FabLabs are small personal manufacturing workshops where everyday people can create almost everything. FabLabs demystify technology by making high-tech equipment and knowledge available to everyone. The FabLab movement has spread all over the world (Google Map).
In this session we will explore who uses a FabLab and why. You will also learn how people interact with laser cutters and 3D printers, what hurdles exist, why these hurdles exist and how they can be overcome so that you can create concepts how to make personal fabrication available to the everyone. The session will focus on 3D printing so that you can understand the hype and reality around 3D printing.

The revolution is how we make 3D printing available to everyday people.” Martin studied art history, sociology and computer science and worked as UX designer and product manager at international software companies.
