Good evening
so i’m pierre-yves i’m fable
to manager at the UBS and open factory
good evening everyone i’m mathieu i’m
also fablab manager at the UBS and
at the open factory then the ubs and open
factory is a fab lab a workshop of
prototyping and so tonight we wanted
talk talk with you about the fact
of a transformation of a space of
prototyping to an educational tool
flexible for training
university
so we’re already saying a lot of
terms we used the word of
prototyping of fab lab the workshop of
prototyping of fab lab manager what we
will do is we will come back
gradually on all these terms and
clear it up for you here
then from what prototyping
what it’s by definition it’s
create a single object for the purpose of
test them and finally do that
back to what we all had
the opportunity to do in his life is to
to say DIY so I propose you
to go back a bit on DIY then
the term DIY
in fact the DIY it corresponds to
this everything you do outside of
your professional case and who
is to create modify and
improve or maintain an object then
we put a little catapult because
it amused us when we have a little
searched what it was that the
DIY
we realized that tinkers
that was the word used to
qualify the catapult in the Middle Ages and
to rebirth
when the catapult became obsolete
the word has changed has changed meaning and
it has become diverted means and
clever and sweet today the DIY
then a little example of DIY
we all do at home we all got
the opportunity to tinker with
tips to succeed things
good on me for example it’s me
happened to tinker the barrier in
my garden I got some boards
I bought others I have them
I am not meeting this carpenter
not really work but it works a
I’m glad I did it
satisfied again here I created a
single object that I’m testing and so with
mathieu we asked ourselves a question
when we tinker beyond the fact of
tinker what are they playing for the
handyman what’s left to him
beyond its object and there are three
aspects that they actually came out of
will tinker with these opportunities to do in
learning and learning by doing
it is an opportunity to demonstrate
creativity or to express one’s
creativity and when we tinker we have the
right to the mistake
we can be wrong and start over
object and it’s DIY it’s done
all alone but it can also be done
to many with his friends his neighbors
in associations
that’s it so to continue a little
the anecdote of my from my portal at home
well there is the other day for example
I was so
at the neighbors’ party at the meal of the
neighbors and then in the middle of the meal
around midnight he tells me that eventually ben
ali him he is a little specialist of
motors of the motorization and there we
thought maybe he can he can
help me improve my portal is
so bah finally from a portal that
was manual who walk at t1 little and
Well, we put an engine on it and
finally ben him he had other
skills that I did not have it me
learned things I taught him a little
fewer things but in any case we could
to do something that was a little
more evolved who had a little more
here are a few more aspects and then bah
if not there on the image you can see
something that is enough
representative so it’s the beavers I
do not know if you know beavers
it’s people who are put in
group
after the second world war for
rebuild buildings they are put
to several he had several
skills and so everyone brought a
little stone at the building
in this case and so that’s it at
to wait until the authorities
will have to rethink the city and it’s late
they rebuilt their homes
and so it’s an association that exists
always so it’s people who get
put in groups that have
skills and that together tinkering
in the same way with mathieu
we know then ask a question
what are they playing for
do-it-yourself group what is it
their remains beyond the time of their
creation
so as we saw right just before
well they could learn by doing and
to do by learning they could no longer
do proof work forgiveness of
creativity they had the right to
the mistake but especially and he knows how to play
of social interaction and to celebrate
the opportunity to share knowledge
skills and it’s also
the opportunity to create more projects
big more ambitious then the DIY
see pretty much everything we know
in fact all more or less we all
use a screwdriver a hammer a
drill but for some years in
does there is a movement that a train of
operate where we see people who
begin to have access to tools
computer- controlled
I am thinking in particular of 3d printers
a laser cutter
offer 2 numerically controlled and these
tools they have been found for
years in the industry but on the one hand
thanks to open source and secondly
thanks to standardization these tools
become more and more accessible
for the greatest number and this
do -it- yourself group movement
so with these tools and it has
created a movement that’s called
the movement of the best so it’s a
English word that comes straight to us
united states whose designates
makes a community of people who
prototype group and
objects so it’s more the DIY
traditional where we tinkered objects
artisanal there we just use so
computer-assisted machines
so as Pierre-Yves said
3d printers etc
others people will have gotten into
group and now rather prototype
technological objects that plays with
electronics playing with
computing and so bah we can
create like that a whole other style
of objects that a garden fence is
so an example that enough
representative of this movement but
heart so in the 70s so he
there are some steve jobs and his
buddies who in their garage have
hacked a semblance of computers into
does he die there he tries to
look at how could we
make computer accessible to everything
the world and so they hacked
the apple 2 on the principle of
the personal computer then the same
way we asked ourselves the same
question with mathieu then puts it beyond
of the makers movement
when they created for example apple
what is it that is played
for them then they could still have a
learn by doing
learner is creative
they have the right to the mistake they have
cheated they started again
all in a framework of interactions
social or could not share
skills their knowledge and
especially they were able to create projects
bigger more ambitious and
technology through access to
prototyping equipment
digital then this movement of makers
they started to regroup in
places where they started to
pool their equipment they
had acquired and these places are so
prototyping workshops that we
today calls fab labs then
fab labs which for manufacturing
lab again a word that we
see who comes straight from
united states so this is a movement that
was born in the early 2000s there
down that makes it a standardization of
all the maker’s workshops is actually
which defines a workshop we will find
DIY equipment
traditional prototyping
things so hammers of
screwdrivers etc but also suddenly these
numerically controlled machines
result of the movement meeker so we
finds a material resource but
no longer just a resource a
material resource
so we have his best who are in
these fab lab manufacturing workshops
who suddenly share their
knowledge make available
their resources and in addition to that we have
so other people from
facilitators we call fab lab
manager so who are our business has
switched on open factory so what is the
role of these people in a fab lab
so it’s both coordinating
the space to coordinate projects
to help users on points
techniques on points
methodological to propose
training on new tools and
it’s really essential that role
because ultimately it’s not because
to open a place with a certain
number of equipment we know
necessarily use them so that’s it
also the capital gain so stalled fab
lab a little history so neither the sgar
young son who comes straight from us
united states to aa has defined what is the
fab lab concept so he has to ride for
the needs of a court he had dared
mighty so mighty the massachusetts
institute of technology in boston for
a course that they had a course that
was called how to create roughly
anything they needed a
prototyping workshop there could
tinkering there we could tinker with
numerically controlled tools like
3d printers and suddenly it was
said that it would be nice to standardize
a little bit of all that so he had the idea of
define what it was a fab lab in
terms of resource tools etc
the principle is that when one manufactures
an object in a fab lab somewhere
in the world we can potentially
make the same object in another
country because precisely the machines
our resources are sensitive without so
the hands
then suddenly we see for fifteen
years of diffusion of fab labs through
the world
so in the early 2000s the
first fablab in boston as comes from
say it mathieu and then in 2009
here is 2012 we see a progression
2015-2017 until we arrive at
today at 511 fablab referenced
such as near the hem to Haiti to
boston so after fab lab it’s a
very very good tool for prototype and
in a group but there are several
kinds
there are fab labs that are used for
associative purposes for for example of
popular education
there are fab labs that serve for the
companies to precisely stimulate the
creativity of the employees of a
company there are fables that are
implemented in schools there are
fab lab that are implanted in the
universities and suddenly there on a few
pictures we illustrate some fables that
so exist there on the screen we have the
fab lab de toulouse who is an architect
the first fablab in France
So here in this fablab are
people who come prototype and he
prototype also with
companies because there is airbus that
is not too far to Toulouse and so
who is also involved in the fab lab
so it’s very interesting for
bars we have another type of fab lab so
this time in barcelona called the
green fablab lula they go rather
work on related projects
with the ecological transition
energy and we have the first fruits of
fab university lab that appear
here at viola university in finland
where they mixed a faculty of
science with a school of economics
with a design school and suddenly there
we start to see how fab lab
finally can serve as a tool
teaching and creating projects
transdisciplinary
so with mathieu we did another
the same exercise
what are they playing for the lakers
the do-it-yourselfers who come in the fab
lab started to understand the purpose
they learned by doing they did
when they learned they showed
creativity
they could be wrong start all over again
that in social interaction for
share the skills the
knowledge with more projects
bigger more ambitious thanks to access
prototyping equipment
digital and this in a place open to
all the fab lab framed by
facilitators so the fables manager
the fab lab manager who has them
oriented towards the use of
equipment training equipment
and give them input on the
managing the orientation of their projects
So in 2015 we thought it was
would not be bad to be able to put such a
place available to students of
the university of brest and was created
the lab fab of the university of brest him
bo open factory it was created in
partnership with the art school of
brest is the fab lab we define it
as an open innovation workshop
multidisciplinary workshop since so
it’s a prototyping workshop with the
equipment that was named everything to their
3d printer laser cutter by
open example since it is open to
all students at the university
it is open to teachers and
administrative staff of the university
of innovation since we will be interested
in priority to projects
bound to the city of tomorrow so the
ecological transition the transition
energetic the digital transition
we will be interested in
issues related to disability or
still in the equipment manufacturing
for fab lab and multidisciplinary
since it’s going to be an opportunity on a
same project to see meet
different curriculum students have
students who come I do not know
of electronic mechanics of
biology of history geography
saving staps of all types
of students so it’s true that it’s
not a tale space to fluently
used to see in universities
where it’s pretty compartmentalized by
discipline there it’s really a
opportunity to propose this kind
workshop sefa blabla for
students for that when they have a
idea they can quickly go to
of prototyping testing their ideas
so that’s at the machine level
after at the level of animation it’s
important to be able to do projects
to take advantage of this abla fable of this
open workshop to precisely mix the
skills of people as you have
said devices that come from college
science but also from college of letters
economy college it’s true we have it
to share these disciplines like that one
saw that it was very rewarding and the
also the role of the open factory is to
make a connection with the middle
socio-economic meaning that on
most of the projects we are working on
at the open factory we try to connect
a professional which will allow to
to make credible the projects on which
students are working and so for
students to know a lot
more quickly we hope the medium
socioeconomic
so that’s the team of
women managers of the UBS and open factory
so we’re eight and we wanted to put
this picture because it’s interesting
because we come we have skills
completely different but
Additional
we will find the electronics of
mechatronic throne mechatronic
biophysicist of computer scientists
designers multimedia experts or
people in science of
education
so here we wanted to introduce you
some projects that take place
currently as we speak to
the ubs and open factory is here
it is the project, therefore, which is animated by
time hermes guy who are both
in second year of license and so
he works with professionals
with
the soul moral dance company to
the interactivity of dance performances
and so here they are doing
designing an interactive lamp a
little pixelated and who is stopped in this
moment it’s live in fact and is from
not for them it’s very
interesting because they can
really approach the issues
of the professional to confront the
reality of things to things that
walk things that do not work and for
second year students
license is a big plus the second
project this is the project green pile of
energy recovery by the
plants
this is it so that’s a
project or in fact we try to see
how is it possible to
recover the electrical energy with
plants in a context of walls
vegetated where we can imagine
ability to make public lighting
outside of the signage so there
it is typically a project
multidisciplinary with people
that come both from electronics
of mechanical chemistry biology
computer and so we see very
well and design is going very well
that this kind of project and if there ben
had no fab lab if no places
like that to focus all the
ideas it would be hard to emerge
like that naturally one last
project that we can present the project
kraken yes so the kraken project that
is a project that has been piloted by
corentin at the end of the year of master
design and sophie in master’s degree
biology who so worry about what
what we could do with the waste
of fish and in particular the skin of
fish
so they had the idea to look
how could we put
point a skin tanning system
way to make leather and a
garment here is a very pretty
fish skin coat and so that
it is also a group
multidisciplinary who won a prize
last year an innovation award
so student of the popular bank
from the west so to 5000 euros and the
blow today by potentially
green of entrepreneurship so that too
thanks to the fact that they had to
provision a prototyping workshop
to test their ideas and power
that’s what confronted
real problems to conclude
so here is today in a
university trying to look for
decompartmentalize to bring closer
disciplines to ensure that
socio-economic world of the worlds
students the world of research get
group together is found so we created
the ubs and open factory since it is a
available to teachers and
students or students can
learn by doing and doing
learner they can develop their
creativity
they have the right to be wrong in right to
the mistake they have right must start again
it’s a place where there will be their
social interactions and we hope a
sharing of knowledge
skills where they will be able to
concretize ideas they have in
head to create larger objects
with thanks to an access of
digital prototyping equipment
it is a place open to all where it will be
framed by fab lab manager and it’s in
that we position ourselves today
as a new educational tool
flexible for university training
thanks thanks
[Applause]
