At PrusaLab, we are testing how much 3D printing can change things when it is not just seen as a way to manufacture a single part, but as part of the entire development process.

We are the Prusa Research experimental workshop, combining expertise in printer and material development with design, electronics, prototyping, and digital manufacturing.

We verify on specific projects where 3D printing truly makes sense: when it accelerates development, simplifies production, enables new shapes, reduces the number of components or opens the way to a solution that would be more complex to create using other methods.

We are neither a conventional contract manufacturer nor an open workshop for every idea. We focus on projects where we can integrate 3D printing meaningfully, experimentally and in a broader context, from the first prototype through functional solutions to the validation of the production process.

We then pass on the experience from these projects to companies, creators, and projects that want to use 3D printing practically, rather than just for effect.

PrusaLab was founded in 2018 as the open makerspace of Prusa Research. Today it is an experimental development workshop that explores, tests and demonstrates new possibilities of 3D printing in practice through real-world projects.

Membership: PrusaLab is no longer a fully open workshop. People interested in membership get in touch with us and present their project, and we accept new members based on our current capacity. Our collaboration with members is more intensive and works more like an acceleration programme than a classic makerspace membership.
