This global movement was started by the US physicist Neil Gershenfeld, who set up the prototype of a Fab Lab for his students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1998. His idea: to make the production of things accessible to the general public thanks to computer-controlled manufacturing machines such as 3D printers, laser cutters and CNC milling machines.
FAB24 was the 20th conference of the Fab Lab movement and showed how people all over the world are using this technology creatively and sensibly today. In numerous workshops, they presented creative materials and designs, recycling methods, robots, software hacks, spectacular data visualizations, approaches for their own distributed energy supply and projects that support disadvantaged communities. A few decades ago, this would have been unthinkable.
