🚀 The Rise of Fab Labs in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf
The maker movement is accelerating across Saudi Arabia and the wider Gulf region. From universities and technical colleges to innovation hubs and educational foundations, Fab Labs are emerging as the heart of local innovation — places where engineering meets creativity, and prototyping meets possibility.
In recent years, Fab Labs have been springing up across Riyadh, Jeddah, Sharjah, Doha, and Muscat, reflecting the Gulf’s growing investment in education, R&D, and advanced manufacturing.
But as more institutions launch Fab Labs, one question keeps coming up:
What tools and technology will give their students and teams a true global-standard Fab Lab experience?
That’s where Trotec Laser — and its exclusive Saudi partner, Lawazen — come in.
🔍 Who Is Lawazen?
Lawazen is a Saudi-based distributor and creative technology firm with deep roots in the customization and printing industry. As the official Trotec Laser partner in Saudi Arabia, Lawazen supports Fab Labs, universities, startups, and educational institutions across the Kingdom and beyond.
They don’t just sell laser machines — they help set up full solutions, offer local maintenance, training, and integration tailored to the Fab Lab environment. From site planning to laser workshops, Lawazen is actively supporting the Gulf’s transformation into a regional innovation powerhouse.
🔴 Trotec at FAB25 – The Global Fab Lab Gathering
From July 4 to July 11, 2024, the global Fab Lab community will gather in the Czech Republic for FAB25 — the 25th international Fab Lab event. It’s the world’s largest Fab Lab conference, and Trotec will be participating as the official technical partner, alongside their European partner MEGAFLEX.
