C -Fabrication Laboratory is constructed by Sichuan University and operated by National University Science Park of Sichuan University, where located in the incubator of Sichuan University for High-Tech Enterprise. The laboratory is aimed at groups with innovative entrepreneurial needs, focusing on digital manufacturing, intelligent hardware and the direction of the Internet of Things. It can provide a full-featured service system from creative stimulating to product prototyping and marketization. And C-Lab is a small factory that can manufacture almost any product and tool, it is also an innovative entrepreneurial community that integrates education, communication, sharing, practice, commercial operation and angel investment.
The construction of the laboratory combines the standards of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Fab Lab, including the digital manufacturing area, the manufacturing area, and the electronics production area. At C-Lab, Maker can develop brain power to conceive product models, use modular programs to program, and assemble with a variety of tools, which can transform ideas into prototypes in the shortest possible time and minimize the time it takes to convert a concept into a sample, reducing the difficulty of starting a business and bringing technology closer to life. At present, C-Lab has 3D printing, 3D scanning, laser engraving, CNC machining (three-axis CNC, five-axis CNC), cutting plotter, manual drilling machine, grinder, oscilloscope and other instruments to meet the whole process of the production of creative programming, printing, cutting, processing, and assembly.
