The all-round talent among the machines at Happylab! Our laser cutters can cut and engrave a wide variety of materials such as wood, cardboard, plexiglass, leather, fabric and rubber stamps with a focused infrared laser beam. In addition, there are some materials that can only be engraved - such as Glass and metal.
Training is required to use the laser cutters:

Our 3D printers use digital templates to create three-dimensional objects out of plastic. Two different processes are available at Happylab Vienna: 3D printers using the fused deposition modeling process (FDM) heat the material and apply it layer by layer. In the stereolithography process (SLA), a light-curing plastic (synthetic resin) is cured in thin layers by a laser beam.
Training is required to use the 3D printers:

The CNC milling machine is the right machine for all "tough cases" and large workpieces. Our 3-axis portal milling machine can process objects made of wood, plastic, metal and other materials. Circuit boards can also be drilled, milled and cut out automatically. A selection of milling cutters is available in our shop!

With the cutting plotter, motifs and lettering can be cut out of film. A small knife traces the contours of the graphic without damaging the backing paper. The machine is often used for wall tattoos, adhesive lettering or for printing on textiles. A selection of adhesive and flex foils is available in our shop!

Our textile lab is equipped with a digital embroidery machine, sewing machine and overlock sewing machine. This allows you to process textiles professionally and embroider them automatically. Needles, fleece and threads in different colours are available in our shop!
Training is required to use the Textile Lab:
The Textile Lab was designed and built as part of the FEM*mad project. FEM * mad (FFG No. 873000) is part of the "Talents" program of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) and is funded by the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology.
Our electronics workstation is equipped with the necessary equipment to easily manufacture electronic circuits. At Happylab, circuit boards can also be exposed, developed, etched and then assembled using soldering stations or reflow ovens.
No training is required to use the electronics workstation.

The acrylic bending machine and the vacuum former at Happylab offer two further techniques for processing plastics: With the acrylic bending machine, plastic sheets can be precisely bent and chamfered very easily. The vacuum former enables you to mold 3D objects. During vacuum forming, a heated plastic plate is sucked in by the machine's vacuum table so that the plastic adapts to the shape of the 3D model.
Training is required to use the vacuum former:
