Upcoming Events

Maker Café - 26th May - from 4p.m.

The Maker Café will take place again on Friday, May 26th. As always, you are invited to stop by for a coffee or tea, exchange ideas with other students and get to know each other. We will also prepare a nice accompanying workshop program (tba) for you from the MakeLab team, so stay tuned! We look forward to meeting you!

MakeLab at Enter_Zukunft_IT - May 31st - 10 a.m. to 4 p.m

As usual, we will have a stand at the university's own job fair Enter_Zukunft_IT together with the IT department and the Bembelbots. There we will demonstrate some of our devices and give you the opportunity to try out some things yourself.

Who we are

The MakeLab is a student project that arose from the idea of providing low-threshold access to modern rapid prototyping methods such as 3D printing, 3D scanning or laser cutting.

While many universities have been running so-called “FabLabs” and “Makerspaces” for a long time, there was unfortunately a gap at Goethe University until the MakeLab was founded in 2016.


We see ourselves less as a service to the university, but rather as an active, self-organized place for learning and creating.
Of course, in addition to the necessary introductions to the devices, we are also at your side with advice, but we want to encourage your own engagement with projects and problem solving wherever possible.

That sounds great !

As an open project, we look forward to everyone who enjoys working

- be it by simply using the MakeLab every now and then,
or want to join our team.

Feel free to write us an email or just drop by during the current opening times.

Sponsored by Get in Touch & Re:Start your Campuslife!.

This time there will be a soldering workshop as part of the Maker Café, where you can try out kits of different levels of difficulty - success you can touch, even without any soldering experience! In addition, as always, you can talk about various topics from the fields of additive manufacturing, rapid prototyping, DIY and the social effects of technology in a nice atmosphere with a hot or cold drink.

Not only students of scientific and technical courses should feel addressed!
