VIVA Lab

VIVA Lab is one of the 2,000 digital fabrication laboratories in the Fab Lab's worldwide network that aims to democratize access to personal and collaborative invention, using digital technologies to make (almost) anything.

​

A space open to the public with manual & digital tools, so that you can develop and materialize your ideas! Here we combine our pedagogical experience and product development, with technological tools of the 21st century and the Maker culture.

In this creative space of excellence we have the opportunity to surprise ourselves, collaborate with unlikely partners, take risks and try new things. This environment of freedom helps to change ways of thinking, to visualize ideas and to put them into practice.

Co-Founder & Chief Innovation Officer at Wikifactory

VIVA Lab have been proving an agility in product development to generate solutions that any formal company would wish to have.
Adopting design- thinking excellence, they have understood local needs and designed solutions fast.
In a span of a couple weeks, they had shared on our platform for hosting digital fabrication projects a range that I have yet to see a maker group be as quick to deploy.
