PrintedLabs

Since about 2021, we have been developing a wide range of self-construction laboratory equipment from 3D printers and the corresponding software at our department, which is also used in the basic practical course for the physics teaching profession. In addition to low-cost production, easy handling and good performance, our focus is always on understanding the physics involved and the functionality of the devices.

In order to make our work accessible to everyone free of charge and to show the possibilities with the devices we have developed, we have founded PrintedLabs. It is intended to provide a platform for experimentation that is as free, motivating and creative as possible, with a continuously growing number of project ideas, software, as well as model files and assembly instructions of the developed equipment.

We are aimed at:

• Teachers who want to show a demonstration experiment, explain how an instrument works, or have their students/pupils carry out simple experiments themselves.
• Students who enjoy doing handicrafts and research and who want to make their own small telescope or microscope to gain their first experience of the cosmos/microcosm.
• Anyone who is curious, enjoys experimenting, physics and other STEM subjects and is looking for simple but good laboratory equipment to implement their "projects".

You can find out more directly on our separate PrintedLabs website.
