Las puntuaciones se concentran en valores altos, por lo que la posición dentro del catálogo suele ser más reveladora que el número por sí solo.
Evidence of impact / measured results1/3
Usage figures (35+ collaborations, 20+ workshops, 80+ clients) are self-published by the lab's own website with no independent audit, and the only externally corroborated output is a single named device reported by Kuensel, so measured impact evidence remains thin.
Transferability / demonstrated replication3/3
The facility directly replicates MIT Center for Bits and Atoms' internationally proven Super Fab Lab format, already used in dozens of countries, and Bhutan itself has replicated the model into a four-site domestic network.
Scalability2/3
Since the 2022 opening the network has scaled from one flagship site to four facilities across Thimphu, Paro, Gelephu and Lobeysa, though total throughput and user numbers remain modest for a national scheme.
Sustainability / continuity2/3
The lab has operated continuously for about four years under state-owned Druk Holding and Investments with recurring US State Department and Bhutan Foundation funding, but its track record is still short relative to more established practices.
Innovation3/3
Hosting the international FAB23 conference and producing a locally engineered smart eye-camera device for disease detection are concrete, verifiable innovation outputs for a small, resource-constrained fabrication lab.
Inclusiveness / equity2/3
The lab is positioned as an open-access platform for students, researchers, entrepreneurs and citizens and forms part of a four-site national network extending reach beyond the capital, though most documented activity remains concentrated in Thimphu.
Multi-stakeholder collaboration3/3
The programme brings together a state-owned holding company, a US-based foundation, MIT's Center for Bits and Atoms and Japan's Keio University in a single facility, evidencing substantive multi-stakeholder, cross-border collaboration.
