Originally conceived by Neil Gershenfeld at MIT, a Fab Lab is a self-contained lab that has about $20,000 in equipment – a laser cutter, milling machine, programming tools, and of course, 3D printing. We regularly feature Fab Labs across the globe that are empowering people to make almost anything that suits their personal needs. This month, Congressman Bill Foster introduced the National Fab Lab Network Act of 2013, which is intended to promote advanced manufacturing in the U.S. and invest in the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators. This is a great step forward in making amazing technologies like 3D printing more readily available.

The bill lists the following motivations for the introduction of the Fab Lab Network: (1) Scientific discoveries and technical innovations are critical to the economic and national security of the United States. You can track the bill at govtrack or download the bill in PDF. Below is a video of Congressman Foster introducing the bill. OtherFab. Academy.cba.mit.

What are Fab Labs, anyway? « Aalto Talk: Cindy Kohtala. If you read this previous post, you’ll know I was in Norway last month at the Lyngen Fab Lab. It was a valuable visit because there I got to know much more about the origins of the whole Fab Lab philosophy and intentions. Of course, the MIT Fab Lab network is informal and organic, so each Lab is unique in its operations, users and stakeholders, funders and revenue model, and goals and objectives. Still — there are certain things that differentiate Fab Labs from other maker spaces, access spaces, prototyping businesses, incubators and various innovation labs. So what is a Fab Lab? Norwegians are so friendly! What is Fab Lab Norway, then? Actually, Haakon would interrupt me here and say that it is not the PLACE — it is the PEOPLE. 4. The beauty of Lyngen in the autumn And finally 6. The Fab Lab Norway building, Lyngen MIT-Fab Lab Norway is a fascinating case study in itself because of its unique conditions and context.

But how about a city-based Lab? BECAS FAB ACADEMY BARCELONA 2012 | Fab Lab Barcelona > Fabricacion Digital Personal. El Fab Lab Barcelona, el Massachusetts Institute of Technology y el Ajuntament de Barcelona abren la convocatoria al concurso para optar a cuatro becas completas para el programa de estudios Fab Academy en Barcelona en el marco del desarrollo del proyecto Barcelona Fab City. El programa Fab Academy es una plataforma de educación e investigación impulsada por la red internacional de Fab Labs, que promueve la formación de las personas en los principios, aplicaciones e implicaciones de la fabricación digital. El programa se desarrollará en Barcelona desde Enero has Junio de 2012 en la sede del Fab Lab Barcelona dentro del Institut d’arquitectura avançada de Catalunya. Los estudiantes participarán en un programa internacional en el que aprenderán varias técnicas de fabricación digital y sus aplicaciones en el contexto urbano de los barrios de Les Corts y Nou Barris. 1.

Fab Lab Tulsa opened on a hot September 13th in 2011 amid the bussle of central Tulsa's Kendall-Whittier Neighborhood. It is incorporated as a 501(c)3 non-profit operating a 3500 square foot public access fabrication facility, making it one of the largest Fab Labs in the world. Geographically, the nearest operating Fab Labs are in Kansas City, MO or Albuquerque, NM. Remarkably there are no other operating Fab Labs in the entire Southern US. Its organization, its size and its location make Fab Lab Tulsa a truly unique enterprise. This is all the more important because we are encountering a rapidly changing social and economic world. Personal fabrication, like in a Fab Lab or Hackerspace or Makerspace, is making things you need with tools which are accessible to you.

Fab Lab is short for “fabrication laboratory”. Using a Fab Lab like the one in Tulsa is simple...don't postpone your first visit until you have an idea. Personal fabrication presents another outlook.

Africa. Asia. Europa. America Latina. America del Norte. Fab lab. Un Fab lab (acrónimo del inglés Fabrication Laboratory) es un espacio de producción de objetos físicos a escala personal o local que agrupa máquinas controladas por ordenadores. Su particularidad reside en su tamaño y en su fuerte vinculación con la sociedad. Historia El concepto de Fab lab aparece al principio de los años 2000 en el Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) del Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) cuyo director era ya en esa época Neil Gershenfeld. Nace de una colaboración, en el seno del Media Lab del MIT, entre el Grassroots Invention Group y el CBA, cuyas investigaciones giran en torno a la relación entre el contenido de la información y su representación física y al empoderamiento de las comunidades gracias a una tecnología de base. Características[editar] Según la definición de la Fab Foundation, un Fab lab se define de la siguiente manera: Equipamiento[editar] Las máquinas que suele reunir un Fab lab son : Funcionamiento[editar] FabFi[editar] Formación[editar] Asia[editar]
