Two Mobile Fablabs for Ukraine
Fig. 7 Tons Mobile Fablab for Ukraine
July - September 2022
We designed and built two mobile fablabs for Ukraine. The design is modular so that we can easily adapt to future needs by plugging and unplugging furniture. During the early development phase, I assisted two architects named Daniel and Fabio in brainstorming and measuring the dimensions, as well as designing the 3D CAD models of the two trucks.

I use an app called "ScandyPro" on my phone to scan the wall of the 3.5 ton truck and obtain its curve. This curve is later used to design the structure of the poles for the furniture. Throughout the design process, I always consider how I can assemble my parts into the truck with ease. I think about the reasons behind cutting certain parts and how to properly assemble them.

This mobile fablab is also equipped with a 220V AC power supply to run all of the fablab machines. The battery can be charged using the car engine, a household plug, or the solar panel.
