Fab Lab Reykjavík

Fab Lab Reykjavik
Fab Lab Reykjavik was opened on January 24th, 2014 as a collaboration between the City of Reykjavik, Breiðholt College and Innovation Center Iceland

Fab Lab is short for Fabrication Laboratory. We're set up to inspire and teach people about how to turn idea's into products, prototypes or art & design trough digital fabrication. We work with open source software and have various machines and processes available. Our capability's include lasercutting, vinylcutting, 3D printing, large format cnc milling, molding & casting, designing, creating and programming electronics.
