MakerSpace

Makerspace is located in the Videnbyen Odense. Here, students from SDU have the opportunity to explore their creative minds and create innovative prototypes for startups, study projects, or hobby projects.

Facilities

We have a workshop full of tools that allow you to create prototypes and explore new materials, methods, and machines. Our computers are equipped with 3D drawing programs and graphic software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign. We also have sewing machines, a photo studio, a vinyl cutter, soldering facilities, and much more. All these tools are free to use at MakerSpace.

In our machine room, we have five 3D printers (Ultimaker S5, S3, and 3) and a laser cutter capable of cutting and engraving materials like wood, cardboard, and acrylic.

Furthermore, we have a vacuum former (Mayku Formbox), where you can, for instance, create molds and produce professional packaging. Last but not least, you also have the opportunity to solder.

In the graphics room, you can print posters on our large-format printer. You also have the chance to use our vinyl cutter to produce wall stickers or vinyl for textiles.

With the help of the Silhouette Cameo, you can also cut thin materials such as paper, textiles, cardboard, leather, or thin metal foil. You'll also find a laminating machine, a large paper cutter, cutting mats, and knives.

Last but not least, we have a photo studio where you can take product and portrait photos, create videos (including with a green screen), and use various lighting setups. Finally, you can edit your photos and videos using software like the Adobe Creative Cloud. 

How do I get access?

 The most important thing is that you are a student at SDU or are part of a startup in SDU Startup Station. If you meet one of these criteria, you can access all our facilities as soon as you have completed one of our workshop courses, which you can find here. You'll gain access via your student card, which we'll reprogram as soon as you've passed the course.

We hold weekly courses in 3D printing and Laser- and vinyl cutting, as well as monthly courses in sewing and photography. The courses are free, and you can find the dates right here.

Once you have access to MakerSpace and wish to use the machines, you need to reserve them via our booking system. Check the posters on each machine for more information.
