Who can come to Fab Lab?

The idea of the Fab Lab concept is that our learning environment is open to everyone. In addition to Raseko students, our facilities can also be used by entrepreneurs and private individuals.

When can I come?

The facilities are open to everyone on Tuesday and Wednesday from 14.00 to18.00. Please note that you need to book a time in advance. You can book a time to get to know the facilities or use a machine by sending a message to fablab@raseko.fi

How skilled do I need to be?

Our staff will provide guidance with the software and the machines. However, it is a good idea to learn the basics of the software in advance using various tutorials.

You can look for tutorials on the website of each software or e.g. on YouTube or Vimeo. You can find more information on the page entitled Machines, software and instructions. Click on this link to go to the page.

Where can I get help and guidance?

You will never be alone in the Fab Lab, but our staff will be there to guide you around the facilities and help out with the machines and software.

Who does what?

Our activities are based on a Do-It-Yourself approach, so our users usually make their projects independently or with some guidance. You can also inquire about the possibility to have students turn your idea into reality.

How much does it cost?

Making prototypes with the machines at Fab Lab Raseko is free of charge. We only charge you for the materials you use. You can inquire about the current prices from fablab@raseko.fi
