Metalab is a community-run hackspace in Vienna where members and guests work on personal and shared projects. The space offers tools including a laser cutter, 3D printers, a CNC mill, a lathe, sewing machines, a vinyl plotter and an electronics lab.

The space is financed mainly by membership fees, with a standard fee of 30 euros and reduced rates for students and people in precarious financial situations. Membership is not required to use the space or attend events. Many tools are free to use and donations are welcomed, except for the laser cutter, which is charged at 0.60 euro per minute of cutting time.

Metalab describes itself as Vienna's oldest and largest hackspace. Its interest groups cover programming, networking, amateur radio, electronics, robotics, art, activism and inclusion. The space is located at Rathausstraße 6, 1010 Wien, and is generally open daily from 18:00, with public open days on alternate Thursdays and fourth Fridays of the month.

Product: Shared hackspace with fabrication and electronics tools, plus public workshops, talks and meetups organised by members.
