Diary NoteSGER Abstract0832234Jalalabad Fab LabNeil GershenfeldMITJune 9, 2008Fab Labs are portable rapid prototyping facilities that can be deployedworldwide to allow local manufacture of physical objects. Over the severalyears that they have been in existence, they have been used for making RF components in Norway, copier gears in India, and for education in the inner city of Boston. A FabLab network has permitted the individual facilities toshare ideas and solutions.A Fab Lab has been established in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, both as a base for research and an experiment in itself in the impact of providing modern means for invention rather than remotely-developed solutions to local problems. The initial focus on applications in healthcare is targetingsome of the most immediate needs, which are currently constrained by the needfor long supply chains or large local inventories. As solutions are developedand tested in the Jalalabad fab lab, they will be shared throughout the globalfab lab network. The connection with this network, along with access to rapid-prototyping capabilities, is also expected to contribute to the regionaldevelopment of educational and economic activity.

日记笔记SGER摘要0832234 Jalalabad Fab LabNeil Gershenfield MIT 2008年6月9日Fab Labs是便携式快速成型设备，可在全球范围内部署，以实现物理对象的本地制造。在它们存在的几年里，它们已经在挪威被用于制造射频组件，在印度被用于复印机齿轮，并在波士顿市中心用于教育。Fab Lab网络使各个机构能够分享想法和解决方案。Fab Lab已经在阿富汗贾拉拉巴德建立，既是一个研究基地，也是一个实验本身，其影响是为发明提供现代手段，而不是远程开发解决当地问题的解决方案。最初对医疗保健应用的关注是针对一些最紧迫的需求，这些需求目前受到长供应链或大量当地库存的需求的制约。随着解决方案在贾拉拉巴德工厂实验室的开发和测试，它们将在全球工厂实验室网络中共享。与该网络的联系，以及快速成型能力的获得，预计也将有助于该区域教育和经济活动的发展。
