Workshop on personal and pervasive fabrication (PerFab 2013)
Manfred Lau, Christian Weichel, Nicolas Villar · 2013
Recently, technologies for fabricating real-world objects and products that can be designed and built directly by the end-user have decreased in costs and are increasingly common. These technologies are expected to have a great impact on society and the personal fabrication concept has been described as the "new or third industrial revolution". However, there is a great need to explore many novel research challenges and issues before the idea of personal fabrication becomes truly pervasive and applicable to the wider public.
