  • Digital Heroes Challenge

    This week, we gave a tour to the digital heroes challenge participants. At first, I think it was probably just another show and tell from the Uni, but we ended up getting them more excited when we started to let them play with some of the prototypes we have around the lab (see the difference in expression between picture one and two). Just goes to show the extra benefit of giving people an experience that they can take part in rather than just listen to or watch. Thanks to Amy van Dijk for reaching out and getting us involved with the program!

  • 1 Year Anniversary

    We are celebrating our first birthday with a community event that celebrates projects big and small. We want to make this open for 3D printing whizzes and technophobes alike. Whether you are coming to us with new plans each week or have never set foot in the lab you are invited to come along and see what we have been doing.

    The event is somewhere between a a tech conference, a networking event, and a party. We will have a little music from DJ DQ (Zach Meredith) and project explanations from previous users as well as the usual spread of beers, wines and snacks.

  • Science4Life

    Visit our stand!

    Lili’s proto lab representatives will be present at the Science for Life conference on 20th November. We will bring some fun prototypes to allow people to see what users have been building in the lab as well as letting people see what is possible using our tools. We look forward to having some interesting conversations as well as possibly setting up some partnerships with people within life sciences.

    Did you miss us at the event?

    If you are not able to visit our stand at the science for life conference you are welcome to reach out to us and discuss how we could support your education or research. This is most easily done by mailing us at lpl@uu.nl

    Invite us to your program?

    Lili’s Proto Lab can send ambassadors to conferences, research group meetings, educational meeting and other events. If you are a proponent of prototyping and want to see more hardware in your part of Utrecht University then you can reach out to us and ask us to join. The easiest way to do this is by asking as at lpl@uu.nl

  • Symposium - INFOMITI

    Closing session for interaction technology

    April 11th saw the final meeting of the INFOMITI course. Students gathered to present their ideas to teachers and guests and explain how their design encapsulated the concept of enchantment. As staff of LPL, we are always intrigued to see how final products work on the day. Often we are involved in the physical prototype but never see the programming behind it.

Coming with a bigger group?

We also offer tours,
