The Student Machine Shop (SMS) went into operation in spring 2016 as a complement to the machine shop of the University of Hamburg.
The institute’s scientists and technicians as well as PhD students of the IMPRS-UFAST can use the SMS to make their own parts out of metal or plastic or modify their already existing workpieces. After a machine instruction, all users work independently, but under supervision of the shop manager. Consultation and support on production-ready designs and dimensioning can also be offered.
Basic experience in metal processing is helpful but not necessary when working in the SMS. All users will be instructed, guided, trained and supported individually to reach their defined goals. To a limited volume, complex and demanding parts can also be ordered at the SMS. They will be machined by the shop manager.
All users will receive safety instructions before using any of the tools or machines. Safety and technical trainings are offered in German and English.
The SMS is well equipped with hand tools, precise machine tools and measuring devices to ensure a professional working environment.
