Fablab in Amsterdam

See: fablab.waag.org

A FabLab is a workspace that contains three modern prototyping machines. The concept Fablab was developed by Neil Gershenfeld from MIT during a class 'How to make almost anything'

Since then, the Fablab has developed into a global network of standardized open hardware setups. People from all over the world are using it to create and develop their own ideas and sollutions. Together with FabLab.nl, Waag Society started to introduce the concept in the Netherlands. In cooperation with Picnic, Picnic Jr and Mediamatic with its exposition space, a promotion campaign started in 2007.

Waag Society offers workshop formats for technical education, but also uses the FabLab as a rapid prototyping facility for their own and their partner's use.

Furthermore, the lab is open two days a week for the general public to come in and realize their own ideas.

The Open Hardware approach is in line with the Open Source and Open Content (CC) communities.
