Makerspaces foster creativity, collaborative work and craftsmanship. Anyone interested can use tools, machines and technologies to realize their own projects and develop their technical skills in the process. They also provide an inspiring environment where people with different backgrounds and expertise come together to learn, experiment and support each other. The following article discusses the importance, features and equipment of makerspaces, in particular the Innovation Laboratory Digitalization, which promotes interdisciplinary work at the Trier University of Applied Sciences and serves as an interface to the specialized labs. In addition, the process of prototyping is described using several application examples.

Additive manufacturing is an increasingly important manufacturing technology with huge economical potential. However, its popularity is accompanied by high material and time losses, as defects are often detected at a very late stage. One solution for a more sustainable production is the automated detection of manufacturing defects using artificial intelligence. This article describes the digitization of the defect detection process in additive manufacturing using a system based on a neural network. In addition to the steps for automated defect detection, system performance is also discussed.
