StartUpYard

Makerspace of Wismar University

The Yard is an open workspace for students of all faculties and employees of Wismar University. Here, projects can evolve from initial idea through design and construction to production – as well physical as digital models and prototypes.

The makerspace holds PC workstations with modern software, machines and tools for mechanical processing and production as well as a multifunctional room. The workshop and common materials can be used free of charge. No previous knowledge is required.

Due to Toolbox, the interdisciplinary project workshop, and Central Workshop being close at hand, creativity is (almost) set no limits.

Zone 1 offers space for meetings and relaxation.

Zone 1 leads directly to the workshop area.

In the dust workshop of Zone 2, four workbenches are available ...

... a tool wall with numerous hand tools ...

... and a laser cutter workstation.

Outside the dust workshop, a sewing machine workstation and two soldering stations are located in zone 2 ...

... as well as four PC workstations with access to four 3D printers and a cutting plotter.

Zone 3 can be used variably for events.
