Makers Lab

3Dmodels and prototypes, including interactive ones, and project components.

The Makers Lab is a fully equipped space for creating physical models and study prototypes for design and architecture.

The official website is https://site.unibo.it/damakerslab/it.

The laboratory is dedicated to prototyping as a tool for research and innovation. Methodologically inspired by maker culture, it provides a fully equipped space for creating physical models and study prototypes in support of the educational and experimental activities of the DA Degree Programs.

The Laboratory offers training and support to students and researchers, ensuring they acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to make the most of the available resources. In addition to academic programs, the DA Makers Lab is also committed to promoting extracurricular and third-mission initiatives, serving as an enabler of a platform for lifelong learning and collaboration with alumni.

MATERIALS

The laboratories do not provide the purchase or storage of materials for model construction. Students are responsible for purchasing the materials most suitable for their project. They may consult with instructors and the Technical Manager regarding the choice of materials.

Recycling and reuse: In agreement with the laboratory's Technical Surpervisor, waste materials produced during processing may be set aside and made available for other students. The Technical Supervisor will assess the potential reuse of certain electronic components.

Access mode

To reserve the use of the spaces, please contact Luca Barbieri via email at luca.barbieri17@unibo.it .

Safety

To access all laboratory spaces, the minimum required safety level is the completion of Module, Module 2 and Module 3.
