[15.03.2019] XINFAB NEW RULES

Hello makers!

As you know by now XinFab will reopen and things are going to be a bit different from now on.

We will be running XinFab entirely by volunteers, this means there is no employee to open every day or be at your disposition. So, when coming to XinFab, we ask you to take care of the space, the machines, of yourself and also to contribute by helping each other and the space.

Here’s how it’s going to work for now (some things remain as before):

1_OPENING HOURS: XinFab will open only when volunteers are at the lab (this is mostly for your safety), and being only two volunteers right now, we will be opening to the members twice every week. Open on fixed days (for example Friday and Saturday) or if you get a 6-12 month membership you will get a key to the space.

2_TAKING CARE OF THE LAB: When you come to the Lab, leave the space as you found it before (organized), clean your mess and leave the tools in place. And we hope you know this already, but if you break anything you must either repair it yourself or buy the parts/equipment you broke.

3_USING THE EQUIPMENT: If you don’t know how to use a machine, come to a training workshop after that you can come and use the equipment by yourself.

4_THIS IS A DIY SPACE! When a volunteer is at the lab it doesn’t mean we are going to be behind you, we are here to make sure you don't set things on fire but remember this is a DIY space, so things are your own responsibility.

5_VOLUNTEERS, if you want to become one start by being active! contact us, tell us how you can help and make it happen! we need your help!

6_OPEN NIGHTS, we will hold them once every month or so. This night will not only be for people to come by, have a drink and take a look at the space, no! this night is also a moment for you to be active and help us either by fixing something, arranging the space, organizing events or whatever the space needs.

7_UPCOMING! SPECIAL PRICE FOR TRAINING: The next two months we will offer very low-cost training (30rmb/hour) so that you learn the basics on how to use the laser cutting machine, the 3D printers, and the power tools we have at XinFab. The idea of these workshops is that you learn how to use the machines so that then you can come and use the equipment by yourself, and/or help us to teach other members.

8_MEMBERSHIP PRICES,
_50rmb DAILY PASS now you can come for a single day for 50rmb which includes 3 hours of laser cutting usage or you can use it as credits for 3D printing*. You also have access to the power tools and hand tools we have at the space.
_180rmb limited monthly credits* same deal as before, 180rmb=180credits that can be used either for 3D printing or Laser cutting machines.
_800rmb a month of unlimited access to the lab (24/7) to all the equipment (is mandatory that you take all the training courses for each machine)
_2000rmb half year unlimited access to the lab (24/7) to all the equipment (is mandatory that you take all the training courses for each machine)
*Laser cutting usage 1hour=35rmb (DIY)
*3D printing usage 1gram=2rmb (DIY)

If up until now you are feeling that there are too many rules or there are things that don't work out for you, then come to help us so that the list shortens and we make this Lab alive once again.

This is a nonprofit space that offers you the possibility to come and use machines to help you with your projects coming to life...give back the same life to XinFab by taking care of it and by contributing.

And last but not least, being part of this community means that you will also have the right to participate in the democratic decision-making of the lab.

Hope to see you soon, and thank you!
XinFab volunteers team

[14.02.2019] WE ARE BACK!

XinFab will re-open!

They say cats have 7 lives... we don't know about that but we are sure that XinFab has more than one.

If we count the lives we've used so far this would be the fourth one! so let's hope we don't have to use the other 3 lives any time soon...

Thanks to the support and great generosity KCLabs we've managed to survive once again!.

Not only we are going to REOPEN, but we are STAYING AT THE SAME LOCATION: Jing An District, Wuding Xi Road #1288, Room 302. With the only difference that our space will be a bit smaller than before so the Lab and its management will be rethought.

We have a big big heart but very limited resources, and although KCLabs is supporting us with the location, we are still struggling with fundings. It is being complicated to cover many costs, including the management of the Lab. So we will need as much support FROM YOU THE COMMUNITY as possible to keep running the space.

You are more than invited to participate and help us out.

We will update you soon, but be sure we are reopening during the month of February!

And as always, volunteers, help, support, and sponsors are more than welcome, just get in touch with us!

Thanks in advance!

[12.01.2019] THANK YOU 谢谢你们

Dear makers and friends,

As you all know, lately the road has not been easy for Xinfab. The past year was rough but we had the great luck to find a space who opened their doors for us and helped us hosting our lab for the past months. During this time we made incredible progress: growing number and diversity of activities, new and talented volunteers, adding many new friends and members of our community. Unfortunately, we were warned by our landlords during the end of the past month that they can no longer host us, as they need the space back. So it is with a heavy heart that we have to officially announce we will be closing our Lab at the end of January 2019.

We would like to give the biggest thank to everyone who has supported and believed in XinFab since its creation, and to all our community and volunteers who have helped us to keep running our space.

On a separate note, we would like to ask a last favour: we are open to the possibility of any company/particular sponsoring and hosting our lab and/or for any contributions for the logistics of the closure, so please get in touch with us.

And most importantly to all the creatives out there, never stop making and sharing.

The Xinfab Team

During this meetup, we’ll have a roundtable discussion with design thinkers Alex Smith and Coco Yu from Wiredcraft about Design Thinking and what impact, if any, it can have on our lives. This conversation is open to anyone! We welcome creatives, designers, business people, students, and curious individuals who are interested in learning more! Through our discussion we’ll try to touch on questions such as:

-What is Design Thinking?
-How does Design Thinking relate to Human Centered Design and/or User Centered Design?
-What organizations are using Design Thinking?
-What are our personal experiences with Design Thinking?
-What are the benefits of a Design centered mindset?

- 我们的设计思考有什么个人经验？
- 以设计为中心的思维有什么好处？

***Workshop in English only***

When: September 11 to September 23 (2 weeks), 3 sessions/week (Mon & Wed from 6pm to 9pm / Sat from 10am to 4pm)
Where: Xinfab - Kangding East Rd, Lane 45, Building no.5, Room 102, Jing'an District
Price: Special inauguration price 2000 RMB (Wechat 2010 RMB)

You have asked for it, now here it is!

After many people who joined our intro workshops asked for a more in-depth, intensive course on Illustrator, our favorite and most talented designer Pamela Martello is going to take you through this amazing tool from start to finish. She'll share with you her knowledge and tricks of 9 years of experience with Illustrator.

In this intensive workshop, you will start by getting familiarized with Illustrator, gradually move on to learning how to use its main tools and features, and then get a 2-dimensional design of your own to the finish line. In addition to Illustrator, you will also learn how to integrate your newly acquired vector design skills with Xinfab’s laser cutter and bring an object to life. Finally, if time and everybody’s pace allows, we’ll also give you an introduction to Photoshop. No previous knowledge is required!

Adobe Illustrator is the design industry’s standard for creating vector graphics. With it, you can design posters, banners, logos, websites – in sum, you can illustrate anything you want! By combining it with the laser cutter, you can also create 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional objects – the only limit is your imagination!

Your dedication is key. We invite you to practice after the lessons with some homework and maximize your takeaway from the course.

Price includes:
// One month Xinfab Membership for you to DIY! (180 RMB worth of credits for machine usage within a month); Material for prototyping

Things you should bring:
// Your laptop and charger
// Mouse (this workshop can’t be followed without a mouse)
// Install Illustrator CC in your laptop (http://www.adobe.com/illustrator)
// *Optional: Install Adobe Photoshop
// Your passion, curiosity, and questions

Some sample images of what you'll learn to do (Pamela made these in only a few hours!)

ABOUT THE TEACHERS

Pamela Martello is a Mexican jewelry designer who has been creating original and stylish 3D and 2D designs for the past 9 years. Jewelry is Pamela's true love, but she has a decade-long love affair with graphic design and Illustrator, with which she complements her jewelry creations.

Pamela is a graduate from the European Institute of Design (IED) in Rome, Italy. She entered the IED through the big door, by winning a design competition and being awarded a scholarship. Upon graduating in jewelry design, Pamela took a graphic design specialization, also at the IED. In her career, Pamela has won multiple jewelry and graphic design awards, including an artwork design award for American Express. Pamela has been creating jewelry in Shanghai for the past 4 years.

Last year, Pamela discovered Xinfab and immediately joined our core team as a volunteer. She loves the laser and the 3D printers and is always experimenting in other fields related to design, where she finds inspiration for her creations. She has also taught many workshops with us. For Pamela, travelling, exploring, and living in different places offers a constant stream of stimulus for new ideas (plus a little fantasy too).

Jade Young is a Brazilian communicator and Xinfab's space manager. Before joining Xinfab, Jade worked in communication for the United Nations (International Labour Organization) and the International Committee of the Red Cross, in Geneva, Switzerland. She created posters and graphics for both organizations during her experience with them. She then complemented her education and experience in International Relations with a Master's in Advertising Design and Communication at the Barcelona School of Design and Engineering, in Barcelona, Spain.

While humanitarian values and non-profit philosophy are her credo, creating is her passion. Jade has loved to draw from a very early age and has been playing with the Adobe suite for over a decade. She has also been into tech since she got her first computer way back in 1998 and has been playing with web coding ever since.

***Jade will assist Pamela during the workhsop and will also make sure nobody accidentaly burns down the lab in the process! ;)
