Fab.Pub

Fab.Pub The Make-It-Yourself Space on Hackney Road. Use our large-scale Laser Cutter & 3D Printer FabPub is a sister company to Mamou-Mani Architects.

FabPub (Fabrication Publique) started in an old pub near Hoxton Square in Shoreditch, London. It is now locate in the heart of the "MakerMile" on Hackney Road, one square mile of Maker culture. Our dream is to empower everyone's creativity - We want you to create and make your own designs and products, not just buy them off-the-shelf. FabPub wants you to access and use fabrication machines that we

re once in remote factories by putting them on the high street and training you to use them on a self-service basis.

For Chilly’s, we developed a series of large-scale 3D printed retail plinths using LFAM (Large Format Additive Manufacturing).

What looks simple on the outside involved extensive material and geometry testing behind the scenes.

Printing straight solid walls at this scale is always a challenge, which pushed us to develop an internal wavy rib system that helped stabilise the geometry while also creating a built-in lip for CNC-cut tops made from recycled plastic sheet ♻️

In line with Chilly’s sustainability goals, the plinths were produced using plant-based materials alongside recycled materials, with end-of-life take-back considered from the start.

To further reduce print time and material use, the bases were produced separately using CNC-cut plywood components.

A project shaped as much by fabrication logic as by retail design.

Made by Fab.Pub for Chilly’s.

We’re excited to announce a new research partnership between Fab.Pub and University College London (), supported by a BBSRC Innovation Grant, exploring the future of circular bioplastics for architecture, design, and fabrication.

Together with researchers from UCL’s Plastic Waste Innovation Hub and Institute of Making, we’ll be investigating how PLA-based bioplastics can be recycled, tested, and reintroduced into real-world manufacturing workflows.

The collaboration brings together scientific research, material innovation, and large-scale digital fabrication to explore how waste materials can become part of a more circular production system.

At Fab.Pub, we’ve already been developing in-house recycling workflows for 3D printing materials. This partnership allows us to take that further through material testing, process optimisation, and experimentation with next-generation biodegradable polymers.

This is not just about creating new materials.
It’s about rethinking how materials are used, reused, and designed for the future.

In collaboration with UCL’s Plastic Waste Innovation Hub and Institute of Making.

Not just patterns. A way of building.

The Mandala Collection turns parametric design into structure, where pattern is no longer surface, but part of how the object holds.

Printed layer by layer in London, using sustainable materials.

Each piece is part of a larger system. Repeatable, adaptable, and designed to fit into real spaces.

Be part of the journey to witness how this evolves, from code to object, from object to space.

What happens to a 3D print that doesn’t make the final cut?

At Fab.Pub, it doesn’t go to waste.

We collect, sort and reprocess test prints, prototypes, and material offcuts, turning them back into raw material ready for the next iteration.

Collected → Sorted → Reprocessed → Reprinted
And it doesn’t stop there.

Through our Take-Back Scheme, selected 3D-printed items produced by Fab.Pub can be returned and reprocessed back into the cycle.

Because the future of fabrication isn’t just about making.
It’s about remaking. ♻️

We had the opportunity to contribute to a true centrepiece, a feature designed to anchor the experience of arrival.

From the chandelier design by and , we were commissioned to 3D print the diffusion rings for the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich, Connecticut, working in close collaboration with the wider team.

The result is an immersive, hospitality-driven installation, eight complex tubular rings forming a 4.6m diameter composition, suspended within the atrium. More than lighting, it acts as a spatial device, softening the scale, guiding the eye, and setting a calm, ambient tone for guests as they move through the space.

Our role focused on developing the 3D printed diffusion components, including extensive design and engineering in collaboration with the team to ensure tight-fitting connections, precise assembly, and the desired quality of light diffusion.

Using a 6-axis robotic printer, we introduced a custom algorithm that adapts layer heights to curvature, allowing for controlled, cantilevered geometries with both structural integrity and visual lightness.

Material played a key role in the atmosphere. We developed a bespoke, fire-retardant translucent PLA in-house, tuned to diffuse light evenly and warmly, enhancing comfort while meeting strict hospitality and safety requirements.

This is where architecture becomes experience, where material, light, and technology come together to shape how a space is felt, not just seen.

If you are looking to create a distinctive feature for a hospitality environment, something that defines identity and elevates the guest experience, get in touch.

Want to try 3D printing yourself?

At Fab.Pub, you can use our Prusa 3D printers on a self-service basis and bring your own ideas to life. Whether it’s a small object, a prototype, or something more experimental.

Our DIY printing setup is perfect if you’re comfortable preparing your own files and want hands-on access to the machines. You book a session, come into the studio, and print your project yourself.

New to it? No problem. We’re there to guide you if needed.

Fab.Pub stands for Fabrication Public. Our mission is to make digital fabrication open and accessible. A space where you can test, learn and create.

Textures & lights.✨
For us, 3D printing goes far beyond form. It’s about how surfaces catch and diffuse light, how each printed layer builds a unique texture, and how these elements shift the way a piece is perceived.

We’re constantly exploring the dialogue between light and material. From raw, translucent prints that softly glow, to painted finishes that absorb and reflect, from subtle gradients to deeply tactile patterns.

Closing the loop ♻️
We’ve now processed 98% of our failed prints, ready to be repurposed into new creations.For context, that’s around 4.5 tonnes of material.

Tracking this matters. It gives us real insight into how much we produce, what we waste, and where we can improve.
The goal isn’t just to recycle, but to reduce. Less waste, smarter processes, and more circular ways of making.

We met His Majesty The King during the Circularity in Practice launch in Manchester in March.

Around 60% of ALL waste in the UK comes from construction, demolition and excavation. A clear signal that the way we design and make needs to change.

As signatories of Circularity in Practice, Fab.Pub and are part of a nationwide initiative inspired by His Majesty The King to accelerate circular solutions across the built environment.

In March, we joined the launch at the Renew Hub in Greater Manchester, presenting our Mobile Factory as a working example of circular fabrication in action.

Through robotic 3D printing and digital manufacturing, we explore how materials can stay in use for longer, how waste can be reduced, and how components can be reused or reconfigured.

In practice, circularity is about maintaining material value at its highest level for as long as possible. Through reuse, remanufacturing and high-quality recycling.

For us, this is both a design and fabrication challenge. Through material-led experimentation and digital processes, we are testing how circular thinking can become part of everyday making, not an afterthought.

As part of this initiative, we join a growing network of organisations working to make circular solutions visible, practical and commercially viable.

A small object, scaled up 🥠
The Fortune Cookie Project is a large-scale 3D-printed installation, fabricated in 24 parts and assembled into one sculptural form.

Printed in bio-based PLA at Fab.Pub, the piece explores geometry, material optimisation, and digital fabrication at architectural scale.

But the process does not stop at printing. Each element is carefully post-processed using resin, paint, and hand finishing to smooth the layers and transform the surface. The result does not need to look like a typical 3D print. It becomes a crafted architectural object.
