FabTech is the Fablab of the Science and Technology Park of the Federal Technological University of Paraná on its Curitiba Campus.

Located within the Technology Park (250,000 m2), FabTech currently has 100 m2 and has guaranteed space for future expansions as needed for growth.

The general objectives of this collaborative environment are to promote maker culture, the acquisition and dissemination of basic and advanced knowledge in digital and manual rapid prototyping and related knowledge.

Both the Technology Park and FabTech are part of Vale do Pinhão, the Innovation Ecosystem of the City of Curitiba (Curitiba won the top award at Smart City Expo 2023 - Cities Today (cities-today.com)), thus we work to promote education, innovation and entrepreneurship, through the provision of our equipment, specialists and physical structure.

In addition to helping guide and materialize everything from simple ideas to complex projects in any of their phases, FabTech provides the entire community with the opportunity to learn, develop research and test products or processes. These actions take place through training, updating or improvement courses, from the simplest to the most advanced technologies. The focus on undertaking in a sustainable manner is always included in these activities.

This proposal goes beyond simply encouraging Maker Culture or the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) proposal, but aims at personal development and growth for people, companies and industries through the learning of new skills in construction tools, from the simplest (hammers, screwdrivers, etc.) to the most advanced (laser cutters, CNC, 3D printers and scanners, Virtual and Augmented Reality, etc.).
