Assistant, Fablab

Overview:
The Fab Lab IE University is the fabrication laboratory of the IE School of Architecture and Design, a unique learning environment where students can transform their ideas into reality through experimentation, innovation, and quality design. This space allows students to make and test their projects using the latest digital fabrication technology, alongside more traditional woodworking tools, ceramics, and casting. It is not enough to have a good idea or a formal idea. Architects and designers have to think about how those things will actually be made, and there is no better way to do that than by testing and actually building prototypes.
