Summary
Nicolai Hertle is a product designer and carpenter with 11 years of experience building makerspaces and educational programs that bridge analogue craft and digital fabrication. He founded Fab Lab Berlin in 2012 and has since advised, designed and outfitted numerous workshops and learning environments, combining hands-on tool expertise (3D printing, laser cutting, CNC) with interior and program design. As Programmleitung Digitale Bildung at neuland21 he applies this maker mindset to rural innovation, translating technical capacity-building into community and economic development. He also consults and runs courses on practical digital manufacturing, turning complex production processes into accessible learning experiences. Less obvious: his background in traditional woodworking informs pragmatic, material-aware designs for additive and subtractive manufacturing contexts.
