Workshop in the heart of DTU
For students, employees and alumni since 1971
Volunteer driven workshop
The department of wood and metal (Afdeling for træ og metal, ATM), is a volunteer-driven collaborative workshop for students, employees and alumni from the Technical University of Denmark. We offer well-stocked facilities for both metal- and woodworking, located in the basement of S-huset near the ceramics and foto clubs.
Membership is 150 kr per semester for students, 300 kr for non-students.
As a member of the club, you can work on almost anything for personal use. A detailed list of limitations can be found on our wiki, but in broad strokes our facilities are not to be used for commercial use, creating weapons and due to our location in a basement we do not allow general use of toxic compounds like epoxy and stainless steel.
