Tools & Machines
Here’s a list of the tools, machines and materials available in the Makerspace & Lab. All ETH students are free to use the machines and only pay for the material.
Not sure about which tool to use or how to use it? Contact us and we can advise you on your project or put you in contact with an expert. If you visit us during the Support Hours, our Makerspace Instructors will be around to help you with your questions.
NOTE:
To use an advanced machine, you’ll need a Machine Introduction before getting started. Check out the individual machines for more information.
Use of the Life Science Lab and all machines therein requires project onboarding and a general lab safety introduction.
