How to make (almost) anything
IF YOU ASK Neil Gershenfeld, there may come a day, perhaps not so far in the future, when we'll no longer need manufacturers to make our products for us.
Neil Gershenfeld is a professor at MIT and the head of MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms , a sister lab spun out of the popular MIT Media Lab . His research interests are mainly in interdisciplinary studies involving physics and computer science , in such fields as quantum computing , nanotechnology , personal fabrication , and other research areas. His lab is currently located in the E15 building at MIT .

Fab lab
FabLab Toulouse Conference a réuni la semaine dernière un très beau plateau d'intervenants gravitant autour des fab labs, ces mini-usines citoyennes collaboratives de fabrication à la demande. Rencontres. Tomas Diez est directeur de projet Fab Lab Barcelona à l’IAAC (Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia).
Les fab labs, incubateurs de futur
Vers des objets open-source » Article » OWNI, Digital Journalism
Et si on appliquait aux objets bien matériels les règles des logiciels open-source, en rendant accessible les processus de fabrication, en libérant la distribution, la fabrication et la copie ? Un projet pas si fou que ça.
Les imprimantes 3D, c'est-à-dire des machines capables de fabriquer des objets, intéressent désormais de puissants investisseurs, comme l'un des fondateurs d'Amazon. La démocratisation de ces machines ne relève plus de l'utopie.
