ATU MakerSpace Pop-Up Fab Lab a success

Atlantic Technological University MakerSpace, in conjunction with the Local Enterprise Office Mayo, Údarás na Gaeltachta and European Digital Innovation Hubs Network's Data2Sustain was delighted to host a wonderful Pop-Up Fab Lab event on ATU's Mayo campus in Castlebar yesterday (Monday).

The aim of the event was to introduce local businesses, makers, producers, and designers to creative digital technologies, which can enhance their products, packaging, and prototypes.

ATU MakerSpace duo Stuart Lawn and Hassan Dabbagh spoke to the attendees about digital design, 3D printing, and laser cutting, all tools that have transformed traditional manufacturing. In turn, those in attendance shared their ideas about the wonderful projects they are working on, and some solutions they were seeking.

Monday’s Fab Lab was another in a series of events that is taking place across the West and North-West of Ireland over the Summer, with the collaborative partners having already hosted a similar day in Belmullet earlier this month.

Keep an eye out on social media for more details about our next such event in Sligo over the coming weeks.

 ATU MakerSpace is an ATU Higher Education 4.0 project, which is funded by the Human Capital Initiative (HCI) Pillar 3.
