FabLab RUC is an open fablab, rapid prototyping laboratory and digital production workshops, run by HUMTEKs technology gurus in building 4. We are open for all, you do not have to be a student or researcher at RUC. We handle materials ranging from wood, plastics, metal, cloth, electronics, programming and computer controlled manufacturing. We pride ourselves on being able to build a prototype of any technological system.
We are open weekdays 10-16, except tuesdays when we are open 12-21. Regular, trusted users can have a keycard for 24/7 access to the electronics & 3D printing lab. Lasers, CNC machines etc. can however only be used within opening hours.
