeatableEngrave: wood metal, glass, PCBsCut & Mill: wood, aluminium, metals, stoneRotating tool, so round cuts

Digital Fabrication

Idea -> CAD -> 2D or 3D Model

2D Model -> Lasercutter or CNC3D Model -> 3D Printer or CNC

In a short time, you go from an idea in your head to your idea in your hand!
