Maker originated from Fab Lab (Personal Manufacturing Laboratory) initiated by the Center for Bits and Atoms Research (CBA) of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Based on the development of social technology from personal communication to personal computing to personal manufacturing, Fab Lab tries to build a user-centered and application-oriented innovative manufacturing environment for users, which integrates creativity, design, manufacturing, debugging, analysis and document management. Invention and creation will not only happen in universities or research institutions with expensive experimental equipment, nor will it only belong to a few professional researchers, but will have the opportunity to be completed by anyone anywhere. This is the core idea of Fab Lab. The extensive development of Fab Lab network has driven the wave of personal design and personal manufacturing, and the maker space came into being.
Domestic maker space belongs to the initial stage, and the creative source mainly comes from foreign open source websites, and has not yet formed a distinctive sustainable development model. In addition to the individual maker space belonging to the comprehensive platform, the specialization trend of the maker space in the future is inevitable. The business model and operation model of Maker Space itself are also worth exploring and exploring.
