14. What is a “FabLab”?
u A fab lab (fabrication laboratory) is a small-
scale workshop offering (personal) digital fabrication
u 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"
u This includes technology-enabled products generally perceiv
as limited to mass production
u While fab labs have yet to compete with mass production and
its associated economies of scale in fabricating widely
distributed products, they have already shown the potential to
empower individuals to create smart devices for themselves.
u These devices can be tailored to local or personal needs in
ways that are not practical or economical using mass

32. Artur Serra
Oct 31, 2013 Hi Izumi
We are creating Barcelona Laboratori, an umbrella fo
he different "labs" that are emerging in the city. Fabla
s one of the "families", but there are others.
ven in the digital fabrication area there are several
pproaches like "makers", "reprap", and other "fablab
ot directly connected with MIT.
What kind of fablab is yours?
My approach is creating an open Lab in the city that
ould interconnect these several labs.
I'm sending my strategy.

33. “The Lab”: the new meme.

34. Potential of FabLab
u Build new type of Information Society
u Develop next generation of leaders
u Innovate not only manufacturing, but
the whole society together
u Creating “Sharables”/linkages instead o
products
u Combined with ICT, traditional
craftsmanship will leap
u Deeply rooted with community

35. Fields covered by FabLab
u Appropriate Technology
u Art
u Empower small factories
u New type of R&D
u Business and Commerce
u Empower local community
u Education

36. Some Issues and Challenges
u Sustainable Development
u Human Resources
u Business base/model
u Education
u Legal Issues
u Open Source vs IPR
u Product Liability
u Licensing Schemes
u Standardization
u Global standard
u Global Policy Framework

62. unConference #1 Outcome:
Open Factory Model
How the value chain will evolve?
4. CONCLUSIONn witnessing the way these questions matured and got structured, the image of a new balance
ged : from the manufacturer —> commodity —> customer linear path, the idea of industry
toward an interconnected Open Factory <—> Physital Object <—> Users eco-system.
cussing among car manufacturers, Fablab people and researchers, it appeared that the
nufacturing process, in which the car manufacturer incorporates all the added value and
d end product safe and ready to be used by a customer, seems not to be the only
any more.

Participants
I want to push E-Cart
The central mission of FabLab is to let people
make things they want. In Japan however, there
are so many things flooding in the market that
many people have difficulty finding what they
really want to create. Maybe just a hobby or new
culture.
But, that is only pertinent for those who are
healthy, well-off financially. I have known there
are certain minority people who are not that wel
I heard the real voice of the people, felt that
there is a real need where making things could

112. u Diverse nationality of people, diverse
skills and expertise, who could make
products on the fly. Very impressive
learning opportunity.
• I felt the near future of society –
by Mr. Kuramoto’s Fability Scooter
and OSVehicle story by Tin.
• Just wonderful.
• To tell you the truth, I had many questions before
participating as to what is the objective and what
exactly we were going to do. But, after participating
the two day unConference, I could directly listen to

114. Almost done

115. Why not “Slow Car”?
Slow Way and Slow Cities?
Slow car to follow Slow food?
Sloe Ways to follow High Ways?
Best Speed in addition to Max Speed?
Slow Mobility?
Slow Life?
Slow City?
Slow Society?
he resources in Planet Earth are very limited,
