Fab Lab UTEC is a digital fabrication and prototyping lab in UTEC University in Lima, Peru.
The lab is adscribed to the Industrial Engineering Department, however, it serves students and faculty from all the Departments.
Our main line of work deals with Project Based Learning, especially regarding the Engineering Projects Workshop (a cross-department course) and Product Design and Prototyping.
Our educational offer includes Courses for kids and teenagers.
If our Fab Lab was to be a person, it would Probably be a mix of a Ronin Samurai (looking for someone to serve and problems to solve) and a craftsman (since craftsmanship is more about the practice of making something original, but not necessarily unique)
It is because of this that we try to cover both the design and engineering aspects of the Product Development process, trying to stimulate our students to work together and create compelling and interesting solutions.
This is our Third year in the Fab Academy Program and we have currently three students enrolled:
During the last weeks, while also working on his final Project, Jonathan worked on a 2d CNC plotter. It was controlled via Universal G-code sender using GRBL
