Description
We are a digital fabrication facility providing enterprises, creatives, schools and hobbyists access to a wide range of fabrication technologies that allow them to turn their ideas into new prototypes and products.
We have created the Fab Lab to service the whole of the North West of Ireland and this area is renowned for innovation in both the Arts and Industry and boasts some of Irelands leading design, manufacturing and artistic organisations and individuals.
Users have an unprecedented opportunity to access state of the art digital tools within a community setting and the addition of the Fab Lab to the area will provide a source of innovation, empowerment, education and new business development.
We also run a training programme with the Arts and Enterprise offices of Sligo, Leitrim and Roscommon called Creative Heartlands which is aimed at engaging the arts, craft and design practitioners in using more digital technology in their practices. See www.creativeheartlands.com for more details.
