AGENDA

Can you imagine transforming your ideas into tangible objects with just a few clicks? It’s time to turn that imagination into reality! In this workshop you will discover the exciting world of digital fabrication with a demonstration of the main techniques of scanning, 3D printing and laser cutting from a real model.
MISSION
The space was created as a forum for collaboration between individuals from diverse fields of expertise. It fosters synergies through direct experimentation, combining different technologies and the pedagogical method of learning by doing.
The documentation and dissemination of the creation process allows for iterative design improvements, which can then be shared with the entire maker community. This enables anyone to leverage the information to enhance and contribute to the project.
The advent of digital fabrication labs has opened the door to a new era of customized manufacturing, with a corresponding shift in production to a local scale. From a social perspective, it enables individuals to assume control of production techniques that address tangible issues in their daily lives or simply create products that are not currently available on the market.
A FAB LAB (Fabrication Laboratory) is a customized digital fabrication workshop with computer-controlled machines that enable the design and production of physical objects using rapid prototyping technology with additive and subtractive techniques, mixed-media forming methods, electronics, and programming. The facility boasts a range of advanced manufacturing equipment, including 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC milling machines, and a comprehensive array of traditional machining tools.
FAB LAB membership is contingent upon affiliation with a global network of laboratories, coordinated by the FAB Foundation. These laboratories adhere to a common ideology and maintain an inventory that facilitates the transfer of learning and collaborative creation. The concept of a FAB LAB originated in early 2001 as a distributed education project at the Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA) of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This project led to the establishment of the FAB Academy in 2009.
