The Makerspace concept from The cool tool
The cool tool Makerspace stands for active, hands-on learning in the STEM field – powered by safe and precise machines from the UNIMAT system.
From simple sawing and woodturning projects for beginners and children to advanced work with a CNC-controlled 4-axis milling machine – the modular concept offers suitable applications for all age groups and skill levels.
Thanks to the safe and user-friendly design of the machines, working in larger groups is easy and efficient – ideal for schools, workshops, or open learning environments. This allows for exciting projects with real learning success to be realized in a short amount of time.
Makerspace - Wood
The safe and innovative
UNIMAT machines take
woodworking to a new
level, enabling turning,
sawing, sanding and drilling
with child-safe machines.
Beginners and experienced
makers of all ages can work
together to realize great
projects in wood.
Makerspace - Wood + Metal
Entry into metalworking with
UNIMAT. This package
enables technical projects
such as turning to size and
milling grooves.
The comprehensive set
includes machines for precise
processing of metal, plastic
and wood.
Makerspace - CNC
This Makerspace package
provides an introduction to
the world of CNC “machining”.
The combination with manual
machines for metal, plastic
and wood enables a practical
and technically advanced
Makerspace. The safe and
mobile CNC machines make
the Makerspace even more
flexible.
UNIMAT machines for your Makerspace
Our UNIMAT machines are excellent for any makerspace because they are compact, versatile and user-friendly. They allow the processing of various materials such as metal, plastic and wood.
This enables the implementation of technical projects of varying difficulty levels suitable for both beginners and experienced makers.

⚙️ Hands-On Technology with Makerspace Projects
Our makerspace projects unlock countless creative ideas – ideal for technical education, open workshops, or project weeks.
A particularly popular highlight is the build-your-own wind turbine.
It combines creative craftsmanship with real-world technology and is perfect for group activities.
The included solar kit offers a wide range of possibilities:
In addition to the wind turbine, students can also create models focused on solar energy, e-mobility, and renewable energy.
The projects seamlessly blend woodworking, mechanics, and electronics – enabling a tangible understanding of technology that goes far beyond simple crafting.
Project for the makerspace wood + metal
Another exciting application example is milling groove joints in wood.
These precisely crafted components can be seamlessly integrated into larger projects – such as model making, furniture pieces, or functional constructions.
This makes technical woodworking clear, hands-on, and practically oriented – while also promoting concentration, precision, and a fundamental understanding of manufacturing techniques.
Project for the makerspace CNC
The Makerspace CNC is the combination between computer-aided design and manufacturing of selected components. Complex 3D models can be manufactured via computer control.
Complex turned parts with radius and tapered elements are difficult to produce on conventional lathes. This project demonstrates the advantages of computer-aided manufacturing.
