What is “FabLab”? A fab lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale 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"
This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production
While fab labs 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
