Student Mechanical workshop is a place where students learn by doing and can acquire knowledge on the operation of various processes involved in manufacturing and production. The mechanical workshop supports our challenge-based learning education and prototyping activities.
Under supervision of our technicians, students can manufacture complex precision components and prototypes as needed for their challenges.
Situated on the ground floor of the Matrix building this facility is equipped with a wide range of machine tools, conventional lathe and milling machine and welding, drilling and fabrication equipment. We can advice you (e.g. on the use of CAD packages to) enhance your design and manufacturing capabilities.
List of equipment:
- Milling (Aciera), metal milling machine
- Lathing (Hembrug AI)
- Sawing en cutting machines, e.g. metal cross-cut saw machine
- Spotwelding (welding of sheet metal)
- Mig-mag welder (welding of steel, aluminium and stainless steel)
- Tig welder (high quality welding of steel, aluminium and stainless steel).
- Drill stands
- Angle grinder
- Angle cutter
- Belt sanding machine
- Bending machines
- Sheet metal cutter
