Our story
From maker space to the Caribbean lab
The Big Maker's was born in Santa Marta with a simple idea: students, entrepreneurs and engineering teams could go from sketch to physical part without relying on imports or impossible lead times.
What started with 3D printing and rapid prototypes evolved into an integrated workshop — CNC, PCB assembly, Klipper firmware and technical training — headquartered at Edificio Petecuy in the heart of the city.
More than 500 people have gone through our hands-on programs. Today we support theses, hardware startups and industrial pilots with the local advantage of iterating in hours: a new board, a new part, a new firmware revision.
Team
Who runs the lab
Engineers, shop technicians and firmware specialists at the same table — from Gerber review to fine-tuning an industrial printer.
Electronics & PCB
Board review, SMD assembly, reflow oven and documentation for pilot production.
Additive manufacturing
FDM/SLA fleet operation, technical material selection and finishing for prototypes and short runs.
Firmware & automation
Klipper deployment, industrial macros, input shaping and support for print or CNC fleets.
Equipment
CNC Router
1200×2400 mm work area. Machining wood, polymers and non-ferrous metals.
FDM Farm
Serial production with technical thermoplastics (PLA, PETG, ABS, Nylon CF).
SLA / DLP
High-resolution resin printing for fine-detail prototyping.
PCB Line
SMD soldering station, reflow oven and assisted assembly.
3D Scanning
Industrial digitization with up to 0.05 mm precision for reverse engineering.
Training area
CAD design, fabrication and innovation workshops for makers and companies.
CNC room
Large-scale part machining with industrial precision. Ideal for technical signage, fixtures and experimental molds.
