Early morning start @ Glasgow Science Centre

The FifeX team was in action again this week, moving the 'Vision For The Future' exhibition down to Glasgow Science Centre for a wee stint down there. We've done quite a bit of work on the ferrofluids and you can see the results here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OF8AZVNfF4&feature=youtu.be

The picture on the right is the Magnetism Table which now houses some small ferrofluid cells as well as the centre piece ferro display.

The exhibition is in Glasgow for the next 6 - 8 weeks before moving back to Satrosphere in Aberdeen.

You can follow us on Facebook or Twitter if you're interested in any more of our videos!

T.R.E.E. Centre Doors Open

September 15th 2013 saw the official opening of the T.R.E.E. Centre in Markinch. FifeX has been in working on this exhibition project for some time and it was finally opened to the public yesterday for a preview day before the VIP opening in October.

Designed by FifeX and Stuco the exhibition comes in the form of 5 separate units, each one comprising a range of activities - we'll be updating the site very soon to include more detail on all of the activities and lots of photos!

The first day saw lots of smiling faces and some very positive reviews - and hopefully there will be lots more of that to come! The centre is available for visits by schools, clubs, societies and anyone who is interested - read more about it here: http://www.thetreecentre.org/.

T.R.E.E. Install Part 1

FifeX delivered the first instalment of its exhibition for the T.R.E.E. centre at Tullis Russell in Markinch. This fantastically exciting project has occupied the team for some time and we're very close to being finished. Stay tuned for more info and some more photos over the next few weeks!

M&H Advert

FifeX is pleased to have an advert on page 43 of the latest edition of the M&H magazine - you can read it here as an ebook: http://www.mandh-online.com/ebook/

Something Old, Something New

Jigsaws always seem to be a popular activity and we get asked to make them time and time again. On our latest jigsaw game, we printed straight onto plywood and then laser-cut the pieces to create a really tough jigsaw. These were also A2 size so they're pretty big! You can see these in action in the REME Museum of Technology.

Getting Spritzed up!

FifeX has just completed a bar for a large event in Brighton. Ever tried Aperol? Well the Aperol Spritz cocktail is making its way round the country and they wanted a HUGE bar to keep the bottles in!

The bar on the right is double-sided, about 6m long and 4m tall. It splits into 7 distinct sections for transporting and can house quite a few bottles of Aperol.

A month of 3D printing!

Well that's now about a month since FifeX acquired a makerbot 3D printer and it's seen fairly constant use. We've been building everything from cable clips and boxes for Arduinos to usb pen holders and plastic tokens for a project we're working on - we've even been working on some prototypes for a packaging company. This picture on the right is a little LCD we are using that has been nicely mounted in a bright orange 3D printed stand. If you would like to 3D print something - you know where we are!
