Home to MVP Studio and nGRIP Labs. Where NUS researchers and founders are given the tools needed to develop deep-tech into something that the world can use.
Makerspace
The build floor where NUS researchers, founders, and faculty turn deep-tech ideas into working products, on real engineering equipment.
Startup lab / National GRIP
The same facility, geared toward ventures heading to market. Where deep-tech research becomes a product investible enough to raise on.
| Equipment | What it's used for | Projects that benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimaker S3 3D printer | Dual-extrusion FDM printing of functional parts in engineering plastics and composites. | Hardware ventures iterating on enclosures, jigs, and fit before tooling. |
| Industrial Drying Oven | Controlled-temperature curing, annealing, and moisture removal for parts and materials. | Materials, coatings, and resin work that needs heat treatment before testing. |
| Handheld Digital Multimeter | Spot-checking voltage, current, and continuity during board bring-up and debug. | Early-stage electronics teams tracing faults on custom boards. |
| Tektronix MD034 Mixed Domain Oscilloscope | Capturing analogue, digital, and RF signals, with a built-in spectrum analyser for EMI. | Connected devices and wireless startups chasing signal and interference issues. |
| Epilog Fusion Pro 24 Laser Cutter | Precision cutting and engraving of acrylic, wood, and thin materials. | Device housings, enclosures, and structural prototypes. |

It depends on the equipment and your clearance. Some tools you can run yourself once you've been trained and signed off; others are operated by the technical team because of cost or safety. The facility is by appointment, so the first visit covers what you're cleared to use.
The facility runs by appointment, not drop-in [TBD]
[Needs the team's answer, and it's the highest-stakes question on the page
Most equipment requires a safety induction before you can use it, and some tools need specific sign-off.
Yes, with a collaboration agreement in place.
