About
FabCafe Tokyo (ファブカフェ) is Japan's first "digital making" cafe, opened on March 7, 2012 in Shibuya Dogenzaka by Loftwork Inc. Equipped with laser cutters, UV printers, 3D printers, and cutting machines, it is a space where you can enjoy "making things" while drinking coffee. "FAB" is a double meaning of "FABrication" (making) and "FABulous" - aiming to be a place of creation not bound by mass production or market logic.
— Coffee, and a laser cutter
Inside, the constantly available equipment includes laser cutters, UV printers, compact 3D printers, and cutting machines. Materials like wood, acrylic, leather, and plastic can be laser-cut or printed, so it functions as a "making" site for everyone from professional creators to personal hobbyists. It also works as coworking space with Wi-Fi and power outlets. About 200 events and workshops are held each year, bringing together creators from many fields. Since opening in Shibuya in 2012, the network has expanded to Hida, Taipei, Barcelona, Bangkok, Toulouse, Singapore, and Mexico - each independent site sharing the same mission and concept, in a globally connected form.
