Fab Academy 2027 is officially launching!

Ready to go beyond using technology and start designing, making, and understanding how thing works?

Fab Academy is a global, hands-on learning experience where ideas become prototypes, mistakes become knowledge, and local Fab Labs connect you to a worldwide network.

What if the most important skill you could learn wasn’t how to use a machine, but how to figure things out for yourself?

Build the skills. Gain the confidence. Create your own solutions. And do it alongside a global community that learns by making.

Fab Academy 2027 is coming.
Stop depending. Start making.

Shopbot milling aluminium (sort of...)

The first sparks we produced with a self-sourced V3 power core (for Electrical Discharge Machining EDM https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_discharge_machining). In Dutch, the name is: Vonkverspanen :-) https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vonkverspanen

Documentation can be found here: https://pub.fabcloud.io/project/fab26_bottrop/workshops/Fab_EDM/

Coming soon, also showing how we milled the housing ourselves from a large block of aluminum (a little teaser: see video in reply..).
