Tech Saturday is a carnival event organised by the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore for the public to showcase the potential of technology. In addition to a tech showcase, visitors are invited to be hands-on with Worksheds.

These booths, stationed throughout the carnival, will let visitors try out different kinds of technology in a workshop format. Ranging from circuits to 3D printing, all workshops are free. Pre-registration has closed but there will be seats available on-site. Enquire at registration counters near the Worksheds. More information is available here.

One of the highlights of the event is the RC Drift Car Race. This race is where 3D printing meets radio-controlled RC) drifting. Watch RC drifters push the limits of their technical experimentation and skills, drifting with 3D printed car parts they have designed. 

Date: 25 April 2015 
Venue: Suntec City Convention & Exhibition Centre, Hall 401-402 

TINKR marries fashion, design and 3D printing technology

Singapore-based TINKR has shifted from providing 3D printing services to combining fashion, design and technology in ways that are ideal as one-of-a-kind corporate gifts.

"Marrying craftsmanship and technology has always been our deep rooted passion and belief, and we can't wait to share with you beautiful prints designed locally and around the region. Over the next few months, we will be collaborating with artisans and designers to bring you the finest and the freshest prints, uniquely created with a signature influence," say Founders Xiaohui and Freda in an eDM.

The two have taken six months to develop The Pocket Square and The Calligraphy Pendant. The 3D printed Pocket Squares fit in the pocket of a blazer and come in the Peak Cut, Classic Cut and the Unstructured Cut variations. These are available on TINKR's website in white nylon (S$40), wood (S$42) and gold-plated steel (S$99).

The Calligraphy Pendant is TINKR's first collaboration with calligrapher Clarence Wee of Craft Varies. Various ready-to-wear phrases are available in white nylon (S$28) and gold polished brass (S$78). A chain is included in the price.
