Time for updates!
This short video has been made using clips from over one year of development of FABtotum Alpha.
FABtotum Alpha is the working prototype to demonstrate a new type of personal fabrication device, the FABtotum.
We still want to be vague about the features and the capabilities of FABtotum, but let us assure you: Fabtotum is not another low-cost 3d printer, and soon you’ll discover why!

The development went on for almost one year and we are now basically trying to sort out the best way to show everything in depth.
We found that any claims at this point would not deliver our vision as we would like to, so we decided to focus this first video on the “process of making” instead of the “result”.
Doing so we like to stress the focus on detail and design process we had since the first days, a process so tight we where able to never accept compromises for our original vision.
Instead, we think we surpassed what we wanted in the first sketches, and we found that the Personal Fabrication paradigm we where trying with FABtotum was driving our design choices to new horizons.

We will update the blog more often as we get close to being ready (as stated almost one year ago we are aiming for an early 2013 public release,possibly during January/February).
In the meantime we updated the FAQs page.

There *should* also be a 20 minutes video documentary on personal fabrication we did to explain better our vision that is coming in the near future.

Also, As you can see the Fabtotum project has now his own Youtube channel, Yay!
We really -REALLY- encourage any feedback from you.
Not to get a +1 on the view counter but to hear what you think, what are your expectations, what impressed you the most.

Whoops!
We have experienced yesterday some major server problems that ended with us loosing some data from the mysql database, including the June,July and August updates.
We are however working hard to be able to show the machine and other things by the end of September,so we are not going to write down the old updates,instead the website will be improved and a documentation page will be added ASAP.

Thanks for your patience

the Fabtotum Team
