Maker refers to a maker who prefers personal design, personal manufacturing and personal creation.
"Maker" refers to a person who does not take profit as the goal and strives to turn various ideas into reality. This word is translated from the English word "Maker" and comes from the experimental project of the micro-assembly laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This project takes innovation as the concept, takes customers as the center, and takes personal design and personal manufacturing as the core content. The students who participate in the experimental project are called "makers" (for the origin of makers, please refer to Fab Lab Innovation Model and its Enlightenment). Maker takes user innovation as the core concept, which is a typical performance of the innovation 2.0 model in the field of design and manufacturing. Fab Lab and its innovative 2.0 model, represented by Maker, are based on the development of social technology from personal communication to personal computing to personal manufacturing, trying to build a user-centered and application-oriented user innovation environment integrating creativity, design and manufacturing.
