About Fablab La Salle Chihuahua
Fablab La Salle Chihuahua in Chihuahua, Mexico is more than a workspace — it is a launchpad for innovation in Mexico. the lab offers state-of-the-art equipment, including 3D printers, laser engravers, electronics benches, and CAD workstations, within a collaborative, community-driven environment. Startups use the space to build early-stage hardware prototypes; educators run practical STEM sessions for school groups; and independent makers pursue personal projects with expert support on hand. Regular themed hackathons and innovation challenges help participants push boundaries and connect with like-minded creators across Chihuahua. With a strong focus on learning by doing, Fablab La Salle Chihuahua embodies the global maker movement's ethos of open, collaborative, hands-on creativity.
Description
Raising the development of effective prototypes has become in a need to combine technology and knowledge, parallel to give it a better use and in multidisciplinary groups. It will be the place where the users can access to the prototypes creation and translate them into profitable businesses ideas, which will open its doors to the community.
The Fab Lab focuses on promoting these areas: industrial, prosthetic manufacturing, packaging design, structural manufacturing, machining of parts, electronic circuits, architectural elements, urban elements, pressure and flow simulation.
The linking process between the academy, the industry, the society and the government, is the key to increase the competitiveness level of a country or region. At the regional level, the establishment of a second Fab Lab for the municipality of Chihuahua and a fourth for the State will make an impact where the influx of students at the University is expected to increase, as this model will help to attract students who have the inquisitiveness of studying in an institution that has an innovation ecosystem.
Based on this, creative projects will be obtained that will be candidates for a more specialized service such as acceleration and even reach a patent, since currently the Chihuahua city in 2018 had only 17 invention applications (IMPI, Mexican Institute of the Industrial Property by its acronym in Spanish, 2018), thus being able to rule as a means or facilitator to develop more registrable products
The Fab Lab will be equipped with:
• 3D Printer
• Numerical Control Machining
• Milling machine
• CNC Router
• Laser cutter
• Vinyl cutter
• 3D Scanner
