About Fab Lab Pucp

Fab Lab Pucp is a community Makerspace in San Miguel, Peru, Peru. it provides open access to digital fabrication tools, electronics labs, and collaborative workspaces for students, educators, entrepreneurs, and independent makers. Members can work with 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC routers, and electronics prototyping equipment to turn ideas into functional prototypes. The space hosts regular STEM workshops, coding sprints, and design thinking sessions that attract talent from across Peru. Whether you are a first-time maker or a seasoned hardware engineer, Fab Lab Pucp offers the tools, community, and mentorship needed to build, iterate, and innovate — making it one of the most valuable innovation resources in Peru.

Description

The lab is a project promoted by the “Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú” and is composed of a multidisciplinary team specialized in design and digital manufacturing and has the equipment to give technological support. It provides digital manufacturing services, design consultancies and training, and also develops research and innovation projects.

Detail of services:
- Training: courses and workshops are offered focused on providing the necessary knowledge for the analysis, design and development of products. The main methodologies of innovation, design and engineering of products are taught as well as the necessary tools for their manufacture.
In addition, specialized additive manufacturing courses are offered, which provide a global overview of 3D printing technologies, the operation of the systems, the different fields of application, and the use and maintenance of the equipment. We complement these subjects by giving specialized training on software and parameters focused on 3D printing.

- Product development and design service: the product development and design service seek to integrate innovation methodologies with the use of new digital manufacturing technologies, in order to provide better solutions, as well as reduce costs and manufacturing time. We use 3D printing technologies to generate prototypes; thereby, we perform the form and function tests of the product in a short time, at low cost and with very similar characteristics to the final product.

- 3D scanning service: through a 3D scanning equipment, we obtain the dimensional and geometric data of an object, with this information we can create a three-dimensional digital model that can be used for reverse engineering, inspection, design, among others.

- 3D printing service and laser cutting.- We support the industry and the university community in the development of projects through the consultancy and manufacturing of products by 3D printing and laser cutting technologies. We convert any CAD design into a physical object, in less time than it would take with traditional manufacturing. By means of digital manufacturing technologies, we can materialize formal and functional prototypes, molds, dies and end-use parts, which can be used in different sectors.
