The Raplab digital workshop offers low-threshold access to advanced digital tools for model and prototype building. Converting your CAD drawing into a physical model to validate proportions, spatial arrangements, and the like has never come at a lower price. The possibilities are endless with laser cutters, cutting plotters, and 3d-printers at your fingertips.

Access

Access is available to D-arch staff members with the exception of bachelor students below the 3rd Semester.

All new users must complete the Raplab safety introduction and digital workshop courses before they can be granted access.

Please come by office with your ETH card after completing the courses so we can give access using our card reader.

ETH members outside of D-Arch must get in contact with us before begining the enrollment process.
