Interested in experimentation and building machinery that can self replicate? In a nut shell RepRap is an open research project to make Rapid Prototyping Machinery that can Replicate it self ultimately completely but working towards is aceptable, hence RepRap. This event is a meetup for folks who want to find out more or get involved, and to work on projects that push forward the boundaries of this technology research. It's not dry research though .... we build stuff too. And that stuff will eventually be able to build itself ... welcome to the self-replicating machine odyssey!

This month is the beginning of the BIG PUSH. The last few meetings have been lots of fun but there's also been lots of talking and introducing the RepRap. The core group members are keen to get the machine finally finished, so that all those inquisitive minds can be well and truly satisfied!

So, we have two events in October. This event, which will be a short meeting and we'd encourage only those with build skills and previous experience of the RepRap to attend. We will aslo have another longer event on Saturday the 29th October (see: http://reprap1110b.eventbrite.com)  where we will again focus on building during the first session and in the second session we will be open to everyone to call in and ask questions.

1. Welcome / Introductions.
2. Skills Builder session

Doors open at 6:45pm and the session begins at 7pm. We'll wrap up by 8:30 pm and then probably be heading off to the local alehouse to replicate some convivial refreshment and banter.

Directions to the GIST Lab, a creative community collabiration space operated by the GIST Foundation in partnership with the Showroom Workstation, are here.
