ZigiLab Becomes a New Partner of the Department of Management.
The Department of Management has entered into a partnership with the creative 3D studio ZigiLab. It will bring students internships, work placements and guest input in their courses, while giving the university and the company room to share knowledge. And we got started right away with a field trip. During VŠE Innovation Week, we took students straight to the creative workshop in Prague 8.
Jan Zigáček and Vojtěch Trš design and manufacture custom products: trophies and medals, corporate gifts, architectural models, bespoke figurines, board game accessories and component prototypes. They started out in 2021 with a single 3D printer in a flat. Today they run a print farm of 30 machines and have completed more than 500 projects. Alongside 3D printing, they also work with laser technology, UV printing and CNC machining.
For management students, ZigiLab is an inspiring real-world example: they can watch up close as a company grows, adapts its offering, and documents and automates its processes.
What the partnership offers
- Internships and work placements: students can gain experience in a growing company.
- Guest input in courses: ZigiLab representatives will bring their practical experience into the classroom.
- Knowledge partnership: the department and the company will share their know-how and explore further topics to work on together.
Our first joint event
On Monday, 2 November 2026, we visited ZigiLab in Prague 8 as part of VŠE Innovation Week. Jan and Vojtěch showed us around the workshop and demonstrated 3D printing live. In an informal discussion, we then explored the journey from the first sketch to the finished product.
We would like to thank the ZigiLab team for a great afternoon, and we look forward to more joint projects. May our partnership grow layer by layer.
