An exhibition and series of events on the topic of the circular economy in Hamburg. The focus: local production, repairing, recycling and reusing for a resilient, sustainable green and circular economy directly on site.
🚀 We often talk about open source hardware and digital manufacturing technologies, but what exactly is behind them and how is an open source 3D printer actually built? Until December 7, 2023, the pop-up Circular Hub on the Jupiter campus is all about the circular economy with lots of workshops on offer:
Hands-on Workshops
Introduction to 3D printing & assembly of a 3D printer from the OpenLab Starter Kit:
30.11. + 03/04/05.12.2023 - Hello, 3D Printer! (Intro-Workshop in 3D-Printing)
Hello, 3D Printer! During this 2-hour workshop we invite you to design and manufacture your very own first 3D printed souvenir to take home with you. You will learn foundations of 3D CAD (computer aided design) modeling, toolpath generation and fabrication. Through this hands-on experience you will understand foundational concepts behind this revolutionary technology and know how to apply it to solve your own challenges.
Come on your own or bring your kids and friends. The more - the merrier! The workshop is held in English.
Dates (each ca. 2 hours),
- Thursday, 30.11.23 / 10:00 h & 14:00 Uhr
- Sunday, 03.12.23 / 10:00 h

Please register for free via the registration link
01. + 02.12. - 10:00 - 18:00 h - Open Lab Starter Kit (OLSK) Build Workshop
The Open Lab Starter Kit (OLSK) Build Workshop is designed as a learning experience for participants to learn more about open source machines and local production. During the workshop, participants will build a 3D printer from a pre-built kit together with experienced tutors.
By building the 3D printer, participants will be able to understand how it works, how it is made and therefore how it can be repaired, thereby learning about the possibilities of open source hardware.
The aim of the workshop is to build a working 3D printer and train the participants in the process.
Open workshop, just drop by and join in! The workshop is held in English.

đź“Ś In addition to the workshops, the 3-week exhibition in the form of a micro-factory will showcase other digital machine tools and factory setups to explore the potential of local production. Specific products that have been or can be manufactured in the micro-factory will also be on display.
