  • Support by a network of companies and consultants.
  • Consulting and support in applying for funding.
  • Identifying further financing opportunities.


FabLab Lübeck[]

Engineering courses at the TH Lübeck get very hands-on: it is not uncommon that students have to develop their own prototypes. Or maybe you like to create or craft things in your free time and want to share your DIY ideas and projects with other makers. For this, the FabLab (short for Fabrication Laboratory) is exactly what you need.

The FabLab:

  • is a high-tech workshop that can be used by anyone,
  • provides various machines such as 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC mills, etc. that you can use (after being instructed) to create your own projects,
  • organizes meet-ups, workshops and events,
  • is a club whose members take care of the running and the community life on a voluntary basis (but anyone can also use the FabLab without being a club member themselves.).
