we have a makerlab at the HCI group: the physical design lab. researchers and students use the lab to produce all kinds of interesting, unique artefacts using 3D printers, laser cutter, knitting machine, etc. the goal of this bachelor thesis project is to design and implement an infrastructure that makes it easy to document these things, so that we have a gallery of cool physical design lab artefacts.
the resulting system should be easy to use, independent of external IT services and easy to maintain and administer. at the same time, it should offer at least rudimentary protection against abuse and spamming.
