"Fab Labs make manufacturing personal"
Argonne National Laboratory, in conjunction with the University of Chicago, recently helped to launch a Fab Lab at Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, and others may soon arrive both on site and at several locations in greater Chicagoland.

Fab Labbers can use grid computing technology to explore the synergies between their different projects in much the same way, according to Foster. "We want to reduce the barriers to collaborative innovation, and that means allowing people to share information, talk to each other or access design tools without regard to distance"

Although Argonne will have a large stake in promoting the spread of personal manufacturing" Foster said, "end users will feel most directly the benefits from the expansion of Fab Lab technology. There are many interesting and, in some cases, tricky differences between different Fab Labs. But in every case we’re empowering people by giving them the ability to create truly impressive things" | read more>
