About Jit Fab Lab
The Jit Fab Lab Makerspace in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Andrés Ibáñez, Bolivia, Bolivia, is a dedicated innovation centre for students, engineers, and creative professionals. it combines professional-grade fabrication equipment — including 3D printers, laser cutters, and microcontroller development kits — with a supportive community of makers and mentors. The lab actively supports the STEM ecosystem in Andrés Ibáñez by hosting workshops on topics ranging from robotics and AI to sustainable design and product development. Entrepreneurs benefit from rapid prototyping capabilities that compress the distance between idea and market-ready product. Jit Fab Lab stands as proof that when tools, knowledge, and community come together, extraordinary things are built.
Description
We give the service of product design and manufacturing specially for big companies and brands in our country in order to cover our fixed costs. But our true aim is to start a Fab Lab oppened for Public, and focused in the training of digital technologies for design and fabrication.
We have a very good relationship with Universities (one of us is a Design Professor) and also with students who visit us to help them with the fabrication of their products. So we are looking forward to offer the Fab Academy as a Postgraduate course hopefully starting on 2018.
We are also linked to the fab Lab Verde (Fab Lab Bolivia) Project, directed by Marco Zubieta.
These past 3 years we have been giving conferences about the Fab Labs, about digital fabrication, parametric design, and we have an Authorized Rhino Trainer in our team, so we also offer this service.
We plan to work dividing our company in 3 areas, one which would be the commercial service for brands and companies (and this is where our incomes mostly come from). The second area would be a design Gallery to exhibit the projects we develop within the fab lab. And the third area is precisely the Fab Lab, which is a team that develops research projects and keep closer with the community and social developments.
