<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">September 9, 2013 in Zurich, Switzerland</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">in conjunction with the</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2013)</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Recently, technologies for fabricating real-world objects and products that can be designed</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">and built directly by the end-user have decreased in costs and are increasingly common.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">These technologies are expected to have a great impact on society. However, there is a</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">great need to explore many novel research challenges and issues before the idea of</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">personal fabrication becomes truly pervasive and applicable to the wider public. Our workshop</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">is aimed at facilitating discussion and exploration of these challenges. We encourage</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">submissions of research papers, work-in-progress papers with interesting preliminary results,</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">and position papers. Attendance at the workshop is not limited, as anyone may register and</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">attend. The long-term goal is to gather a community of researchers and establish this workshop</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">as a leading forum for research dissemination in the area.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
