WHAT IS A FABLAB?
A Fab Lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small scale workshop with the tools to make almost anything. This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production.
Fab Lab now empowers individuals to create smart devices for themselves. These devices are tailored to local or personal needs in ways that are practical and economical.
The Fab Lab program is part of the MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) which broadly explores how the content of information relates to its physical representation.
