On September 23, 2022, another milestone was reached in the Fab City project, funded by dtec.bw. More prototypes of the Open Lab Starter Kit were presented. A large-format laser cutter and the world's largest open source 3D printer.
In collaboration between the Hamburger Klimaschutzstiftung and The New Production Institute, a research project for urban farming and farming robots was initiated in 2021 at Gut Karlshöhe.
We are developing a digital infrastructure that enables fab cities and regions to bundle the knowledge generated in global knowledge networks in the sense of commons-based peer production, and not only to produce locally in line with demand.
The promotion of local value-added structures has numerous potentials to meet current ecological, economic and social challenges.
Not only since the beginning of the corona pandemic has the introduction of digital educational elements profoundly influenced the educational process and the respective structures in learning institutions.
The Laboratory of Production Engineering (LaFT) has been supporting research and teaching with its own Open Lab at Helmut Schmidt University in Hamburg since December 2016.
The central goal of the project is to promote bottom-up innovation and interdisciplinary research in Tunisia through open fabrication and open-source hardware laboratories as part of the German government's Africa strategy.
The New Production Institute of the Manufacturing Technology Laboratory, headed by Prof. Dr. Jens P. Wulfsberg and Dr.-Ing. Tobias Redlich, supports the research and development of Hamburg into a Fab City and is supported in this by the Center for Digitization and Technology Research of the German Armed Forces (dtec.bw).
As part of the interdisciplinary research project Fab City, we are establishing a new type of urban value creation by means of decentralized and open production workshops (so-called open labs) in the Hamburg metropolitan region.
