FabLab – A Useful Facility at Campus Golm

There is a very special corner on Campus Golm, in House 25, called the Fabrication Lab (FabLab) – a facility where students can learn how to work with a variety of useful technical equipment. A range of instruments is available there, including 3D printers, laser engraving and cutting equipment, as well as tools for electronics prototyping and characterisation.

Dr. Johannes Gurke is the main contact person for the FabLab. At the end of June, he gave us a tour of the facility as part of the activities of our graduate school, the IRTG – for which we are very grateful!

The FabLab also helped us bring an interesting idea for the upcoming LMR 2026 conference to life: producing shopping trolley tokens engraved with the CRC/LMR logo as a little giveaway! Many thanks to Prof. Amitabh Banerji for the idea and, of course, to Tom Fielitz, a PhD researcher in the group of Dr. Matthias Hartlieb, for his professional help and patience. He managed to produce around 200 colourful pieces within just a couple of hours! Many thanks as well to Sophie and Amy, the new student assistants in the Banerji group, for their helping hands!

We are excited about the start of LMR 2026 tomorrow! 🌈🔬✨
