In this lab, students learn to create mechanical and electronic systems using digital methods. It’s where ideas turn into prototypes, and creativity takes physical form. From 3D printing and laser cutting to custom-built sensors, you don’t just imagine innovation — you build it.
Lab Persona
If Hans were a person, he’d be someone who’s always outdoors building, fixing, and recycling whatever he can get his hands on. He believes that by learning self-sufficient, hands-on skills, we can ease the burden on the environment — making the world a little greener and less wasteful.
Create with Technology
Here, students can create mechanical and electronic devices using both additive and subtractive manufacturing. They have the possibility to manufacture workpieces using 3D printers, CNC lathes and milling machines, as well as laser cutters — and to integrate electronic components at the electronics workstations, bringing their creations to life.
Project-based Learning
Examples of learning projects include developing sensors for air quality detection, building custom mobile devices to record medical data, and much more.
Imagine a biologist and a mechatronics engineer teaming up to develop a new camera designed to reduce wildlife damage. Graduates are equipped to apply digital manufacturing methods to real-world challenges across a range of industries.
Meet the Expert
