At KEA, you will find many different labs and workshops that students, teachers and alumni can use for projects, teaching and assignments. In the workshops it is possible to access 3D printers, laser cutters, robots, VR equipment and much more.
Labs at KEA
Circular Lab
Circular Lab works with materials and new business ideas with a circular mindset.
Circular Lab is a new lab at KEA and is under development.
As part of the Circular Lab you will find Material ConneXion. In Material ConneXion you will find physical samples, development and information about the latest materials.
Circular Material Lab
Circular Material Lab is a hands-on lab focusing on circular economy, sustainability and materials.
In the Circular Material Lab, there is room and space to explore, experiment and work with materials of all kinds. We focus on sustainability and circular economy, and we work with the materials with this in mind. We work with everything from seaweed, bioplastics and bacteria, to how to extend the life of existing materials in products, such as oil-based plastics, textiles and paper and much more.
The laboratory is used for teaching, workshops, events and experiments.
Lab 16
Lab 16 is a prototype workshop within AM/3D printing and SMD Electronics.
Lab 16 specialises in AM/3D printing and SMD Electronics, but also has a wide range of prototype/production machines such as a laser cutter, CNC cutters, a plastic injection moulder and a printer cutter.
Lab 16 is for students, alumni and collaborators.
