Mission: fab labs are a global network of local laboratories, which make invention possible by giving individuals access to digital manufacturing tools.
Access: you can use the fab lab to make almost anything (as long as it doesn't harm anyone); you must learn to make it yourself, and you must share the use of the lab with other users and users.
Business: commercial activities can be initiated in fab labs, but they should not prevent open access. They must develop beyond the lab rather than within it and in turn benefit the inventors, labs, and networks that have contributed to their success.
