Andrew Lamb and Antonio Anaya will be hosting workshops, working groups, and ‘FabBlasts’ at Fab Festival México 2024. Their 5-minute ‘FabBlasts’ will cover topics like the use of FabLabs as a tool for social integration for vulnerable groups, open catalogue business models for Makerspaces, and how to use the Internet of Production to get the most out of the network of your FabLab. Their workshops and working groups will cover data collection for distributed manufacturing resources, and the resilience of FabLabs even under extreme conditions.
