FAB LAB OULU WHAT IS FAB LAB?

Fab Lab is an innovative co-working

space for (personal) digital

fabrication and learning.

Fab Lab idea started at MIT. Currently there

are more than 1700 nodes all around the

world. All of them share common infrastructure

and processes so projects can be replicated:

Electronics workbench

CNC Router

Vinyl cutter

Laser cutter / engraver

CNC precission millingmachine

3D Printer

4 Finnish Fab Lab located in universities or Universities of Applied

Science: Oulu, Aalto, Tampere and Raseko.

Fab Lab staff have expertise in all previous

processes.
