MBW | Modellbauwerkstatt

As of May 5, 2025, you can once again book appointments via our website. Unfortunately, we currently have to limit the possible bookings to the following services: Laser Cutting Appointment, Laser Cutting Waiting List, Plotter Left Appointmen,  Plotter Right Appointment, Plotting Waiting List

If you cannot attend a booked appointment or no longer need your waiting list slot, please cancel it at least 24 hours in advance via our booking website.

Waiting list slots are non-binding and will only be processed if time permits and we can fit your job in between other tasks. Therefore, please upload your file to our cloud by 09:00 on the day of your appointment.

Each job is allocated 60 minutes. If your task requires more time, it will be stopped, and you will need to book a new appointment to complete the work.

You may book a maximum of two appointments per service per week, and only one per day. This means you can laser cut twice and plot twice per week.

INFO | PLOTTING

Only the following paper types are supported – printing on your own paper is not possible:

To use the woodworking workshop, you’ll need an induction and user permit.
Just come by during opening hours and talk to one of our friendly staff.

Gypsum and 3D printing is only available after a personal consultation.

You can speak with our staff member Inga every Thursday between 09:00–13:00 and 14:00–18:00 to schedule a printing job.

Inga will explain the process to you and confirm your appointment. Once your appointment is confirmed and your .stl file is uploaded to our server, we’ll get started.

UPLOAD 3D FILES

Since the 3D and gypsum printers take several hours per job, only one appointment per day is available.
However, files from different students can be printed together in one batch.

Appointments for milling are not handled via the booking system.
Please contact Angela Andree-Scheuner directly by email to schedule an appointment:
