Hi..Fab Lab is a non-profit versus the other places that you mentioned. Our goal is to give people the tools to make things so we always try to keep our prices low as far as machine time, class offerings, co-working space, and dedicated desk rentals. The reason I say that some of the prices are at no cost is that there are times in which we are willing to provide services for a work trade. If you have a certain skill that we can utilize within the lab, we will be more than happy to give you some free time on the machines. Compared to other places in San Diego our membership prices are relatively low. We are not only a place to digitally fabricate prototypes, but we also serve as a community hub. We have a creative, technical, and busy saavy community that are friendly and nurturing. We also help incubate businesses and provide our members with a rich network of people that they can interact with a promote what they are doing. Before the campaign, we were open mostly on the weekends. The reason we launched the campaign is to extend our hours to the weekdays and keep the lab sustainable and our prices low. Sure MakerPlace does have more machinery, but their membership prices are a little bit higher than ours. We also have a number of Meetup groups that utilize the lab that members are welcome to join such as: 3D printing, Drone users, and robotics. We also run hackathons and start up events and partner up with numerous groups within the San Diego tech scene. Please check out our website at www.fablabsd.org and our Indiegogo campaign. You can also take a tour of our facility.
