Metalab

Next to self-built machines, furniture, and decorations (mostly featuring the use of LEDs), the infrastructure provided to all members as well as externs includes a lathe, a CNC machine, a CAD station, a laser cutter, a RepRap, two Makerbots, electronic measurement tools like oscilloscopes and pattern generators, soldering irons, and other tools needed for electronics development.

[9] The main room, library, and lounge are all equipped with a projector; several uplinks provide access to the Internet via Gigabit Ethernet or Wireless LAN.

The core/organization team (composed of volunteers) meets monthly to discuss matters relevant to the hackerspace, like current and future renovation projects and equipment purchases.

Metalab has been a source of multiple startups, open source and art projects including Mjam, currently, Austria's largest internet food delivery company, YEurope, which was Europe's first YCombinator inspired startup accelerator,[10] the annual DeepSec Security Conference, Graffiti Research Lab Vienna, the 3D modeling software OpenSCAD and the beginnings of what was later developed into Makerbot at NYC Resistor.

Metalab keeps an original Austrian Telephone Booth in its main room, which is also transported to wherever the group wants to signal presence at international conventions such as the Chaos Communication Camp in Germany.
