Machines & Devices

Discover which machines & devices are in the MakerSpacES!

The extensive equipment includes woodworking machines and power tools, such as saws, drills and soldering stations, but also a 3D printer, a laser cutter and a saddler's sewing machine for tarpaulin and leather processing, as well as various small devices. Furthermore, the room has professional equipment for photographing prototypes and hybrid events. An innovation corner where teams can develop ideas, sketch on the digital whiteboard and quickly draft ideas is of course also integrated.

The MakerSpacES! is divided into five sections:

  • Wood and metal sector
  • Textile sector
  • Electronics sector
  • Digital area
  • Media sector

By clicking on the light blue fields you can learn more about the equipment of the respective area.

  • 2-speed scroll saw DSH
  • Oscillator
  • Angle grinder (125mm, 1700 Watt)
  • Hot air dryer (1800 Watt)
  • Drill press
  • Vices

  • Tool wall for woodworking: Wood hammers, chisel set, rasps, planes, center punches, Forstner drills, hand saws (hacksaws, fret saws), awls, (angle) screwdrivers, etc.
  • Tool wall for metalworking: taps, metal rasps/files, machine vice, various pliers, open-end wrenches, tin snips, etc.

  • Protective equipment (hearing protection, respiratory protection, safety goggles)

Digital sector

Lasercutter

The laser cutter enables engraving, perforating and cutting of many non-metallic materials. Training is required for its use.

Technical date
Table size 1,30 x 1,00 m
Laser type CO2 Laser
Laser power 100 W
Cutting speed 0-600 mm/s
Engraving speed 0-800 mm/s

3D printer

The Ultimaker S5, with its large build envelope (33 x 24 x 30 cm) and dual extruder, is ideal for prototyping, tooling and finished products. The dual extruder system enables 3D printing with water-soluble support material.

Our materials for different applications
  • PLA (polylactic acid) has good tensile strength and surface quality, ideal for high-resolution prints and prototypes with aesthetic detail
  • Tough PLA perfect for printing larger engineering models - just as safe and easy to use as traditional PLA, but without delamination or warping in large prints
  • ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) withstands temperatures up to 85°C and is suitable with excellent mechanical properties for complex functional parts and working prototypes
  • Nylon offers high specific strength, long durability and low friction. Heatable up to 80°C, best suited for functional prototypes, functional parts and tools
  • PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is a water-soluble support material that enables printing of complex models with large overhangs, voids and complicated geometry
  • Breakaway is an easily removable support material that peels off easily, leaving smooth surfaces and perfect dimensional accuracy
Matching Software

The associated Ultimaker Cura 3D print preparation software can be downloaded free of charge from the manufacturer's website.

Instruction

Here you will find a quick guide to using the 3D printer for the first time.

English version available soon


Cutting plotter

The cutting plotter makes it possible (using vector graphics) to cut out lettering or images from PVC films, flex or flock films and then transfer them to textiles (e.g. T-shirts) by ironing them on or using a transfer press. Likewise, paper can be cut if the knife is set correctly.


Sublimation printer

In principle, the sublimation printer works like a normal printer. However, one prints on a transfer foil (sublimation paper), which is transferred to objects (e.g. textiles, key rings, etc.) by heat (e.g. with a transfer press).
