makersCAFE Opens in East London - Drink Coffee, 3D Print, Laser Scan, Chat and Learn
Whenever a new technology begins to enter the mainstream, the general public naturally takes an interest in it. In the past year or two, the amount of media coverage surrounding 3D printing has sky rocketed, all the while, the majority of individuals have very little idea about how 3D printing actually works.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was a place in town where one could go, and see an actual 3D printer in action, touch it, and even use it to print something out? Well, a man named Soner Ozenc thought so too, and thus has opened London’s first Makers Cafe. Located in the Shoreditch area of east London, the Cafe opened its doors just two days ago.
According to the company, “Makers Cafe is a space for makers, wonderers, tinkerers, the designers and creatives in general. For those of us who need our caffeine while cultivating these fragile ideas.”
The idea for such a venue has been around for a while now. In fact, there are similar cafes located in Germany, Spain, and China. Ozenc takes many of the ideas from these cafes and incorporates his own touch. Being the founder of RazorLab, an online design studio which allowed users to upload their own designs and have the company etch or laser cut them for a fee, Oznc certainly isn’t foreign to the design services industry.

The premise behind his new cafe is simple. Those wishing to use the computer aided technologies such as 3D printers or laser cutters, whether it’s their first time, or they are ‘pros’, they can come in, and pay a fee of £1 per minute ($1.66) to rent time on the cafe’s machines. Perhaps some people just want to come and watch the machines in action while enjoying a barista style coffee and chatting it up with friends or colleagues, while small businesses could use the venue as a sort of self-serve three-dimensional print shop.
Have you ever been to a coffee shop, chatting it up with friends, when an amazing idea popped up? At makersCAFE, that idea may actually be able to become a reality through the use of their machines.
“Customers will have a chance to see the actual machines and the idea is they will come with their ideas and will witness their ideas becoming physical objects,” Ozenc told the IBTimes UK.
That’s not all though. Ozenc plans on having all sorts of interactive social gatherings at his cafe, which include workshops, guest speakers, and even parties.
“In the daytime, people can come in to have their items laser-cut or 3D-printed, but after 6pm, makersCAFE will be running workshops, talks and parties to make digital manufacturing more accessible to the public,” Ozenc added. från: https://3dprint.com/12741/makerscafe-london/
FabCafe, a Collaborative 3D Vision For Coffee Shops
← USE ARROWS KEYS →
Enter Starbucks on a weekday morning, and it'll likely be filed with Work From Home warriors, emailing, freelancing, and PowerPointing between latte sips. Free, reliable WiFi is a tech-savvy worker necessity, but for those with more tactile creative pursuits, the traditional coffee shop scene isn't conducive to, say, creating a line of wallets to sell on Etsy or experimenting with the latest in 3D printing technology. Specific needs like these are what caused Tim Wong to open FabCafe in the Shibuya neighborhood of Tokyo, as he told us at this year's SXSW Interactive.
Alongside the usual cafe fare like caffeinated drinks and small bites is the heart of Tim's vision, a studio where local designers can rent use of a laser printer to cut from Adobe Illustration files for about $20 per 30 minutes. Rather than going the way of a Kinko's where people come in to use the machines and leave in a hurry, FabCafe draws the local design community with artist lectures and workshops.
The workshops are when the six 3D printers are put to use, since the cost of the materials and machines makes regular renting of them less than feasible. Look for more FabCafe locations to open in Taipei and Barcelona this year. Take a look at some of the cafe's work, and tell us: what would you do at FabCafe if you had the chance?
What Berlin needs to foster innovation: First 3D printing café opens its doors ;
There's no shortage of cafes in Berlin. But for those with more tactile creative pursuits, the traditional coffee shop scene isn't conducive to experimenting with the latest in technology. Specific needs like these are what caused Norma Barr and Amin Torabi to openDimensionAlley3D printing Cafe in the heart of Berlin in December 2013.
As Berlin's first 3D printing café, the DimensionAlley in Prenzlauerberg's Bötzowviertel offers expert service and support for 3D printing as well as great food and drinks. Customers can bring in their design files ready for printing or seek advice on how to turn a sketch or an idea into something amazing.
"It is captivating, watching an object that you have designed materialise, layer-by-layer, before your eyes," said Norma Barr, co-founder.
"A lot of people tell us that at first they didn't see how this new technology might help their work or life, but once they see 3D printing in action, they're hooked and want to come up with new projects!"
Barr said DimensionAlley works together with the "Design Factory 3D" and has helped professionals create a range of new and innovative products. These include printing medical models from CT scans of patients' ankles and shoulders to help determine the best options for surgery, to prototype products for interior design and early years learning.
Along with 3D printing services DimensionAlley also brings 3D printing to local schools, starting with workshops and class trips and later supporting teachers introducing 3D printing as a course element. For kindergartens we offer a model printing workshop.
"We recently hosted a group of pre-schoolers who were just amazed at 3D printing," said Barr. "Their teacher had selected and scaled designs for model dinosaurs, horses, pendants and keychains to print. The children were totally absorbed with watching the printers create the models. It really shows how easy and fun 3D printing can be."
DimensionAlley also offers 3D scanning to make "Mini-Me" 3D replica busts on the spot. The studio will use 3D scanner and processing software to create a digital model of you and then 3D print it out, as a mini figure, from 3-10cm, half body bust.
"The Mini-Me scan busts are really popular for gifts, and they're unique of course," said Barr. Along with custom items, DimensionAlley sells pre-printed models. Multi-coloured orchid watering cans are particularly popular.
DimensionAlley have a MakerBot Replicator, a Makerbot Replicator 2, a Ultimake 2 and a 3D scanner run in the café area so it's possible to order a print and follow its progress whilst enjoying great coffee, real English tea, delicious pies, Cornish pasties, cream teas or cakes.
DimensionAlley is a family run business with the founders bringing a taste of England to the whole process. Both founders have a background in mobile handset development but were bitten by the 3D printing bug a year ago and see great potential in getting Berliners on the journey for "Zero to Maker".
"We are especially excited about the work we have done on creating medical models from CT scans and also with schools and kindergardens. Our youngest 3D printer enthusiasts are just 5 years old! People with no background in industry or manufacturing are already working on their first products with us!" said Barr.
The World's First 3-D Printing Restaurant Pops Up

Everybody seems to be looking for the next great food frontier – and Food Ink may have found the way to marry the needs of foodies and techies into a delicious, or at least unique, meal. The company's pop-up series of 3-D-printed dining experiences is making its way around the world.
For three nights in July, Food Ink offered a 3-D-printed nine-course meal in London. Before you start thinking food designed and printed by geeks will taste like a box of mac and cheese, think again. The creations out of this high-end, concept kitchen are the work of chefs Mateu Blanch and Joel Castanye, who run the Michelin-starred restaurant La Boscana, in Spain. The chefs do, of course, work with other disciplines. In fact, the Food Ink website calls the process a collaborative experience "where fine cuisine meets art, philosophy, and tomorrow's technologies."
Food Ink co-founder Antony Dobrzensky explained the process in an article for Digital Trends, "It's the same principle as a pastry chef using a pastry bag to ice cakes. Puréed ingredients are extruded and vertically stacked into the three-dimensional molds from digital files. In this case, the bag is squeezed and guided by the robotic arm of the 3-D printer with a level of precision that's beyond what a human can do." (See the printers in action in the video above.)
For the pop-ups, chefs create food paste that, frankly, looks a little like baby food, and pop it into a syringe that's the plugged into a printer, like an ink cartridge. The printer extrude the food paste into layers, building up 3-D deliciousness. The London items had names such as air caviar, Caesar's flower of life, mystic prawns and 3-D Boscana.
Printing wasn't the end of prep. The food at the London restaurant was baked, fried or cooked in other ways before being served to guests who sat on printed furniture, ate with printed utensils and paid dearly for the privilege – 250 pounds (approximately $325).
