Among these, the Fabbot desktop router is becoming part of a new generation of accessible fabrication equipment that challenges assumptions about scale, cost, and who gets to build with precision. This movement is not about hype but changing behaviors—how people approach designing, prototyping, and producing functional products on demand.
We are seeing a reversal of the old rule that high-quality manufacturing must happen far away, behind barriers of capital investment and specialized training. Instead, digital fabrication is planting roots in unlikely places. Educators use these machines as teaching tools, independent designers shape their...
