About PolyFabLab
New lab, new opportunities
PolyFabLab will close the gap between the research labs and the cleanroom, enabling PDMS processes and Polymer printing, in a 140m2 ISO7 cleanroom. The new lab will utilize an open floorplan with direct view from the new panorama Café, bringing the cleanroom experience closer to our guests and students.
The lab will be equipped with brand new equipment granted trough the Novo Nordisk Foundation. The lab will also be equipped with our existing equipment and processes from the PackLab, which we had to close for the construction.
Welcome to PolyFabLab in building 347!
