Our workshop

Learn more about our space, members, machines & services!

The Bastia FabLab was born in 2018, however the OPRA association, the FabLab’s hosting structure, was created in 2007 as a Digital Public Space (EPN).

It is a digital manufacturing space, where we find digitally controlled tools such as 3D printers, vinyl cutting plotters, and even digital milling machines.

The objective of the Bastia FabLab is to reduce the digital divide in the territories through awareness and education. For this, the FabLab offers workshops for children twice a week, which combine computer and scientific workshops and introductions to certain software.

The Bastia FabLab then receives a school audience, an audience from priority neighborhoods, particularly due to its location. In addition, there are also a few craftsmen who come through the FabLab door to create communication objects.

Here you will meet Gerard :

  • Françoise - Management
  • Gérard - Fabmanager
  • Fanny - upcycling of unsold items and she leads sewing workshop animation
  • Zaima - upcycle clothes’ shop management
  • Rouana - sewing and facilitator

They are surrounded by a very divers community including youth, artisan, entrepreneurs and retired makers.

This fablab is co-financed by the European regional development fund and the Collectivité de Corse.

They also have a membership system and apply to several project every year.
