FabAcademy 2019
ABOUT Fab Academy
The Fab Academy is a Digital Fabrication Program directed by Neil Gershenfeld of MIT’s Center For Bits and Atoms and based on MIT’s rapid prototyping course. The Fab Academy began as an outreach project from the CBA, and has since spread to Fab Labs around the world. The program provides advanced digital fabrication instruction for students through an unique, hands-on curriculum and access to technological tools and resources.
DURATION
The Fab Academy is a program with a duration of five months, taught by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-MIT by the creator of the Fablabs, Neil Gershenfeld, with the collaboration of important experts worldwide.
GOALS
In this program, participants will be introduced, in a totally practical way, to the world of rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing from the most elementary to the development of an integrated project through design, electronics and 3D printing, among other techniques.
ABOUT ME
Hello, my name is IVAN CALLUPE, I'm from Lima Peru. I am a doctor and I am currently doing a specialization in tramautology and orthopedics. Now I am working in a public hospital in Callao-Peru.
I like to design equipment for patients. because my hospital is very poor and does not have many resources.
I like electronics and mechanics, I studied industrial electricity many years ago.

Medical DoctorABOUT MY PROJECT
Arthroscopy is a device widely used in traumatology. Especially in meniscal and ligament injuries of the knee. These types of injuries are very frequent (in athletes and non-athletes). Therefore, a traumatologist must be trained to handle this type of devices.
What is an arhtroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure on a joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
Training Centers
There are many training centers that have simulators. That help the surgeon to practice and know the management of these devices.
DISADVANTAGES
The training courses have a high cost. In addition, the teaching time is only a few days. If you want to buy similar equipment, the cost is thousands of dollars.
FAB LAB TECSUP
Tecsup is a private educational organization dedicated to training professionals, as well as providing consulting, research and technology application services.
