This group is for helping establish a "makespace" based in Cambridge, UK.

"makespace" is looking to bring the FabLab concept to Cambridge. A FabLab consists of:
  * A community prototyping lab, equipped with soldering stations, 2d laser cutter, 3d printer, etc
  * An associated network to bring together enthusiasts and innovators, the prototyping industry, consultants, businesses and educational communities in a mutually beneficial way

It is aiming to reach people from all across the East of England, using Cambridge as the initial hub. We have a potential funding opportunity if there is demand, so want to hear from:

  * Community members, enthusiasts, and educational groups who could benefit from a lab in which to work together, network, socialise, and draw on the expertise of others

  * People working within local industries looking to innovate in ways that require new skills, equipment and contacts 

  * Companies and consultancies that support innovation and prototyping, and who could provide training, support, leading to the sale of their services 

   * Innovators needing to produce physical prototypes to further their ideas 

If this could include you, please help make this a reality by joining now, telling us: 

  * Who you are, and any company/group affiliation
  * What you could contribute to and/or how you could benefit from makespace
  * Any other ideas, requirements or suggestions to improve such a project
