Fab



This is a little different from my usual posts because I am asking you to read a book. For me, this book is a must read. There is a revolution coming and it is a manufacturing one. Imagine being able to fabricate anything you can think of at home, using simple desktop devices and software, a custom built one off just for you. This book describes how this might become a reality and does it in such a way as to make it accessible to anyone. I did a bit of digging on the web around the subject of Personal Fabrication and there are already affordable Home Fabricators, like the one below, available for purchase. So 'Goodbye' Computer Revolution and 'Hello' Fab Revolution.
