Jalalabad Fab Lab

贾拉拉巴德Fab实验室Neil Gershenham麻省理工学院2008年6月9日Fab实验室是便携式快速原型制造设施，可以部署在世界各地，使当地制造的物理对象。 在它们存在的几年里，它们在挪威被用于制造射频元件，在印度被用于制造复印机齿轮，在波士顿市中心被用于教育。 一个Fab Lab网络允许各个设施分享想法和解决方案。在阿富汗贾拉拉巴德建立了一个Fab Lab，既是研究基地，也是为发明提供现代手段而不是远程开发解决当地问题的实验。医疗保健应用的最初重点是针对一些最迫切的需求，这些需求目前受到长供应链或大型本地库存需求的限制。随着解决方案在贾拉拉巴德晶圆厂实验室的开发和测试，它们将在全球晶圆厂实验室网络中共享。与这一网络的连接，沿着获得快速原型制作能力，预计也将有助于区域教育和经济活动的发展。

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.
