Rapid Prototyping Lab

The /d.search lab is dedicated to the realization of high-quality prototypes for Master students and researchers of the ID department. The lab facilities are also used to support high-level innovative projects within education that deserve extra attention in order to attract industry and inform and inspire research. Dedicated multi-disciplinary support staff ensures correct operation of the equipment and the maintenance and extension of the facilities and related support.

There are also Mechanical Engineering facilities that are part of the /d.search lab. This is the Rapid Prototyping lab and can be found in a different location.

The lab, 3d printers, and laser cutter are only available for ID master students and staff members and are open during office hours (9.00 – 17.00). Wiki 3D printing.
