Description

FabLab Namibia is a one of a kind facility, where off the bat we designed a creative space using modular housing containers, a fresh and out there studio setup to address the local needs of our entrepreneurs and SME's through years of research and development the lab is now almost completely setup. We have a dedicated garment technology centre, with knife cutting machine for fabric but also packaging and shoes etc, embroidery machine and various sewing machines. The software we run here is Optitex, Creative Drawings. Downstairs we have an electronics workbench, 3D Scanners and printers, Epilog Laser Cutter, Routers, Shopbot, Vacuum Former and various tools like bench press and drill, Vinyl cutters and printers and a Moulding and Casting Centre.

Through the software (Inkscape, Corel Draw, Adobe Creative Suite, Various opensource, Solidworks) and machinery offered we do specialised trainings on things like packaging ad labelling, which include standards that need to be adhered to, but we are open to all types of members to give them access to spark new ideas and products through new technologies. We have the belief that anyone can do anything, with the right amount of passion and commitment, we aim to help them reach these goals and spur on a new and vibrant community of makers.
