Our team

Founder
The Fablab BeiJing lab was created by Eric Ma and Albert Liu. Eric Ma was a Maker, Senior Education Expert, National Professional Tutor, who was invited to many Fab Lab’s activities and meetings, including the Fab Lab 2016 Shenzhen. Eric led the team to invent a lot of interesting products, including creative light, smart casual shooting device, Trojans, sailing, storage box, and incense box and so on. In the future, Eric will lead the team to design Fab Lab courses, including Fablab BeiJing Basic、STEAM Struts、Model、A.

We have a creative and spirit sharing team, everyone is a learner, a maker and a sharer. Each person is out of the ordinary, but attracts each other. Our team consists of the Makers and Operations. Eric Ma, Sean, Connor are makers, who are mainly responsible for creating products and curriculum development. Albert Liu is the operations managers。

Our Lab and machines
Our laboratory area is close to 100 square meters, and the whole lab is mainly divided into 3 separate spaces. They are Free space, Gray space, and Precision manufacturing space. The Free space about 60 square meters, Gray space about 20 square meters, Precision manufacturing space about 10 square meters.

We have 9 types of consumer equipment and 2 purification systems, including 3D scanner, printer, two parallel arm 3D printer, two double 3D printer, 3D printing pen, laser cutting machine, printing machine, cutting machine, desktop CNC ,CNC milling machine, dust collecting filter, gas purification and filtration system. We also have Lenovo notebooks, Dell servers, work tables, mobile projectors, white boards and blackboards.

What we do with Free Space, Gray Space, Precision manufacturing?

The Free Space is used to place Lenovo notebooks, work tables, mobile projectors, white boards and blackboards, where students or makers can use notebooks, take notes and discuss exchanges. The teacher uses the projector to display PPT or wonderful movies, animations, and ideas. Whiteboard and blackboard facilitate the teacher's timely marking of the core of creativity, and show to students.

The Precision manufacturing area is used to place 3D scanners, parallel arm 3D printers, two axis 3D printers, two axis dual head 3D printers, and 3D print pens. We have 6 3D ordinary printers and a parallel arm 3D printer. We can print the 3D model quickly .We use these machines to create a lot of interesting models, such as real models, simulated hearts.

The three spaces are independent and combined with each other.

The Fablab BeiJing laboratory has a variety of practical and innovative activities. Many activities will open the mysterious gate of the laboratory for you, such as Open Days, Digital Manufacturing, and Teaching Research and so on.
