“Ok guys, I have some news. I’m moving back to France at the end of the year. – What about us? What about Fablab Saigon? – Well you know what? YOU are Fablab Saigon. So it’s up to you!” This is the conversation I had with the Fablab Saigon team last September. And in October, Fablab…
It has been 2 years and a half since our Fablab Saigon established. It’s not long enough to validate the success, but it’s not too short for us to feel fulfilled when we look back the past time. We write this post to review the whole journey we have been through. There was bad and good time,…

As we sat in for more lab reviews this morning, I realized that I was not bored because today’s talks highlighted a different aspect of fabrication. Often we make something because we have a practical use for it, or we just want to play with it. However, Fablab Dynamic and Makerbar Taipei make things designed to address a social or…
