What is a FabLab?

A FabLab is short for Fabrication Laboratory - small-scale workshop offering digital fabrication to anyone who needs access to advanced technology to be able to turn their ideas into new products or prototypes. The idea was conceived by Professor Neil Gershenfeld - director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms.

“The day is coming when we will produce our own products at home with a device called a personal fabricator.” Prof. Neil Gershenfeld
