The campus of the TU Dortmund University is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the A45 crosses the B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.
The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S1 runs every 20 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by the bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr transport association, and DSW21 also offers an interactive route network map.
One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.
From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund main station and from there to the university by S-Bahn. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

What? Reuse 3D-Waste
Within the digital process chain, 3D printing is used to create prototypes, model variants and concept studies, among other things. Devices of this type are used throughout the university. This results in printing waste (support and adhesive material), misprints and disused models are currently largely disposed of as waste, even though they are usually single-origin plastic products.
With the reuse 3D-printing waste project, the Faculty of Architecture at Dortmund University of Applied Sciences and Arts has found a way to return the resulting waste to the material cycle. Interested?
Then come and see how recycled filament is produced. We look forward to your visit.

What? Spinning, crocheting, knitting - from wool to yarn
We will show you how to spin yarn from wool. Spinning with a hand spindle is easy to learn with a little patience. You can also easily make your own hand spindle. (3D print templates available from us)
All over the world, hand-spun textiles are regarded as carriers of cultural significance. Today, they are treasured and admired in our museums and are considered a world cultural heritage. Every society needs culture in order to develop. And it also needs creative people. The art of hand spinning is a great way of practising the dexterity of the hand in combination with the eye and foot. Although we are generally aware of the importance of hand dexterity for the development of the human brain and human culture, this knowledge is rarely put into practice in families and schools.

To take part, all you need is a working bike and, depending on the weather, something suitable to put on. The tour will take about 2 hours. In case of heavy rain, we will move to a room in the EF50.
