Stuff kwartzlab needs

The three core elements of kwartzlab are people, projects, tools. We've established the first two and now we are working hard to build out our capabilities through tool acquisition. Our plan is to equip the space with sufficient tools and materials so that we can go from idea to prototype in a matter of hours. Below is a non-exhaustive list of tools on our capabilities roadmap that directly support rapid prototyping. If you would like to accelerate our progress through donations of tools, materials, or money, please contact Darin White (dw@kwartzlab.ca)

As of 2009-10-05:

Tools

Big Ticket Rapid Prototyping Tools

• laser cutter
• PCB mill
• CNC router (e.g. ShopBot or equivalent)

Workhorse Tools

• drill press
• band saw

Electronics Tools

• surface mount solder station (e.g. Weller WD1)
• hot air rework station
• oscilloscope
• logic analyzer
• function generator

Textiles

• industrial sewing machine

Materials

Fabrication Materials (consisting of end-cuts, end-of-run, not-quite-spec)

• aluminum (angle, bar, tube, channel, plate - it's all useful and easy to work)
• plastics (acrylic sheet and rod, as well as machinable plastics like Delrin)

Fasteners

• machine screws, nuts, washers

Electronic Components

• microcontrollers
• digital/analog IC's (inverters, MUX, op-amps, h-bridges, etc)
• discrete FET and bipolar transistors
• passives (resistors, capacitors, inductors)

Facility

• 40 folding chairs for speaking events

Audio/Visual

• digital projector
• flatscreen LCD TV/display
• wireless microphones and sound gear for recording speaking events
• digital video camera

IT

• Asterisk box + 2 VOIP handsets
