The lab actively supports the STEM ecosystem in Gipuzkoa 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. Lurlab Ataun stands as proof that when tools, knowledge, and community come together, extraordinary things are built.
Description
Currently, we're planning to move our headquarters to a larger building, a former factory, which will allow us to expand our activities. We're also working on opening new permanent facilities in Mutiloa and Itziar, increasing our impact across the region.
In late 2022, we launched LURLAB mobile. This is a project that takes digital fabrication tools, like 3D printers and CNC milling machines, directly to local communities. We offer workshops that help people learn about these technologies and encourage creativity.
Our goal with these projects is to meet the cultural and educational needs of the communities we serve. By doing so, we hope to promote creativity and contribute to the cultural life of the Basque Country.
