The FabLab
A shared workshop, the Franciscaines FabLab brings together digitally-controlled machines and traditional tools in the same space. Here, a wide range of technical and artistic practices can be developed: custom object manufacturing, textile personalization, micro-publishing, computer-assisted music, photography, programming and electronics. The word FabLab is a contraction of "fabrication laboratory".
