Space & equipment · Ilica 69

Resources

Tools are only the beginning — what gets made here is skill, ideas and the confidence to carry them out.

A space we renovated ourselves

Since November 2019 our home has been Ilica 69 — part of the former Mega zipper factory. The space was in poor shape when we took it on, so we rebuilt it with our own hands: new heating, sanitation, work zones. The pandemic and the Zagreb earthquake of 22 March 2020 slowed the renovation, but since June 2020 our hundred square metres across two rooms have combined project preparation with workshops and machine work.

What we work with

Digital fabrication

3D printers of various designs, laser cutters and CNC machines — the core of every FabLab.

Electronics & IoT

Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms, IoT sensors, and biosensors we use with children and in solutions for people with disabilities.

3D scanning

From Kinect and Structure Sensor to structured-light devices — for everyday work and project research.

Analogue & hand tools

We keep classic techniques alive: power and hand tools stand as equals next to digital machines.

Software

Primarily open-source, alongside donated licences from partners such as Autodesk.

Come visit

The space is open to the curious — from a first workshop visit to developing an idea of your own.
