FABLAB
Небольшая мастерская, предоставляющая всем желающим возможность индивидуального самостоятельного изготовления необходимых им изделий и деталей.

Такая лаборатория обычно располагает, помимо ручных инструментов и измерительных приборов, современными станками с числовым программным управлением. В фаблабах, согласно концепции, предложенной профессором MIT Нилом Гершенфельдом, возможно сделать «почти всё» из «практически ничего».

Создание фаблабов началось в 2000-е годы, преимущественно при университетах; в настоящее время существует свыше 1200 мастерских системы fab lab в разных странах, в том числе в США и России.

Small-scale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication. A fab lab is typically equipped with an array of flexible computer-controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make «almost anything». This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production.

While fab labs have yet to compete with mass production and its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely distributed products, they have already shown the potential to empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves. These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in ways that are not practical or economical using mass production.

The fab lab movement is closely aligned with the DIY movement, open-source hardware, maker culture, and the free and open-source movement, and shares philosophy as well as technology with them.
Did you know Fablabs will enable us within the next 10 years to reclaim control over the industrial production system?

Some fablab already allow to use CNC table like this one, to cut out and put together the wooden panels of this autonomous solar house, design to adapt the hours of sunshine of its area.

By using the new tools provided by the internet for local development in syria and trying to apply Fablab in Moscow, using an open source version, available for everybody
