Digital Fabrication Lab​

Digital Fabrication lab

BNCA’S – FABLAB is essentially a Maker’s space and facility. Incrementally developed since 2010 the BNCA-FABLAB provides precision prototyping equipment for wood, plastics, metals as well as a complement of rapid prototyping tools including laser cutting, 3D printing, and now a six KUKA Kr 30-3 with a milling spindle to allow all kind of milling solutions that challenge the dexterity of hands.

We provide an environment wherein we bring in our inventory of core competencies and a fabulous array of digital machinery to let people work together on complex projects to make almost anything.

The BNCA-FABLAB is an evolving ecosystem and has been a continued leader among academic institutions in India utilizing machine automation to perform both subtractive and additive manufacturing processes for architectural prototyping.

Currently the FABLAB houses laser cutting & engraving machines, CNC router & milling machine, 3D printers and Dremel toolkits providing the ability to work at a wide range of material scales. The Laboratory has three work cells namely, the laser work cell with two laser cutting & engraving machines, the 3D printing work cell with two 3D printers and the robotic fabrication work cell with a CNC router & milling machine and a 6 – Axis Kuka robot. The Digital tools are supported by electronic kits [ARDUINO based] and traditional analog hand tools
