The Fab Labs are Fabrication (or Fabulous) Laboratories where you can make (almost) anything, depending on your imagination and desires. Imagine the possibility of building your own things on your desktop: What would you create? Start to think about it… The Mobile Fab Lab will across different states of the US to bring this new reality to the people: Digital Fabrication…to go!

This video was produced during the summer of 2007. This research trip was possible thanks to the impulse of the MIT CBA and the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia and the Fab Lab Bcn.

The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia participates in different projects with the MIT Center for Bits and Atoms. The latest one is a Mobile Fab Lab which is crossing the United States with all the components of a Fab Lab inside: Laser Cutter, Modela Milling Machine, Vinyl Cutter, CNC, and all the tools needed to make (almost) anything. Tomas Diez, Fab Lab Barcelona Project Manager, is part of the team with Amy Sun (MIT CBA) and Kenny Cheung (MIT CBA). The project aims bring Digital Fabrication to be accesible to the common people and develop educational programs about materialization.
