In many areas of the country and the world, you can now visit a local "Fab Lab" (short for fabrication laboratory), often housed at a nearby community college or in a mobile van to create just about anything at low cost or for free. Professor Neil Gershenfeld of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge MA, helped develop the Fab Lab concept in the 1990s after an MIT course called How to Make (Almost) Anything. The goal: letting ordinary people turn an idea into a product for personal or commercial use by giving them access to design and manufacturing tools previously available only to engineers at large companies. Gershenfeld also wanted to create what he called a personal fabricator that would let individuals 3D print objects at home on-demand from computer-generated designs. In addition, Gershenfeld is pushing Congress to establish a National Fab Lab Network to provide an umbrella organization for the support of what some also call personalized digital fabrication.
