Description
The focus of Fablab Amersfoort is on recycling of materials. We want to become a sustainable Fablab.
We are always looking for nice new people who want to figure out more ways of re-using materials for use in the machines of the lab.
This FabLab has regular opening hours (see our website). Visitors are expected to contribute something to the lab. It works as follows: On arrival each visitor pays € 50 in cash. Visitors who share their designs or their knowledge and skills can get the money refunded on departure. Sharing can be done for example by writing a FabPublication. Visitors who don't want to contribute (due to time constraints or other reasons) can contribute financially. For example for the maintenance or acquisition of new machines.
