KISS Science and Technology Innovation Hub for Tribals

(Funded by Department of Science and Technology)

The Fabrication Lab stands as the hub’s high-tech, hands-on prototyping powerhouse and engineering nucleus, structured to rapidly translate abstract conceptual designs into functional physical realities. To achieve this, the facility hosts an ecosystem of advanced manufacturing and digital fabrication infrastructure, featuring industrial-grade 3D printers, precision CNC milling machines, and high-speed laser cutters.

More than just a machine shop, the FabLab functions as a vibrant, experiential incubation and makerspace specifically curated for tribal youth, grassroots innovators, and local problem-solvers. Within this collaborative environment, users are guided through the iterative process of engineering, testing, and refining custom hardware solutions. The unit places a heavy emphasis on manufacturing sustainable technological prototypes and eco-friendly products that offer direct, scalable remedies to the unique structural, infrastructural, and economic challenges faced by rural and semi-urban populations.
