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!

Building 347
The existing building 347 will house the new PolyFabLab and is being prepared for the construction.
Ground Floor
The ground floor is being prepared for the construction. Staff members have moved to other buildings (345, 358, 451).
