Irvine, California-based wide format printer manufacturer Roland DG Corp. announces that it will be one of the key sponsors of Fab11, the 11th annual meeting of the global Fab Lab community, taking place at theMassachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston in August.

The event is expected to draw hundreds of attendees from around the world to the MIT campus, which was the birthplace of the Fab Lab concept.

Under the theme “The Possibilities Are Endless,” Roland DG will supply a wide range of its digital products for demonstration and use by Fab11 attendees, including 3D milling machines, a 3D printer, vinyl cutters, wide-format inkjet printers and UV benchtop flatbed printers. Roland DG will also present a workshop titled “Customization of Fab Modules with the Roland DG SRM-20 CNC Machine” which will include a demonstration of a hacked SRM-20 mill and discuss the possibilities of open source hardware and software and their importance for the future of digital fabrication.

A Fab Lab is an open workshop offering digital fabrication as well as analog tools with the aim to make “almost anything.” There are currently more than 450 Fab Labs in more than 55 countries.
