Digital Fabrication is transforming production and consumption

Digital Fabrication is the use of computer-aided design programs to cut, print or laser to create something with additive and subtractive manufacturing. These processes give communities practical ways to move from an idea to a working prototype.

Fab Labs represent a form of empowerment. They create space for people to think outside the box, dream, design and make products tailored to local needs.

Personal production, rather than mass-scale production, can support navigation systems, prosthetics, environmental sensors and many other inspiring community-led projects.
