Pyfab
Python library for fab/lab control
Allows one to program fablab (factory and/or laboratory) in the same way as we program computer.
Imagine commands like: "dim screw12 as new screw" or "mold(form_piston_081212, brass)" or ''gear(3)=lasercut(steel2,"biggear.gc")".
This approach will let us program highly automated and self-deploying or even self-replicating factories.
I am more engineer than programmer and just beginner in python. So it looks like community help will be needed :)
