This is part of an initiative to map fab labs in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals. This page is open edit.

The FabLab Winti offers access to the digital production toolchain, workshops etc. public for everyone in the City and wider area of Winterthur, Switzerland - opened since December 2014.

Winterthur is a city with a long history of manufacturing and engineering. We see a strong correlation with the ZHAW Winterthur, University of applied sciences, with various faculties like the ZHAW School of Engineering. The public as well as students of the ZHAW shall benefit from the FabLab Winterthur and get easy access to 3D Printers, Lasercutters, CNC-machines etc. We also provide workshops for digital fabrication, 3D printing, programming (like Arduino), electronics etc.

As per Pi-day, March 14, 2014 the FabLab Winti club has been founded. By the end of Sept. 2014 a crowdfunding campaign ended with 130% very successfully. On December 14, 2014 the FabLab Winti was opened.
