smart lab Carinthia
Ideas need space, tools and committed people!
The smart lab Carinthia in Villach offers not only a spatial infrastructure, but also the necessary machines to realize your own ideas. We thus give you free access to production machines such as 3D printers and scanners, a laser cutter, a cutting plotter, a CNC milling machine, an electronic workstation and suitable design software. This allows you to realize your own ideas and to manufacture a wide variety of products according to individual requirements.
Innovation Workshop – Innovationswerkstatt
The Science and Energy Labs of the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences were expanded. A high-quality innovation workshop was opened at the Villach location on the initiative of the Industrial Engineering and Management study program. In the newly adapted room, CUAS degree programs and external companies can draw on the knowledge of CUAS experts and achieve "Five steps to innovation".
The aim is to establish a unique contact point for innovation and technology management in Carinthia. In Carinthia's first innovation workshop, trend analyses will in future be carried out in workshops, ideas concepts developed, business models created and approaches to solutions developed on the basis of prototyping. "The development of innovative business models needs a professional environment, from high-quality technical equipment, process and methodological knowledge to professional moderation or support," explains initiator Erich Hartlieb. "At Carinthia Innovation Workshop we offer infrastructure and expertise together with innovation experts," summarizes Erich Hartlieb.
Develop innovation efficiently
The offer can be used not only by degree programs at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences but also by companies. The room offers a high-quality range of moderator equipment for creative processes. For evaluation and analysis, technology portals are available for research purposes, such as trend and patent data. For the professional production of prototypes, 3D printers, CNC machines (Computerized Numerical Control; machine tools capable of automatically producing high-precision workpieces even for complex shapes), mechatronics equipment and test laboratories for materials testing, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics can also be used.
