PolyFabLab
About PolyFabLab
New lab, new opportunities
PolyFabLab is designed to close the gap between research laboratories and the cleanroom environment, enabling PDMS processes and polymer printing in a 140 m² ISO 7 cleanroom.
The facility offers an open floor plan with direct views from the new panorama café, creating a unique opportunity for guests and students to experience cleanroom operations up close.
PolyFabLab has been equipped with brand-new instruments funded by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, alongside selected equipment and processes from previous facilities.
We look forward to welcoming you to PolyFabLab in Building 347 and to exploring the new possibilities this facility brings to research and innovation.
