Ikatlo nga itong FabLab sa BatStateU,” ani Toledo.

Ayon kay BatStateU President Dr. Tirso A Ronquillo, ang naturang laboratoryong ay gagamitin ng mga estudyante para sa paggawa ng mga model design ng kanilang mga proyekto. “Malaki ang magiging pakinabang ng mga mag-aaral natin dito, dahil magagamit nila ito sa paggawa ng protoype design at isa ito sa requirement ng barangay sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng kanilang mga programa at stratehiya sa tamang pangangaiswa ng basura kagaya ng pagbuo ng mga barangay officials ng Barangay Solid Waste Management Board, pagbubukod ng basura sa bahay bahay at pagtatayo ng Materials Recovery Facility IMRF)..

Mismong ang mga collectors ang nagbubukod ng basura habang nasa truck. Sinabi rin din ni Cantre na tatakluban ang mga basura sa trak para hindi natatapon ang basura habang nasa daan.

Mas madali nilang matututunan ang pinag-aaralan dahil makikita nila kung ano ang itsura nito sa aktuwal at hindi puro guhit lamang sa whiteboard ang kanilang makikita,” ani Ronquillo. Samantala, kung may nais magpagawa ng disenyo kailangang ibigay ang specification at sample o litrato para maaprubahan ngunit kung kailangan ng mass production ay kailangang ipagawa ito sa labas dahil sa kasalukuyan ay hindi pa kaya ng FabLab ang malaking produksyon.
