Fab Lab’s equipment and facilities

Main Park

The Main Park is open to the public on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 17.00–20.00. Below is the equipment in the Main Park.

Equipment in the lab

3D printers

We have several 3D printers that differ in build volume, printing method and materials. They can do everything from replacement parts (say, a broken plastic piece for your fridge) to printing a small statue of yourself.

3D scanners

We have three scanners that let us scan objects of different sizes – from a ring to a car.

CNC mill

CNC mills are among the most used machines in industry and are used to create complex, durable parts for everything from kitchens to cars. We have three mills, two of which are in the Metal & Wood Workshop. For quick prototyping, we also have a small CNC mill for small parts, engraving and PCB milling.

Casting

Make silicone moulds and cast with epoxy to create great‑looking objects. Cast directly into wood, make dice or create decorative pieces.

Decal Printer

With a decal printer, you can easily create decals and textile transfers in professional quality. Ideal for both small stickers and larger road decals.

Embroidery machine

Want your name stitched on a sweater, or a neat embroidered logo on a tote bag? Our embroidery machine can do that. It has six threads in different colours and easy software that converts images into stitch files for the machine.

Laser cutter

With a laser cutter you can engrave directly on a surface or cut complex shapes from sheets of plastic or wood — make your own puzzle or engrave a family photo on a wooden board.

Sewing machines

Sewing machines for most textiles.

Textile printer

By printing ink directly onto fabric, you can easily print images on textiles.

UV printer

Like a regular paper printer — but with UV‑curable ink so you can print on many different types of objects.

Vacuum former

Shape a thin plastic sheet into complex forms and surfaces.

Vinyl cutter

A vinyl cutter cuts thin film to make stickers, paint masks or heat‑transfer prints for T‑shirts.

Waterjet cutter

A waterjet mixes abrasive with high‑pressure water to create a cutting jet that can cut with high precision in everything from rubber to titanium. For example, you can make your own mosaic from tiles or cut complex carbon‑fibre structures for a drone.

Electronics

At Fab Lab you can create your own circuit boards from start to finish. If you need to test your boards’ electrical circuits, we also have test equipment.
