FabLab New Views of Humankind Open Days at the Ars Electronica Center, January 2 to 4, 2009
The idea behind FabLab (from fabrication) is the capability of downloading objects from the internet and printing them out at home. And not just on paper; as real stuff! A 3D printer uses a computer model to generate an actual object, and a computer-controlled laser cutter does the high-precision shaping of any chosen material. Using the internet makes it possible to disseminate designs for articles of clothing, pieces of furniture or even a human skull just as easily as sharing music and pictures today.
