Digital Fabrication Lab

    The Digital Fabrication Lab offers a wide range of digital manufacturing options: from 3D scans to 3D VR modelling, 3D printing, laser cutting, to CNC processing. For data creation, the Digital Fabrication Lab relies primarily on the programme Rhinoceros which is provided and supported.

    The Digital Fabrication Lab provides cardboard to create mock-up models; all other wooden or plastic plates have to be procured in the respective workshops or externally. As far as CNC milling area is concerned, there is a team of tutors to assist the students in their project work.
