At the Esther M. Klien Art Gallery:

Imagine being able to manufacture (almost) anything from your home – or 
at your office; from ceramic pottery to a custom iPod case. An upcoming 
show at the Klein Gallery at the Science Center will feature three 
dimensional works of art and design created from digital data.

The FAB Show will feature several digital fabricators or 'Fabbers' - 
small, self-contained factories that can make almost anything, right on 
your desktop. Fabbers use 3-D printing technology to create solid 
objects from digital data. The FAB Show will feature two open-source 
Fabber projects Fab at Home and MakerBot, along with artists, designers and 
researchers who are currently using this technology including 
Sabin+Jones LabStudio, Mark Ganter and Bathsheba Grossman. Throughout 
the run of this exhibition there will be live demonstrations and 
scheduled workshops for community members to interact with this emerging 
technology.
