All our programmes have a global focus and practical application and are aligned and connected to the industries and the changing world of creative professions through constant collaboration with experts, companies and institutions.

UDIT has a state of the art Fab Lab, where students transform their ideas into real prototypes using advanced digital manufacturing technology. It is part of the international network of Fab Labs endorsed by M.I.T. UDIT has had a state of the art digital manufacturing and research laboratory since October 2016 . This project was born from the need to transform the creativity of our students into real projects. Thanks to these facilities, UDIT students will be able to prototype their designs, investigate the use of materials and produce real objects. It is equipped with digital fabrication equipment and machinery such as 3D and sintering printers, a thermoforming machine, a laser cutter, an oscilloscope, a digital embroidery/knitting machine, electronic welding kits, a CNC digital machining centre, design computers and the revolutionary Japanese virtual design technology Shima Seiki.
