About the Fablab Concept
Posted by: Nick on: June 24, 2009
FABLAB
source: http://fab.cba.mit.edu/about/faq/
Fab labs provide widespread access to modern means for invention. They began as an outreach project from MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA). CBA assembled millions of dollars in machines for research in digital fabrication, ultimately aiming at developing programmable molecular assemblers that will be able to make almost anything. Fab labs fall between these extremes, comprising roughly fifty thousand dollars in equipment and materials that can be used today to do what will be possible with tomorrow’s personal fabricators.

Cleveland to Kenya via Norway and GE
Posted by: Nick on: June 24, 2009
The FABLAB is a global network of people who collaborate and share knowledge. In this project the Fablab in Cleveland will be working with their educational partner General Electric (GE) to develop an efficient solution to the lack of lighting and electricity available to the Fablab in Kenya and is surrounding compound. The project also include the development of a lighting mechanism that can work off a solar cell and ultimately be reproduced in any Fablab around the world. The plan is to develop the fixture with the informational resources and experiences from our team at GE Lighting and use only the tools and materials available to any Fablab around the world. If it can be designed in Norway with support from Cleveland, it can be reproduced in Kenya.
At this point we have Nick DiGiorgio of the Cleveland Fablab at a Fablab Bootcamp in Norway. Working through the web and the teleconferencing plans and ideas are shared as the project for both the lighting sytem in the Fablab Kenya and the solar fixture are fleshed out.

Ok USA (you will see the thumbs up a lot)
I’ve made it safe to Norway. Sorry for not calling I didn’t know how.
You can log onto Google Talk and communicate with me through the email address: nicholas.digiorgio@gmail.com or let me know you are going to try Google talk and I’ll contact you. Skype is another tool that I will try to figure out. We can text chat, or talk and even video conference from the lab.
You can see me live from the website at this Link: http://www.fablab.no/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=103
The place I’m staying at is: http://www.fablab.no/
There are others from all over the world. Frosti from Iceland, Alex from Netherlands, Eddie from Manchester, Thomas from Kenya.
I’ve uploaded some pictures at Flicker which you can access from the right.
Things I’ve accomplished…
- Midnight walk up a mountain to see whales and eagles, only saw a few sheep
- Create this blog with the pictures and videos
- Eaten dried Reindeer heart, Icelandic “Pluck and mash” (Pluck fish from the bone and mix it with potatoes like a casserole) and then for snack dried sea-weed
- Taken a lot of pictures
However, I haven’t fabricated anything yet. But I’ll keep you updated.

With less than a year under our belt for with the Cleveland FABLAB we have a lot to learn from the Network that is available to us around the world. Add them below
Arriving in Norway
Posted by: Nick on: June 22, 2009
Well it’s been one heck of a trip. I missed a flight that was delayed by 2 hours, spent 16 hours getting from Cleveland, Ohio to Philedelphia, to Olso, Norway to a northern city named Tromso, and then a long car ride to the little remote town in Lyngen Alps, Norway. Lost my luggage and don’t have any clean clothes. Can’t sleep right now because of this…
