Unifr LearningLab Fablab

The LearningLab Fablab offers a space for hands-on experimentation with digital fabrication and prototyping. Standard digital fabrication machines are available, together with materials and electronic components.

The LearningLab Fablab is curated by Human-IST and the Department of Informatics (DIUF). Its aim is to offer a digital prototyping infrastructure to research or teaching projects. It provides standard digital fabrication machines together with numerous digital components such as sensors, actuators, batteries, processing units, VR headsets etc. Basic electronic lab equipment is available, as well as usual consumables. The focus is put on building proof-of-concepts with off-the-shelf components.

The facilities are available for the whole UniFR community. Access can be granted on request and machines reserved using OpenIris. Workshops are organized and training courses can be offered to learn how to use the machines autonomously.

  • Laser Cutter Trotec Q400, with usual materials
  • 3D printing machines Prusa MK4S, Prusa SL1S, with PLA/ABS/TPU/PETG materials
  • Processing units (Arduinos, ESP32, Raspberry Pis zero/3/4) together with off-the-shelf sensors, actuators and power sources
  • Volterra One PCB printing machine
