FabLab Budapest

Summer break with no break /// Service bulletin

FabLab will be on summer break from the 2nd of July to the 30th of August. It is relatively long because, at this time, the machines need maintenance and upgrades, and the downtown workshop requires a ritual tidying up, so we continue with the setup of FabLabXL.

The year so far has been challenging due to the workload the projects and our users have given us. We are happy to be this active in the international FabLab network. So, the break won't affect our upcoming programs within the Distributed Design project, our work in progress, or our preparation. Also, our on-demand fabrication services are accessible.

During the break, we will also focus on developing our business services and communicating about the projects we have been so busy with in the past months.

We wish you all a nice summer!

TEASER: We will organize a garage sale for some of our machines, equipment, and leftover materials.
