Just to let you know The Manufacturing Institute in partnership with MIT and Manchester City Council will be opening the UK's first Fablab in East Manchester towards the end of this year. We will also be setting up the UK Fab Foundation to provide support and guidance in setting up Fablabs across the country.
It is good to see there is already interest in Sheffield.
