About Smartlab

The Smartlab Makerspace in Deventer, Netherlands, Netherlands, is a dedicated innovation centre for students, engineers, and creative professionals. it combines professional-grade fabrication equipment — including 3D printers, laser cutters, and microcontroller development kits — with a supportive community of makers and mentors. The lab actively supports the STEM ecosystem in Netherlands by hosting workshops on topics ranging from robotics and AI to sustainable design and product development. Entrepreneurs benefit from rapid prototyping capabilities that compress the distance between idea and market-ready product. Smartlab stands as proof that when tools, knowledge, and community come together, extraordinary things are built.

Description

November 29 2014 the Smartlab openend in a former industrial area called Havenkwartier in Deventer Netherlands. Februari 2017 we moved to two new locations in Deventer. First location is the Library, here our lab concentrates on education and introducing our machines and techniques to Deventer. Second location is at 'de Techniekfabriek', here our lab is open for all makers to use our machines.
Our lab is run by non-technicians and open for all kind of makers. Artists, architects, musicians, students, tutors, technicians, designers and so on.
We're trying to connect all kinds of makers who have all kinds of (different) knowledge and skills.
In our lab you'll find several 3D printers (Ultimaker), lasercutters (60x90cm, 100w & 40x60cm, 60w), a vinylplotter (70cm), a heated press.
Soon there will be a vacuum form machine and a CNC-machine as well.
