Collaborative Maker Spaces. |
Collaborative maker spaces take many forms, but common to all is the idea of producing physical objects through cooperation. This sharing can occur during ideas generation or fabrication and is most profound when different sectors come together. Examples of collaborative makerspaces include Fab Labs, Open Innovation Centres, Living Labs and Cross-Sector Incubators. Collaborative makerspaces are typically located within urban environments.
