Digital Fabber

"What is DigitalFabber?"
You might be asking yourself, “Who, or what, is Digital Fabber”?
It is a movement, a collective awakening of the creative spirit, a group of like minded people empowering one another to Carve It, Cut It, Stitch It and Print It. With the use of CNC tools like routers, lasers, long arm quilters, and 3d Printers, we are creating real world solutions to everyday problems. We do it in the privacy of our own homes, in a shop, at a hacker meeting, and even at public high schools.

DigitalFabber is also an informational website (www.DigitalFabber.com), an online Magazine of sorts. It's a place where we share all of the latest technologies and techniques: Build Blogs, Digital Patterns and Project Plans, all of the training videos we can find, and so much more.

We also provide an online community (www.DigitalFabberCommunity.com). It has become a single location to gather and chat, post to forums, browse photo and video galleries, and educate yourself or others about what a fabber is and does.

Welcome to the Third Industrial Revolution.
What is a Fabber? A fabber (short for digital fabricator) is a “factory in a box” that makes things automatically from digital data. Fabbers generate three-dimensional, solid objects you can hold in your hands, submit to testing, or assemble into working mechanisms. They are used by manufacturers around the world for low-volume production, prototyping, and mold mastering. They are also used by scientists and surgeons for solid imaging, and by a few modern artists for innovative computerized sculpture. Manufacturers report enormous productivity gains from using fabbers.

The Learning Center at Linlee is the new home of Digital Fabber, the CNC Jamboree, Fabber Camp and other events. A close partnership between TLC and Digital Fabber will empower students and faculty to make TLC a destination school, a place that everyone wants to attend. We will provide an environment rich in technology and real-world know how. With these tools, we will put ideas in motion and see projects through to completion. By fostering creativity, we will prepare students for actual job situations. Our success will be measured by each student's preparedness for life after high school and ability to apply their knowledge in the working world.
