Fab Lab

Based on common FabLabs and MakerSpaces, this lab combines digital and analogue activities. The aim is to integrate digital manufacturing processes in order to solve current problems. In addition, the social effects of digitalisation will be introduced, which play a major role for the technical subject area (technology & design).

Workshop contents or questions:

  • Basic course on 3D printing using simple CAD designs
  • Recycling of plastics - collecting, shredding, melting, (NEW)moulding (in cooperation with the association Kunststoff e.V.)
  • Repair with the 3D printer
