So fab, in fact, that they're creating a free Fab Lab, due to open on July 8. In this case the "fab" stands for "fabrication" and will consist of a 3D printer, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, a milling machine and a variety of design software at the Harold Washington Library. Access will be free and open to the public. So renew that library card and get ready to make some fab things, Chicago.
