General Information
MakeICT's FabLab is an open 300 sq ft area dedicated to fabrication and rapid prototyping. Members can test ideas and concepts before moving on to more expensive materials or processes, or simply enjoy the creative process of making.
Christian Kindel is the Benevolent Dictator over the FabLab.
