Fab Lab Limerick started in 2012 as an elective course in which undergraduate students built open source 3D printers, CNC routers and laser cutters. In 2014 this self-build equipment was moved to an abandoned building in the city centre owned by Limerick City Council. Since then, Fab Lab Limerick has evolved into fully functional digital fabrication laboratory that offers cultural, educational and research programmes on digital fabrication, bridging the gap between these technologies and creatives from all disciplines.
