We are a research FabLab at the DesignLab School of Design UAI.
The UAI has founded the first Fab Lab in the country in 2011, which is part of this network, and is a direct access to the most innovative technologies and a window to the technologies they are inventing, leading the global advance on various issues. The Design Lab today has a Fab Lab in Santiago on the Peñalolén Campus and another Fab Lab on the Viña del Mar Campus. In terms of equipment and infrastructure, the largest of these digital fabrication laboratories is that of Santiago, which has 4 spaces dedicated to these equipment, which in turn have the requirements of use and safety that imply different spatial conditions. Of these, a prototype laboratory, an industrial process laboratory, a welding, forge and foundry workshop and a small biomaterial and microscopy laboratory. In Viña del Mar, on the other hand, a single cozy space for prototyping equipment and research equipment and material tests.
