The Ateneu de Fabricació Digital de Gràcia is a space for creation and training linked to new technologies and, in particular, to 3D digital manufacturing where individual citizens, but also entities, organizations, universities and companies can get involved in a laboratory. of digital creation.
The space is equipped with software and manufacturing machines that allow the entire community to turn their ideas and concepts into useful physical products for society.
In an old remodeled industrial building, the Ateneu de Fabricació Digital de Gràcia was born as the fifth facility in the network of athenaeums in Barcelona. A public space oriented to creativity, which supports digital, textile, fashion and biomaterial production projects that seek to redesign the society of the future.
To carry out all these initiatives, the space has different manufacturing areas, divided according to the machinery and the sector. Specifically, the Ateneu de Gràcia is divided into four workspaces.
The former specializes in textiles and fashion, and a digital embroidery and various sewing machines are available. The second focuses on digital and electronic manufacturing, and makes available to users various types of 3D printing machines and programming material. The third space, known as the laboratory of biomaterials and biotechnology, is prepared with tools and devices for the production of new materials adapted to the demands of the hypertechnological future. And the last of these spaces, the Taller Brut, is mainly used to manufacture heavier or larger elements. Therefore, the space is prepared with a laser cutting machine, milling machines of different formats, a vinyl cutter, etc.
In addition to these four spaces, there is also a large multipurpose open space, called Agora, where exhibitions, workshops and conferences can be organized, and three more small work spaces.
The team is made up of four people with very different backgrounds: industrial design, digital production, fashion design, biomaterials and audiovisual communication. Very diverse professions that revolve around the intersection of knowledge and skills to develop innovative projects with a differential character.
The mission of the space is to disseminate creativity and innovation through socio-technological development projects with methodologies in the field of design.
At the Manufacturing Athenaeums we bring technology closer, support projects and share knowledge by providing qualified people with the necessary machinery.
