What's that you say? It's the most freaking amazing project you've ever heard of. Don't believe me? Just wait. Idea During the Fabricademy, Alexandra's sister gave birth to a baby-girl. While spending time with them, Ale realized how hard it was to make her fall asleep. She also thought it was very hard to monitor a baby while they're asleep. She told me this, and we started making some research … text/html 2017-10-05T13:03:28+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/carlos.herbozo/me?rev=1507208608&do=diff Motivations and Expectations As an industrial engineer student, I’ve been able to appreciate how underdeveloped most of the industrial sectors are in Perú. Moreover, I am disappointed in how little we have innovated within these industries as a country. This is one of the reasons why I chose to take up technological innovation as a minor to my career. I want to be able to invent and implement ways in which we can all grow, not personally but all together as a whole.

I never know whether it’s gonna be hot or cold in the afternoon, regardless of the morning’s temperature. So, I thought it might be nice, to have a long sleeve t-shirt that could shrink its sleeves when it senses your body temperature has pe… text/html 2017-10-05T14:36:19+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/carlos.herbozo/w1?rev=1507214179&do=diff State of the Art, Project Management and Documentation Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend the first session of the Fabricademy, because I hadn’t fully decided whether or not I was going to take the course. This was mainly due to the fact that I’m still a student, and I’m currently coursing my final semester, so I’m working on my thesis. However, a good friend of mine managed to convince me and I contacted FabLab ESAN that same afternoon, to see if I still could sign up for the course.

Because of the complexity of the assignment, we were allowed to work in groups, so Eldy, Alexandra and I, managed to create our mannequin just in time. The first step towards assembling the mannequin was choosing the techniques we were going to use.

My idea was to create something I could use casually, but that could be easily modified to fit the occasion. I decided to create a waistcoat because they're one of my favorite garments, and I don't own many, so an extra one would come handy. In order to do so, I followed the next steps. text/html 2018-01-25T18:58:23+00:00 http://wiki.textile-academy.org/fabricademy2017/students/carlos.herbozo/w4?rev=1516906703&do=diff Biodyes and Biofabrics This week's assignment was to experiment with one type of natural dye, and one type of biofabric.

Ale and I decided to work on a felting machine. The idea was to join to natural fabrics with special needles, without using any sort of additional thread.
