π³πππππππππ,
is outfitted with high-powered carving machines to create local products that embody
Catandunganonsβ creativity and ingenuity.
Situated on the left wing of the
University, this facility has carved a niche for itself in the hearts of locals
and visitors with its high-quality arts and crafts.
At the core of these innovations
are the high-powered carving machines, including a CO2 laser cutting and
engraving machine, enhanced with an all-in-one Multi-tool 3D printer, a Desktop
Plastic 3D Printer, and a Carbon Fiber 3D printer capable of engraving images
and text into wood within minutes.
All this equipment was managed by
the talented and skillful hands of the Fablab designated manager, Prof. Edmund
Salvador, with his empowered staff and the steadfast support of the
universityβs College of Industrial and Technology (CIT).
Adjacent to the facility is an
office dedicated to indigenous and recycled materials, where CIT students
meticulously refine handicrafts. These include items like baskets, vases,
bracelets, and key chains, to name a few.
Expanding its reach, the facility
opens its doors to everyone, offering basic training for willing individuals to
enhance the competitiveness of their products and expand their market.
This initiative aims to inspire
people and unlock their potential to become entrepreneurs in their own right
through the humble office.
With a hub where artistry knows
no bounds, the facility helps local products reach new heights and compete with
the ever-changing world. #AClemente
