Fab labs are a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access to tools for digital fabrication.

Fab labs share an evolving inventory of core capabilities to make (almost) anything, allowing people and projects to be shared.

Operational, educational, technical, financial, and logistical assistance beyond what’s available within one lab.

Fab labs are available as a community resource, offering open access for individuals as well as scheduled access for programs.

We implement a variety of security measures when a user enters, submits, or accesses their information to maintain the safety of your personal information.

Designs and processes developed in fab labs can be protected and sold however an inventor chooses, but should remain available for individuals to use and learn from.
