X-Lab is a space for exploration and experimentation, loca­ted at the LTH campus. At X-Lab, you will find a makerspace with tools, facilities, and know-how to support your creative endeavor.

Read more about X-Lab background and history here.

The X-Lab is usually open from Sunday to Thursday from 13:00 to 18:00.

We are closed on Fridays, Saturdays, public holidays and examination periods. Please follow our website for current opening hours!

We have a range of tools for making and prototyping, including 3D printers, laser cutters, sewing machines, electronics and wood working tools. See here for a list of tools.

If you are a student at Lund university, you can sign up to the X-Lab course in Canvas and visit the page “Tools and instructions” for further information.

• Everyone at LU and LTH (Students and employees) is welcome, regardless of previous knowledge, study program or department. Use of the makerspace is free, except for materials, which you buy here.
• You can use the X-Lab makerspace even if you are an absolute beginner – we are here to help and will provide instructions and support to get you started.

No, we don't have insurance that covers third parties such as the general public, so unfortunately that's not possible. Please check other makerspaces which are open to the public (Lund, Malmö).

Use of the makerspace is free for LU students and employees, except for materials, whichcan be purchased at X-Lab.

As a visitor who is not a student or an employee at Lund University, you are welcome to contact us for inquiries and for a visit to X-Lab. 

Upon arrangement, we offer special events and sessions such as renting the makerspace for specific projects, exploring and discovering new ways for prototyping, and running creative team-building sessions with you and your colleagues. Our staff helps to put together and run an exciting program.

General use of X-Lab, such as occasional visits for using our makerspace, is not possible due to insurance regulations.
