Button making is not new, but it sure is fun and we consider it our gateway making project for the Fab Lab!
The Fab Lab has multiple button presses, which are able to produce buttons with customized designs. Users can create a design in a graphics software like Adobe Illustrator, then print it onto a button template. The template is then punched into rounds and placed into the button press, along with a button shell, and the actuation of the press binds the assembly together into a finished button.
