First Fab Labs in Corsica Announced
Corsica will host its first Fab Labs! A concept that already has 472 locations worldwide, the Fab Lab digital manufacturing workshops pool a set of resources to design, produce and disseminate knowledge and know-how. The Corsica project was born through a public-private partnership and will be launched in June 2015.
In 2014, there were 3,000 participants. This year’s “Inside 3D Printing” Conference in New York City from April 15-17 had 12,000 people registered, from 56 countries, with 88 exhibitors and sponsors.
Innovators & cutting-edge technology come together under one roof to form a Fab Lab – a fabrication laboratory.
Fab Labs grew out of the class "How To Make (Almost) Anything" taught by Neil Gershenfeld at MIT in 2001.
There are more than 88 Fab Labs in the US & Canada – more than 432 total in the world.
