Methodology

In the Makerslab you can make anything yourself, we won't make it for you. There are always experts around to answer your questions or to help you use a machine or technique safely. There is no charge for use of the machines. Some materials are available for sale in the lab, other materials you will have to bring yourself.

Machinery

We have a large variety of digital production tools. Such as: laser cutters, 3D printers, sticker printers, vacuum formers, a UV printer, a RISO printer and many more. There is also a workspace available, with various hand tools. We always try to keep our tooling to the highest innovative standards.

You can reserve a time slot for some of our machines in the reservation system (opens in new window).
