How to make almost anything

designer = producer = consumer

A Workshop A Fab Lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication. It is generally equipped with an array of flexible computer controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost anything"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fab_lab#External_links

A    Workshop  

A    Culture  sharing

open source Fab labs also have the

capability to receive complex instructions in digital form, sent from a faraway place. The design for a sensor developed in Cambridge, Mass., for instance, can be sent to a rural Indian village and produced right there.

collaboration

The  Fab  Academy  is  a  network  rather  than  a  place,  with  teachers  and  students  in  fab  labs  around  the  world  linked  by  broadband  video,  shared  online  informa(on,  and  common  technical  capabili(es.  

A    Network  

blogs,  common  projects  etc    

In a fab lab – computer-controlled tools, construction materials, and electronic components can be used to make structures as small as a millionth of a meter and as big as a house.

FaB  LaB  house,  Madrid  

The  main  structure  of  the  house  has  been  fabricated  in  Germany  with  large  scale  CNC  Machine,  the  remaining  components  of  the  house  such  as  interior,  skin  and  other  elements  have  been  fabricated  in  the  Fab  Lab  Barcelona.  The  Fab  Lab  House  is  much  more  than  a  house  fabricated  

with  CNC  Machines,  is  the  result  of  a  team  work  with  people  coming  from  25  different  countries.  One  team,  on  project.  

Fab labs share core capabilities, so that people and projects can be shared across them. This currently includes: A computer-controlled lasercutter, for press-fit assembly of 3D structures from 2D parts

A larger (4'x8') numerically-controlled milling machine, for making furniture- (and house-) sized parts

A signcutter, to produce printing masks, flexible circuits, and antennas

A precision (micron resolution) milling machine to make three-dimensional molds and surface-mount circuit boards

Programming tools for low-cost high-speed embedded processors [electronics]

hLp://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/faq/  

Launching  a  new  fab  lab  requires  assembling  enough  of  the  hardware  and  soPware  inventory  

to  be  able  to  share  people  and  projects  with  other  fab  labs,  pos(ng  the  Fab  Charter  to  provide  context  for  doing  that

An  MIT  Fab  Lab  is  a  workshop  open  to  the  public  where  inventors  and  product  developers  can  get  help  making  prototypes  of  their  inven(ons.  APer  taking  a  safety  and  equipment  training  class  users  will  have  access  to  a  Shopbot  CNC  milling/rou(ng  machine,  Epilog  Laser  cuLer,  UPrint  3D  printer,  Roland  vinyl  cuLer,  laser  scanners,  and  CAD  (computer  aided  design)  soPware.
