✪ The fabbing revolution is coming.

When the prehistoric world was introduced to ceramic technology, it really knocked people over. Until that time they had to fashion their tools by crudely or delicately knocking stones together and using the different types of flint that this produced.


But then ceramics hit the scene.
With pottery however you could simply mold any shape you liked and color could be added.. it was just unbelievable. To us these objects may look simple, to these people it was magic.



A similar revolution may hit society today:
Personal Fabrication

It enables you to create any new technology or gadget you may wish to build. A 3-D printer can help you to manufacture anything that mayor companies like Philips, Sony or Apple can build. Let's hope this liberates todays passive consumers, to become active participators and inventors.

The possibilities are amazing, just take a look at the printer and these printed models (the curly one is made of sugar):


The fabbing printer was created by Neil Gershenfeld, who likens its development to that of the first personal computers.
