Fab Lab Austral is the southernmost FabLab in the world located at the end of the supply chain. This laboratory promotes a digital culture, based on technological education, sustainability, prototype and research. Its aim is to be a hub of digital culture for local and autonomous creativity and production, with a focus on communities, ecosystems, science, arts, and digital technologies. The lab links local work and needs with global infrastructure and networks promoting resilient fabrication and implementation of meaningful solutions and interventions through ecosystem-oriented design processes.

Located in Puerto Williams, the southernmost city in the world, Fab Lab Austral is a project promoted by the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, the Design School UC, the Center for Bits and Atoms of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Fab Foundation.
