Head of the Electromechanical Workshop
Mechanical and Electrotechnical Design Projects
The range of designed objects runs from everyday household items to artistic works such as sculptures and installations. Their production involves developing appropriate components, designing structural frameworks, and testing lighting concepts. The Electromechanical Workshop at the Faculty of Design provides students from various disciplines with the opportunity to realize such projects.
Projects of varied Scale and Complexity
From small student assignments to large-scale thesis projects—after an introduction to the workshop’s machines and tools, students can carry out their design projects independently. Support is available for manufacturing individual components as well as complete objects. Regardless of the project's ambition or complexity, students receive guidance in developing practical solutions.
Prototypes and Artistic Objects
Many projects require specific components made from metal, wood or plastic, or the development of electromechanical connections or motorized solutions. The workshop enables students to create interactive objects that respond to movement or light, as well as functional prototypes for technical applications. The workshop provides the necessary infrastructure to materialize physical ideas.
Collaboration with other Workshops
The Electromechanical Workshop is equipped with modern machinery for metal and wood processing. Additionally, students have access to neighboring workshops such as the Plastics Workshop, which features laser-cutting technology, and the Advanced Technology Lab, which specializes in 3D printing. The Metal Workshop also offers precise fabrication capabilities using computer-controlled machines.
The close collaboration between different workshops expands opportunities for interdisciplinary projects, promoting diverse approaches to complex design challenges.
