"The Fab Lab has a partnership with the Department of Tourism of the city of Recife in the realization of the project and with the support of CESAR - Center of Studies and Advanced Systems of Recife.
The platform is an alternative, open and collaborative space for professionals, students and onlookers can gather to chat, and primarily materialize their ideas.
A Fab Lab aims to democratize access to the tools and machines to enable the invention and personal expressions.
The concept originated as an extension project at the Center for Bits and Atoms at MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology - headed by Professor Neil Gershenfeld, in order to do research for digital manufacturing."
