The process of 3D printing involves printing layers of materials to create three-dimensional objects using digital equipment. Local makers are given access to fabrication labs equipped with technology to learn, and this incubation environment can develop future entrepreneurs. The fabrication city model emerged around 2011, developed by the MIT's Centre for Bits and Atoms and by over 1,000 Maker Centres that give local makers access to 3D printing and other production tools. There are also neighbourhoods and city clusters that facilitate the maker movement.
