Welcome to Home Fabbing. An emerging manufacturing technology for the home – Home Fabbing is the process of building 3 dimensional objects by carefully depositing materials drop by drop, layer by layer. With the right set of materials and CAD (computer aided design), it is becoming possible to fabricate complex objects that would normally take special resources, tools and skills if produced using conventional manufacturing techniques. Most commercial 3D Printers today are limited to one material at a time. As the technology improves, soon home machines will be able to use multiple materials to fabricate complete products.
Just as MP3s, iPods and the Internet have freed musical talent, blueprints and home fabbing will democratize innovation. The endgame of home fabbing is the personal nanofactory, where the unit of construction will shrink to the atomic level. Early products of home fabbing will be watch bands, plastic dispensers, eating utensils, and advanced nanotech fabbing will give us literally anything that can take a physical shape – from a bicycle to a smart phone to a perfectly cooked filet mignon.
Home Fabbing tracks the migration of printing paper documents in the home to manufacturing almost any item conceivable. It is going to be an interesting next couple of decades for sure. Thank you for visiting and supporting HomeFabbing.

3D Printers
Advantages of 3D printers
3D printers allow companies to create detailed 3D models which closely replicate the mechanical properties of the CAD designed item. 3D printers offer significant cost savings for companies by eradicating many design errors and prototyping mistake. Companies that in the past would design and create individual model parts to fit together are now able save costs and time by creating a single print 3D model in-house. Previously, outsourcing to modeling companies would incur high cost and significant production time. Today this is not the case
3D printers assists companies in creating 3D models quickly, especially in the world of movies where multiple models are required to quickly create a tangible story. Today, product designers use 3D printers to quickly realize in 3D their concepts and designs clearly and with minimal cost. Engineers can design and create structures faster and locate flaws much earlier by using a 3D printer

Rapid Prototyping in Architecture
It is not too farfetched to predict that in the future a complete building will be built from a computer. Similar technology has already begun to be used by the industrial design and manufacturing industries. One of the best-known and oldest technologies is called Stereo Lithography, because it involves a laser beam moving through a vat of ultraviolet-sensitive liquid polymer, which follows the contour of a digital 3D model. The beam strikes on a layer of ultraviolet-sensitive liquid polymer, and then the thin layer is solidified. The laser will keep repeating the same process from the bottom to the top of the 3D model. A temporary framing support for the model is required, because the process is from the bottom up. Stereo Lithography machines are manufactured by 3D Systems Inc., and they are also known as Stereo Lithography Apparatuses (SLA). The final model usually requires a little bit of sanding, and it is inappropriate for an office setting because this process
