About Us
Come. Try. Learn prototyping. Build Ideas. Join the community of makers.
Lili鈥檚 Proto Lab (LPL) is a place for you to test your creative ideas and materialize them into a working prototype. From 3D printing and laser cutting to microfluidics and robotics, in the LPL you get to use various low-threshold, accessible prototyping methods and refine your ideas. Whatever your skill level, LPL mentors support your prototyping process and bring you in touch with experts from across all disciplines of the Science faculty. Additionally, we host workshops on a range of prototyping skills to help you get started.
Our typical users are students, researchers, technicians and educators who have an interest in creating physical, often custom, hardware. Such projects can include educational models, open source versions of lab equipment or sustainable nudging devices. Project sizes vary, as some visitors just wish to use a screw driver while others design entire experimental setups for their research internship or thesis. Ultimately, our ambition is to build a community of creative and enthusiastic people who like to learn by doing and those who support them. So whether you are reinventing the wheel or need an extra thumb to hold down tape, feel free to come along to the LPL.
