Publisher's Synopsis
In the course of the digital revolution, Fab Labs (short for fabrication laboratory) make high-tech production technologies available for small teams or individuals, who can make there 'almost everything' themselves. Fab Labs are simultaneously workshop and laboratory, equipped with computer controlled tools such as laser cutters, CNC milling machines and 3D printers. Following on from desktop publishing and digital video editing, the production of physical products is now possible for anyone anywhere.
