Description
We offer them the spaces, tools, services and training they need to carry out their projects and share them: found and grow a company, develop a prototype, produce a mini series of objects, cultivate a passion.
Our laboratory is equipped with work tables, digital manufacturing machines, sewing machines, robotics kits, arduino boards, measuring bench and hand tools.
Our main machines:
3 / 3D scanner
6 / 3D printers,
1 / milling machine
1 / laser cutter
1 / vinyl plotter
1 / uv printer
1 / digital embroidery machine.
To access the makerspace, you need to sign up for an annual membership.
We offer the opportunity to learn how to use the machines in the laboratory and then to rent them, with or without the assistance of an operator, to make their creations.
Our training proposals are real learning experiences that teach you to imagine and then to design and build what you have imagined using digital manufacturing and traditional arts.
Also with the collaboration of external experts we offer:
basic courses to learn how to use machines (3D printer, laser cutter, vinyl cutter, etc.), 2D and 3D design courses; educational laboratories of coding, robotics, IOT, digital manufacturing for teachers and students, children and teenagers.
