From campus fabrication labs and innovation studios to student workshops – Fabman helps universities give students safe, accountable, 24/7 access to their machines.
Universities around the world already run their makerspaces on Fabman.
One system for students, staff, and every machine on campus.
Make training courses mandatory before students can switch on a machine. Set training to expire so everyone re-certifies each semester or year.
Fabman Bridges support WPA2 Enterprise, so they connect straight to eduroam-style campus WiFi without a separate network.
Attach signed safety waivers to student profiles and machine manuals to your equipment – so the right document is always a click away.
A detailed activity log records who used which machine and when – invaluable when something breaks or a safety question comes up.
Manage every lab across your campus – or several campuses – from a single account, and let members roam between them.
The member portal speaks your students’ language, with automatic browser-language detection and manual selection.
Fabman’s full functionality and data are available through our open JSON API – ideal for connecting campus systems or automating enrolment.
The community has already built plenty of tools on top of it. For example, a researcher at the University of Texas at Austin has published an open-source Python library for the Fabman API.
