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 or pieces of furniture just as easily as sharing music and pictures today.
