Computational design and parametric modelling.
Digital fabrication: 3D printing, CNC, laser.
Material research, including reused and recycled stock.
Real projects for one of our five brands.
What you'll gain
Hands-on machine time, not just observation.

Q&A
How long does it last?
It depends on what you're bringing: a thesis, a course requirement, a personal project. We figure out the right length together before you start.
Who can apply?
Students, researchers and makers with a real question or skill to bring. No FabLab experience required, just curiosity and follow-through.
Do I need previous experience?
Not necessarily. What matters most is a clear reason for being here and the willingness to actually use the machines, not just watch.
Is it paid, and what's covered?
This isn't paid work or a volunteering placement: it's an exchange of time and knowledge. What's covered (materials, space, guidance) depends on the project; we'll talk it through when you write in.

What are you bringing?
The more concrete you are about the project and what you can already do, the faster we can tell you whether it fits and who on the team would work with you.
