FAB

Long time ago when we was FAB is now back. I first read about it in the May 2nd issue of Business Week. FAB Labs, which is a group of personal manufacturing software and hardware, is like a 3D printer. You can program anything into it’s system, and it will produce the piece by carving cross-sections out of plastic, and fusing those pieces together to create the piece as a functional whole. Today these stations cost $20,000, but hopefully in the future they will drop to $10,000, then possibly even $1000.
