THE LATEST @ FAB LAB BALTIMORE

New Vacuum Former in the lab!

We are so excited that we have a new machine in the Lab! We just received our new Mayku Formbox Vacuum Former. We see so many great opportunities for this machine and are excited to see how this machine will bridge that gap between 3D printing and manufacturing. Check out our teaser video about this new machine to see how it works!

REOPENING PREP

JULY 2020

We are looking forward to welcoming users back in the Fab Lab. We appreciate your patience as we figure out the safest way to orient and organize the lab for users and staff! Keep your eyes peeled for announcements on social media, and check out our   RESERVATIONS    page for policies and information.

PPE PRODUCTION

APRIL 2020
​
Fab Lab Baltimore is currently responding to the COVID-19 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shortages with in-house production and volunteers from the community! We are partnering with   HOUSING OUR NEIGHBORS   (HON) and BALTIMORE TRANSIT EQUITY COALITION   to provide PPE to our vulnerable neighbors staying in Baltimore City homeless shelters and encampments as well as members of the essential workforce that are reliant on public transportation. Our goal is to help stem the flow of hospital visits and to work in communities that data has shown are more at-risk of contracting COVID-19. These partnerships are not only helping to keep these communities safe but also keep the wider general public safe by limiting the amount of cases of COVID-19 in our area.

To find out more about these two organizations check out the links below. THANK YOU to all of the volunteer sewists and couriers for donating your time and energy into this project! We are so proud of this maker community!

NO REST FOR THE LASERS

APRIL 2020
​
In response to COVID-19 PPE shortages, we are manufacturing laser cut face shields that are being distributed to local area hospitals as well as Baltimore County's Emergency Operations Center.
