Innovation Lab

A Cultural Hub for Innovation

Asperastra Innovation Lab is a space for experimentation and production where technology, creativity, and research come together to develop new models of innovation.

Check out the upcoming events

The lab functions as an open platform: a place where diverse areas of expertise come together to develop projects in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, 3D printing, and electronics.

Businesses

Prototype an idea, try out a new technology, and figure out how it can benefit your work.

University

A space where research meets practice, with real tools and the people who use them.

Artists

Digital manufacturing and artificial intelligence to bring works and projects to life.

Professionals

Equipment and a community to help you develop your own projects.

Five Fronts

The Lab covers the entire STEAM spectrum

Maker

Digital Manufacturing

Laser cutting, CNC milling, cutting plotters, and thermoforming to turn an idea into a physical object.

3D

3D Printing and Modeling

From design to finished product, using 3D printers and modeling software.

AI

Artificial Intelligence

A local AI lab for using even complex models while ensuring data and privacy protection.

Robotics

Robotics and Electronics

Arduino, microcontrollers, and a collaborative robotic arm for learning by doing.

Art

Residencies and Exhibitions

ICC

We are a cultural and creative enterprise

Asperastra Innovation Lab is a Cultural and Creative Enterprise (ICC): it integrates digital technologies and STEAM culture, forging connections between research, production, and experimentation.

It is not just a technical space, but an environment where diverse skills come together to create new content, experiences, and projects.

Search

New technologies to understand and put to the test.

Production

Content, experiences, and prototypes created in the Lab.

Experimentation

An open environment where you can experiment without having to start from scratch.

The Distinctive Feature

The Technology Museum

A dynamic infrastructure for cultural production. Not a traditional museum, but a network of labs where emerging technologies, artistic languages, and design practices come together to create new experiences and content.

How It Takes Shape

The project comes to life in the workshop and through the people who pass through it, through four types of activities.
