General information about Fab Labs

  • consumables for each machine

Are there suppliers for the materials Yes there are local suppliers.

  • Shopbot: Normally plywood, wood, plastics, locally, bits
  • Epilog laser: Recycled cardboard, acrylics (Plexiglas), -> locally, used cardboard from packaging under soda bottles, acrylics locally

Consumption method (approximated numbers per user or group)

  • Up 3D printer: ABS plastics -> per gram
  • Roland Modela: Either Circuit board or model wax, not locally yet, -> per piece http://www.machinablewax.com, http://www.globallaminates.com/
  • Roland GX-24 Vinyl cutter: Vinyl and transferring tape: -> per meter
  • Shopbot: Normally plywood, wood, plastics, locally, -> per square meter
