The Digital Fabrication Laboratory (Fab Lab Ulima) allows the creation of functional prototypes that solve a real problem in society. It has capabilities for design and prototype acquisition through printing and other technologies, providing services to students in subjects such as Research Seminar and Technological Innovation Workshop. The intensive use of design software packages is an opportunity for product development; additionally, the use of reverse engineering is one of the main strengths of this laboratory.
Fab Lab Ulima participates in research, problem-solving, and the development of new technologies for the benefit of society. In collaboration with the Manufacturing and Electronics laboratories, Fab Lab Ulima brings to life projects with a social profile and business projects, such as the following:
Manufacturing of plastic injection molds, which are strengths for executing projects with Peru's industrial park. Precise carving of materials in three or more dimensions simultaneously. Development of electronic boards. Currently, work is being done with SMD circuits to achieve quite compact development boards.
Business Engineering student. She enjoys solving problems by applying digital fabrication tools.
Industrial Engineering student. He currently works in the Smart Factory laboratory.
Follow our group assignments each week.
During Week 12, we worked on the design and assembly of a small CNC machine as part of the group assignment. The goal was to understand how mechanical structure, motors, electronics, and control software work together to create precise movement in the X, Y, and Z axes.
After assembling the structure, we connected the stepper motors and tested the movement using OpenBuilds Control. This allowed us to verify the machine’s motion, adjust the axes, and understand the basic workflow of operating a CNC machine before using it for fabrication.
