Welcome to the matrix FabLab!
make - learn - share - people - machines - come on in
make
In the matrix FabLab we support you as a company or private person in bringing your ideas into the world. On the way from the first idea to the prototype, we support you with our experience in digital production, with methods, with technology and with our interdisciplinary innovation ecosystem. Already have an idea?
We learn while doing – always. We are convinced of that. Various offers of the matrix FabLab support these learning processes. We will continuously expand this offer:
learn
- Fabacademy:
The Fab Academy's 6-month rapid prototyping program is a tightly timed, hands-on training program. Participants learn rapid prototyping by planning their own project and working on it every week.
- Fabricademy:
The 6-month program combines digital manufacturing, textiles and biology. This results in innovative wearables and assistance systems. The matrix Fablab will soon also be offering individual modules.
- Seminar Innovation Hub:
As a business-promoting institution, set up the hub or lab for your region or city.
share
As a lab, we share our know-how with you as a user and with the entire international FabLab and Maker community. At the same time, we can use the entire wealth of knowledge in this network. Documentation as a basis for sharing is therefore important to us. In the following projects you can understand how we document and make our knowledge available to a broad community.

people
Adriana coordinates the work in our lab. She studied industrial design and media interface design. As a long-time Fab Consultant and FabAcademy Instructor, she brings a lot of maker and design experience to the table. Adriana is an expert in digital manufacturing and softrobotics and has already supported numerous FabLabs worldwide in the establishment and development.
Paula coordinates topics related to the human-machine interface and educational projects in our lab. She is a master of orthopedic technology, ortho-bionics and movement scientist. Paula therefore brings a lot of experience in the craft and in the development of technical products on and for people.
In the FabLab team, Niels is responsible for the interfaces to strategy projects with industry and the public sector and is a member of the matrix management board. He is a trained energy electronics technician, graduate engineer (mechatronics) and has an MBA as a technical business economist. Niels brings a wealth of experience in managing major projects in cutting-edge research and industry.
With their wealth of ideas and their enthusiasm, our FabLab team will take you with them on their journey into and through the world of FabLabs.
machines
After an introduction, you can use our machines from laser cutters to 3D printers to develop your prototype.
come on in
We are still under construction and just on the way FabLab to become. The matrix FabLab is currently only open by appointment. But that will change over the course of the year. Then you will find fixed opening hours here and you can also use the lab by appointment. Feel free to get in touch with us:
