Makerspace - Prototyping Laboratory

A laboratory where you can experiment, design and realise the first prototype of projects in a multitude of fields and sectors, such as fashion, design, biomedical, engineering, agribusiness, restoration and more.

What is the Makerspace?

Makerspace is a laboratory offering customised digital fabrication services in additive and subtractive manufacturing, electronic component development and rapid prototyping, equipped with technologically advanced tools such as 3D printers (FDM, SLA, SLS), laser cutters, CNC milling machines, 3D scanners, etc., capable of flexibly and semi-automatically producing a wide range of objects.

From a design concept or 3D model, the process of formation takes place in various levels of depth, materialising in the actual production of prototypes. The creation of the prototype is a collaborative process, to define the phases in the work and minimise technical problems.

Who can use it

  • current students and Unibo staff
  • start-up and spin-off
  • visiting professors/researchers, students undergoing international internships, administrative and technical staff participating in exchange programmes (staff exchange)
