? Makerfaire Vienna
As part of a european reflexion around distributed manufacture, the HappyLab Wien is hosting us to share the Fab City Store projects at the MakerFaire Vienna.
Two of the six selected teams will be chosen to come to Vienna with us for the MakerFaire to prototype a viennese version of their projects at HappyLab. It will be the opportunity to try the concept of distributed manufacturing, to meet our european partners, to discover other distributed projects and spend some times with the Fab City Store team !
