Description
We organized among ourselves, we bought some tools, rented a place and started the Fablab.
The Fablab contains 3D printers, a desktop CNC, an lathe machine, a miling machine and all the tools necessary for circuit making.
Our FabLab is situated in Esenyurt area of Istanbul. This area is known to accommodate several tens of thousands Syrian and Iraqi expatriates, since many of them cannot find a suitable Fablab in Istanbul because of the language gap, we decided to provide a creative environment for the Arabic speaking community in Istanbul.
