Het Saxion FabLab in Enschede

We democratize technology to enable people to do good for their society. Make technology accessible. Make technology more affordable. Educate how to use the technology. Inspire and lead by example.

What is a FabLab?

We are a workplace where anyone has the opportunity to bring their ideas to life themselves, using modern digital production tools. Whether you’re an employee of a company, a student, a product developer, a young entrepreneur, an artist, or just an individual, all concepts can literally be made tangible here! 

FabLab Enschede not only serves as a public workspace but also facilitates education, supports research, and provides guidance to makers.

Who are we

Saxion FabLab practices open innovation. In our public digital workshop, everyone is encouraged to create things themselves using various computer-controlled prototyping machines. Sharing designs and ideas openly is encouraged. The emphasis is primarily on “doing it yourself.” We will assist and support you through drop-in sessions, workshops, or specific courses to bring your project to life.

FabLab Enschede also facilitates in education, provides support for research groups, and offers guidance to makers. Take a look at our latest projects
