SKIL - wood workshop
The Student Kreativity and Innovation Lab is a makerspace open to all the bachelor and master students at EPFL.
You will be able to find specific expertise regarding materials and structure including
- wood-working workshop + expertise),
- concrete (only expertise)
- composite material processing (only expertise).
SPOT - general prototyping
The Student Prototyping and Outreach Tank is a makerspace open to all the bachelor and master students at EPFL. In the free access area you can use basic tools to assemble/tests your prototype. You also have access to IT ressources, a computer room, storage room (limited) and spaces to meet with your team and ideate. This space is one of the central contact points for prototyping at EPFL. Feel free to come by, explore, and ask any questions you may have. Competent and passionate coaches and student assistants will be happy to answer your questions and guide you in the development of your prototyping journey. And don’t forget: the sooner you ask questions in the prototyping process, the easier it will be to guide you in the right direction!

SPOT - electronics
Welcome to the Ultimate Electronics Workshop!
Dive into the heart of innovation with three specialized workstations designed to bring your electronics dreams to life. Whether you're assembling your next groundbreaking gadget at the Mounting Station, testing circuits like a pro at the Testing Station, or fixing up any mishaps at the Repair Station, we've got you covered. Plus, we stock essential components for quick prototyping—so you're never far from your next big idea. Let's spark some creativity and get those circuits buzzing!
SPOT - PCB assembly room
Welcome to the PCB Assembly Room, where circuit dreams become reality! Equipped with precision tools and top-of-the-line gear, this is the place to turn your bare boards into functioning tech wonders. Whether you're placing tiny components or making those perfect solder joints, we've got everything you need to bring your electronics to life, one connection at a time. Time to make those PCBs shine!
This room is exclusively reserved for PCB assembly. To use is you need to come discuss with your coach as soon as possible
SPOT - 3D printing
The 3D printing space of SPOT is providing students with advanced resources, training and coaching for rapid prototyping.
With a community of more than 500 trained users each year, this modern and evolutionary workshop serves as a 24/7 3D printing farm that produces tens of thousands parts per year.
It is equiped with reliable and well-maintained machines that enable students to learn, innovate and meet their challenges successfully.
Students can use basic (but wonderful) open-access 3D printers right after the training.
For more specific needs, more advanced printers are available under the coach's supervision.
Because sustainability is one of our primary concerns, we also choose the most eco-friendly machines and consumables, and we work towards recycling our plastic waste!
