FAB 5 CONFERENCE 16 - 22 August 2009 College of Engineering, PUNE Fabrication Laboratory
Outline • • South African Fab. Labs Latest Development Hub Fab. Lab – Lindi Kimberly Fab. Lab – Thato Soshanguve Fab. Lab – Khutso/Bongani Potchefstroom Fab. Lab – Pieter Cape Town Fab. Lab – Pieter Bloemfontein Fab. Lab – Deon
Fab. Lab New Strategy • Outcomes of the 2007 internal review indicted that even though the Fab. Labs have existent for a short time, they have demonstrated value. • However, there are some fundamental issues which were raised ito purpose, function & position within broader system of innovation – the number of learners with the basic science, maths & language skills required for engineering is small – of those with the basic skills, few are entering engineering programmes of study • As such, the review highlighted a need to define more clearly the role & purpose of Fab. Labs in short-medium term
Fab. Lab New Strategy • To create a ‘technology buzz’, by: – Generating excitement & enthusiasm for SET endeavours amongst learners, especially in marginalised communities, through: • Developing technology based programmes by providing resources to participate in specialised training programmes • Developing technology based skills at various levels that will enable participants to engage in technology based occupations appropriate to their capabilities
Engineering Stars Programme (ESP) • Proposed model based on – multi-level programme in which participants move from one level to the next – At each level there will be a ‘filtering’ process to identify the best and brightest (in terms of ability and performance) to move to the next level – The pinnacle of the process will be an opportunity for the top achievers (the Engineering Stars) to take part in or be exposed to high profile events or enterprises: • • Automotive Space Aeronautical Bio. Tech Nano. Tech Energy Others
Engineering Stars Programme (ESP) Part of Pilot- Advocacy, Course framework & events Formula One Advocacy Generic course framework Events ( Fab. Labs) Space Advocacy Generic course framework Events ( Fab. Labs) Olympiads - Computer - Science - Technology - Other Competitions - Science Expo - F 1 in Schools - 4 x 4 Challenges - Formula Student - Other Competitions - Science Expo - Other Community Schools Universities Mobile Fab Lab Fab. Lab The point of departure for ESP are the existing Fab. Labs in the country
ESP Framework Model
Hub Fab. Lab Foundation v The Role & Functions Ø Knowledge Management v Inventory management v Operational data capture (i. e. F. L. I. M. S) v Website Ø Equipment Benchmarking Ø Links between local and global Fab. Labs community Ø Attracting Funding (e. g. NGO’s, TIA, SOE’s) Ø Links with other DST initiatives (e. g. Science Centres, Yi. SS, TIA) Ø Rolling-out & setting up of new Fab. Labs Ø Establishing & piloting First S. A Mobile Fab. Lab Unit
Mobile Fab. Lab • To provide tools for STEM education (Empowerment) to marginalised communities • To provide teacher & learner/ inventor support in marginalised communities (bridging the digital divide) • To provide an infrastructure to foster an innovative society • To equip learners with tools/resources to participate in the national SET Olympiads & Competitions
Mobile Fab. Lab • Directive for Hub Fab. Lab to develop a mobile unit • Survey/ Study – US Mobile Fab. Lab unit + associated publication(s) – Various design platforms • Truck / Lorry • Bus • Trailer • Other (train) • Proposal (within budget) Pros & Cons i. t. o cost & practicalities
Mobile Fab. Lab v Process followed • Trailer option selected • Design layout Ø Selection of equipment to use Ø Placement of equipment Ø Equipment usage practicalities (i. e. Access of equipment- in or out of the trailer) • Outsource the manufacturing of the trailer Ø Identified possible manufacturer (Absolute Ablutions) • Bakkie/Van/ 4 X 4 identification/ selection Ø Ø Ø Brand (e. g. Toyota, Nissan, Mazda etc. ) New or second hand (pros & cons) Diesel or Petrol Single or double cab Buy or lease (rent-a-bakkie)
Mobile Fab. Lab • Trailer CAD files User’s Platform Personnel Platform
Mobile Fab. Lab v Progress thus far & Way forward • Finalised design • Trailer Manufacturing Ø Courier equipment to manufacturer for fitting • Delivery date end October (ideally) Ø with equipment bolted down • Graffiti designing Ø Involve Graphic art design students (e. g. UP, UJ, TUT, UNISA) • Pilot in accordance with new Fab. Lab strategy • Replicate in line with Fab. Lab strategy
