Inside the Maker Lab · CIC Berlin
From idea to a working prototype.
This is the workbench for your prototype: 3D‑printing, electronics, wood & metal, textile & finish — in one place, with an induction, with the team by your side. For founders from the SIB‑programmes and HWR members interested in starting up; external makers are welcome as soon as the terms of use are in place.
00 — Overview
Your workshop for the first real prototype.
The SIB Maker Lab is the prototyping workshop of Startup Incubator Berlin — the place where an idea becomes something you can hold in your hands. It is the sister of the SIB Media Lab: there you build the story, here you build the prototype.
The lab
Place & tools
Workshop, equipment and induction in one place. You work on your own project — the team is there when you need it.

The programme
Money & coaching
Funding, stipend and mentoring run through the SIB-programmes. The lab is the workshop that goes with them — not a funding programme of its own.

01 — Areas
Four areas, one workshop.
From the first printed part to the trade-fair demo: you work across four areas — after an induction on the equipment, with the team by your side.
A-02
Electronics
Solder, measure, flash — until your sensor board runs.

A-03
Wood & Metal
Cutting, drilling, enclosures — for chassis and trade-fair demos.

Textile & Finish
Sewing, upholstery, surface finishing — the final touch.
Drawing — photo to followThe detailed equipment list is being catalogued right now and will then appear live from the inventory system — no dead entries.
02 — Induction & access
First the induction, then the machine.
Short, hands-on, once per equipment group — after that you work on your own. Three levels, one system:
Free after basic induction
Workbenches and hand tools — after a short basic induction you work independently.
After equipment induction
Machines with their own induction — once per equipment group, then you are cleared.
Supervised only
The large machines only run in supervised time slots — we are there with you.
The traffic light explains our induction model — it is not a contract excerpt. More on the Induction & access page →
03 — Process
Three steps to the workbench.
Request
Tell us on the Hours & Contact page what you want to build. We clarify needs, area and a date.
Induction
Safety and equipment — once per equipment group, short and hands-on.
Build
Your project, your hands. The team is there when you need it.
Build something you can touch.

Two labs, one roof.
A lab duo at CIC: Media Lab for the story, Maker Lab for the prototype. Both are offers of Startup Incubator Berlin.
Sister lab
Studios, gear and know-how for your media production — live streaming, video, podcast, photo.
