Laser engraver room Nr. 017 B

There are two laser engraving machines equiped with air extraction system. Lasers can be used for cutting and engraving various materials that do not contain PVC:

• HDF (high-density fiberboard);
• Acrylic;
• Wood products: plywood, wood, cardboard, paper;
• Textiles;
• Leather.

Mirror and glass can only be engraved.

The laser is not intended for cutting and engraving metal.

Work desks and stationary computers with requisite software are available. Additionally there is a large work desk with a long metal ruler for cutting materials with a utility knife.

It is recommended to make a reservation in advance, if you want to work with a laser.

Electronics and robotics room No. 018

In the Electronics and robotics room you have an opportunity to develop, experiment and make interactive design prototypes, carry out creative assignments and consult on topics of digital technologies, programming and electronics.

You are provided with:

• Electronic circuit test and measurement equipment – multimeter, oscilloscope, function generator;
• Soldering and rework equipment – soldering irons, hot air soldering station, solder sucker;
• Manual tools – wire cutters, wire strippers, connector crimp tools, hot glue pistols, screwdrivers, etc.;
• Arduino prototyping platforms and its requisite modules;
• A range of electronic sensors;
• peripheral devices.

Up to two students can work in this room at a time. Workplaces are suited for personal computer use.

It is recommended to make a reservation in advance. You may contact the responsible staff of laboratory by e- mail.

CNC milling machine. Rooms No. 132 and 133

5-axis CNC machining center can produce and complex geometric 2D and 3D shapes, objects and prototypes.

The advantage of this CNC milling machine over others of the same class is a greater machining volume. It is possible to mill (x 3300, y 1100, z 500 mm) sized objects, with milling cutters up to 230 mm in length and up to 180 mm in diameter and saws with a diameter up to 350 mm.

Only trained employees of the laboratory can operate this machine. Laboratory has all the required software for modeling 2D/ 3D shapes. It is possible cut various materials like wood, plywood, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), plastic foam, extrusion polystyrene (Styrodur) and plastic.

The responsible staff of the laboratory advises on all questions regarding the proper preparation of drawings, compatibility formats.

Regarding the completion of the task with CNC machines for the purposes of the study process, it is recommended to make a pre-registration, contact the head of Design Laboratory.
