A Fab Lab (Fabrication Laboratory) is a technical prototyping platform where people can design and build their own products. Since beginning as an outreach program from MIT‘s Center for Bits and Atoms (CBA), the number of Fab Labs across the world are doubling every two years as institutions across the world are using Fab labs as a stimulus for promoting local entrepreneurship and to serve as a platform for learning and innovation.

With the support of the Government of Kerala, Kerala Startup Mission has setup Fab labs in association with the Center for Bits & Atoms, MIT, USA at Technopark, Trivandrum and Technology Innovation Zone, Kochi. Fab Lab Kerala offers design and fabrication services and training and also gives Fab Academy graduates access to advanced machines for prototyping.
