Tools are only the beginning — what gets made here is skill, ideas and the confidence to carry them out.
Since November 2019 our home has been Ilica 69 — part of the former Mega zipper factory. The space was in poor shape when we took it on, so we rebuilt it with our own hands: new heating, sanitation, work zones. The pandemic and the Zagreb earthquake of 22 March 2020 slowed the renovation, but since June 2020 our hundred square metres across two rooms have combined project preparation with workshops and machine work.
3D printers of various designs, laser cutters and CNC machines — the core of every FabLab.
Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms, IoT sensors, and biosensors we use with children and in solutions for people with disabilities.
From Kinect and Structure Sensor to structured-light devices — for everyday work and project research.
We keep classic techniques alive: power and hand tools stand as equals next to digital machines.
Primarily open-source, alongside donated licences from partners such as Autodesk.
The space is open to the curious — from a first workshop visit to developing an idea of your own.
FabLab, an association for the promotion of digital fabrication, is a beneficiary of Thematic Systemic Support in the STEM field, as a driver of development under the National Foundation for Civil Society Development. Thirteen years of building local ecosystems — from Croatia’s first FabLab to a model connecting people, places and policy. Europe invested in our capability; this is how we give it back.
