A Fab Lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-scale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication (for an overview see e.g. Menichinelli (2010) and Troxler (2011)). A Fab Lab is generally equipped with an array of flexible computer controlled tools that cover several different length scales and various materials, with the aim to make "almost anything" (Gershenfeld 2005). This includes technology-enabled products generally perceived as limited to mass production.
