Make a customised clock at Deusto FabLab

In this workshop we will teach you how to use the laser cutting and engraving technology to make a unique wall clock, with a custom design made by each participant. To do this, we will explain the basic tools of Adobe Illustrator design programme, which will allow you to create or adapt a vector design, which will be then cut and/or engraved on wood and methacrylate. (You can create an idea from scratch, or use one of the templates previously prepared by us, modify and customise them). We will also see the necessary steps to take into account to manufacture with this technology. We will also explain how to operate the laser cutter, the types of work you can do (full or partial cut and engraving), and the materials used. We will also talk about the virtues of technology (accuracy, detail, speed, reproduction, etc.) and how this increases the range of possibilities in a design process. As we manufacture, each participant will assemble the structure cut with the clockwork mechanism.
