What is a Fab Lab?
The MIT-originated standard for digital fabrication — built for your campus.
A Fab Lab, or Fabrication Laboratory, is a shared machine shop that enables students, researchers, and entrepreneurs to design and build almost anything. The model began at MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms and is now used by institutions around the world.
Karkhana designs Fab Labs around the global equipment model, then adds the Indian institutional context: AICTE readiness, local curriculum integration, and hands-on activation that equipment-only installations often skip.
Core equipment stack
The machines that make a Fab Lab a Fab Lab.
FDM 3D printers
Build prototypes, jigs, models, prosthetics, and functional parts directly from CAD.
CNC router
Computer-controlled cutting and milling for furniture, moulds, architectural models, and custom components.
Vinyl cutter
Produces decals, stencils, graphic overlays, heat-transfer film, and wearables.
Electronics workstations
Soldering, oscilloscopes, multimeters, PCB design, and testing for circuits, sensors, and IoT devices.
3D scanner
Captures physical objects for reverse engineering, art, product design, and documentation.
What else we provide
Beyond the machines.
Space & safety design
Machine placement, ventilation, noise isolation, fire safety, workflow, and emergency egress.
Configured software suite
CAD, vector, PCB, laser, and CAM tools installed and ready for your selected equipment.
Staff & student training
Machine safety, SOP development, faculty capability building, and student induction.
Fab Lab management system
Booking, access control, maintenance schedules, usage analytics, and project documentation established before handover.
