Laboratori de Fabricació is an ongoing exhibition hosted at Disseny Hub Barcelona, which started a month ago and will change its face many times till may of 2011.
Laboratori de Fabricació presents an analysis of the new 3D digital fabrication technologies that are leading to radical changes in design and production processes.
The expo is hosting an active digital fabrication laboratory, named DHUB FAB, which is a derivation of the original Fab Lab, and many other parallel activities.
The design process for the graphic suite of this exhibition started from a classical icon of the industrial design process: the production chain. This basic object assumes strange behaviors and evolves in the different applications on various graphic supports: it turns, it twists, it moves upside down, becoming a vague abstract representation of what it meant originally and reflecting the problems of industrial production in the era of digital fabrication.

Here is what remains at the end of the whole design journey:
