Our mission is to empower individuals from diverse backgrounds to harness the potential of digital manufacturing for positive change. We foster connectivity by bridging academia, industry, makers, and the public, creating a collaborative ecosystem. Our vision is to accelerate progress towards a sustainable future by merging curiosity, academic expertise, and industrial know-how. We advocate for a culture of making, emphasizing DIY principles and promoting a transition towards a circular economy.
