\nA Fab<\/strong> Lab<\/strong> (FABrication LABoratory) is a small\u00adscale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication. A fab lab 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”. A FabLab aims to provide the environment, skills, advanced materials and technology to make things cheaply and quickly anywhere in the world and to make this available on a local basis to entrepreneurs, students, artists, small businesses and in fact, anyone who wants to create something new or bespoke.<\/p>\n
\nWe are more than a production based workshop. We are a creative space with a clear practical side; we are a collection of machines that we cherish and are set on growing and diversifying; we are a group of people who love what we do. We strive for a community with which to share and grow.<\/p>\n
\nFabLab is a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access for individuals to tools for digital fabrication.<\/p>\n
\nYou can use the FabLab to make almost anything (that doesn\u2019t hurt anyone); you must learn to do it yourself, and you must share use of the lab with others.<\/p>\n
\nTraining in the FabLab is based on doing projects and learning from your peers; you\u2019re expected to contribute to documentation and instruction.<\/p>\n
\nYou are responsible for:<\/p>\n\n
\nDesigns and processes developed in a FabLab must remain available for individual use although intellectual property can be protected however you choose.<\/p>\n
\nCommercial activities can be incubated in the FabLab but they must not conflict with open access, they should grow beyond rather than within the lab, and they are expected to benefit the inventors, labs, and networks that contribute to their success.<\/p>\n
\nWhile FabLab have yet to compete with mass production and its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely distributed products, they have already shown the potential to empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves. These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in ways that are not practical or economical using mass production.<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n
FabLab is looking for volunteers:<\/h2>\n
