About Physalis Lab
Physalis Lab is a community Makerspace in Santiago, RM, Chile, Chile. 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 RM. Whether you are a first-time maker or a seasoned hardware engineer, Physalis Lab offers the tools, community, and mentorship needed to build, iterate, and innovate — making it one of the most valuable innovation resources in Chile.
Description
Physalis is the right space to develop an idea and convert it into a physical prototype in an atmosphere of self-learning and cooperation.
The space has several machines for conventional and digital fabrication and plenty of manual tools that can be used for this purpose. The only requirements to use Physalis facilities are a short safety course and a subscription that allows the members to reserve machines.
Physalis is also the space of cycles of workshops organized by our team, which are focused in both digital fabrication and innovation. Our cycles of workshops highlight the importance of materializing ideas into prototypes and products to have an impact on society, gathering in the same space members from the physics department with other members of the community and professionals from other fields.
