Makerspace is part of the TU Delft Science Centre. This is a workspace that helps people bring their creative ideas to life. Among other things, it is equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters and you can mill, solder and more. From February 2024, Makerspace will be part of X's Open Studios.
In this course, you will learn to work with the various machines, materials and techniques available in the Makerspace workspace.
By studying the control software and operating the machines (including 3D printing, laser cutting, milling), after a few weeks you will have built up enough knowledge to work on your own creative project during the second half of the course. The course is supervised each week by 2 teachers.
With all the knowledge you gain during this introductory course, you can also work independently in the workspace during the Open Studio days on weekends.
