Excited to be part of the @carnegiemellon Information Systems Community Partner this year. We are working with CMU IS students on a semester-long project helping our nonprofit develop custom software to assist with our operations. We are really excited to bring more technology resources to our border community. #FabLabEP #ElPasoMakerspace #CarnegieMellonUniversity

One of the most common uses of makerspace tools and technologies is to help create custom parts and components that might be rare or out of production. In this fabrication project, our engineers recreated a Lincoln Blackwood tail light using 3D scanning and 3D printing. What can we help you fix? #FabLabEP #ElPasoMakerspace

Had a fantastic time kicking off the first of four Virtual Reality: Future Cities 2121 workshop with University of Texas at El Paso ASPIRE, Yes She Can!, and Upward Bound program. Big thank you to our amazing, dedicated, and talented STEM Instructors, Michael Nelson and Leslie Daniela Sosa for inspiring students to engage in technology creatively. #FabLabEP #ElPasoMakerspace #UTEP

We had a great time piloting our guided virtual Makerspace Tour yesterday with students from @hernandomiddleschool_ . Big thank you to David Figueroa of @augmentelpaso for designing and building the 360° tour. We have such talented Board of Directors who are devoted to the mission of advancing technological access in the borderland. #FabLabEP #ElPasoMakerspa

As 3D Printing revolutionizes the way we prototype or develop products, this technology is now accessible in a way that everyone can have and operate a 3D Printer. The limitations of what can you achieve relies on how you use it and your creativity. If you want to make most of this technology, an understanding of this topic is necessary. In this workshop, you will learn everything you need to understand your machine, how to operate it successfully and get you going so you can develop further your 3D Printing skills.

In this workshop, we will be exploring Cartesian, Delta, Core XY, and Mill Belt 3D Printers which includes most desktop consumer 3D printers available on the market today.

Workshop will be led by Alejandro Silva Au and Adam Boyea, 3D Fabrication Engineers at Fab Lab. Adam graduated from with degree in Mechanical Engineer and Alejandro is currently finishing up his Masters in Mechanical Engineering at University of Texas at El Paso.

We will be covering the following topics in this workshop.
- How an FDM 3D Printer works
- Anatomy of a 3D Printer
- Materials that can be used and what environmental conditions matter
- Understanding accuracy and limitations
- Direct vs Bowden Extruder
- Slicing
- What is a Slicer
- Slicer options
- How to use a Slicer
- Most important Slicer settings
- From Slicing to Printing
- Safety measures
- What to 3D Print?

We started our first round of check-ins with students participating in the Make:able Assistive Device Challenge. Very impressed with the level of creativity and the motivation to help others. Can't wait to help them turn their ideas into prototypes and finally into products. #FabLabEP #ElPasoMakerspace

Group photo from our Make:able Challenge- Assembly

Group photo from our Make:able Challenge- Assembly and Presentation workshop, the last of eight workshops to prepare students for prosthesis and assistive device projects. Thank you to our Lead STEM Instructor, Michael Nelson and to all of our participating teams. Special thank you to Wendy Sandoval who helped to inspire with her own prosthesis design and engineering journey. Thank you to El Paso Community Foundation for making these free workshops possible for our students. We will check in with everyone next week to help with final development and submission to Make:able, PrintLab's assistive device challenge. #FabLabEP #ElPasoMakerspace #MakeableChallenge

Unleash your imagination with creative collaborati

Unleash your imagination with creative collaborations like this one between Fab Lab and @epmuseumofhistory on the upcoming "Low & Slow: Lowrider Culture on the Border" exhibit. We created a custom 3D printed lowrider kit for hands-on learning about hydraulics mechanisms. This intersection of STEM, art, and culture is what makes our border city such a special place to live, learn, and grow. Email us at info@fablabelpaso.org with your custom fabrication idea! #FablabEP #ElPasoMakerspace

The #ImagineElPaso campaign is a collaboration between cultural organizations in El Paso to stand together and remain seen as places of education, inspiration and community whether our doors are open or closed during the Coronavirus pandemic. Visit epcf.org/imagineEP to learn more.

We’ve been quiet the last few weeks but that doesn’t mean we havn’t been super busy! Two big projects are in the wrap up phases and we are dying to share process shots with you, stay tuned for more!! #fablabep #elpasomakerspace #3dprinting #postproscessing #slaprinting #architecturemodelmaking #makersgonnamake

Join us this afternoon @5pm(mst) for a discussion with @makemagazine , @fablabjrz , Dr. Oge Alozie of Del Sol Medical Center, and the Medical Center of the Americas Foundation. (Link in Bio)
We will discuss our regional response to the pandemic, and the future of programs like the “Nurse to Innovator Project” that will link local makers and innovators with medical professionals to cross pollinate skills, while building a pipeline for Black, Indigenous, & Poc frontline health care workers to harness their often ignored day-to-day experiences and creative potential. #fablabep #elpasomakerspace #makersmakingchange #fablabnetwork #cuidadjuarez #fablabjuárez #makemagazine #imagineelpaso #imagineep #makecommunity
