Wat is een FabLab

Prof. Neil Gershenfeld,director of CBA

Wat is een FabLabThe Fab Charter

Mission: fab labs are a global network of local labs, enabling invention by providing access for individuals to tools for digital fabrication.

Access: you can use the fab lab to make almost anything (that doesn't hurt anyone); you must learn to do it yourself, and you must share use of the lab with other uses and users

Education: training in the fab lab is based on doing projects and learning from peers; you're expected to contribute to documentation and instruction

Responsibility: you're responsible for:

safety: knowing how to work without hurting people or machinescleaning up: leaving the lab cleaner than you found itoperations: assisting with maintaining, repairing, and reporting on tools, supplies, and incidents

Secrecy: designs and processes developed in fab labs must remain available for individual use although intellectual property can be protected however you choose

Business: commercial activities can be incubated in fab labs but they must not conflict with open access, they should grow beyond rather than within the lab, and they are expected to benefit the inventors, labs, and networks that contribute to their success.

Microcontrollers

A microcontroller (also MCU or µC) is a

functional computer system-on-a-chip. It contains a processor core, memory, and

programmable input/output peripherals.
