WIA is the specialist in the field of technical workplaces for practical education, VMBO, ROC, colleges, primary schools, Fablabs and Makerspaces. In addition to education, the workplaces are also increasingly being used by companies. Not only for training, but also for production. During the METAVAK, several workplaces can be seen live. All workplaces are equipped with software, implementation, training, service and ready-to-use teaching materials.

Since the beginning of this year, WIA has been the official dealer in the Netherlands of the American Penta Machine Tools. They have developed several compact table models 5-axis milling machines for both education and industry. WIA has incorporated this machine into a complete workplace with an educational license for the leading CADCAM system Edgecam, ready-to-use teaching materials, training, installation and service.

One of the other unique workplaces is the WIA Workplace Fiber Laser Metal. This workplace is part of the workplaces for Manufacturing Industry and offers a unique complete workplace, including high-quality fiber laser machine, software, ready-made teaching materials, training and support for teachers and users. This workplace can therefore be used at any (company) school! The knowledge of industry and education has been combined for the first time to arrive at this unique concept. In the meantime, a fiber laser machine has even been developed with a working range of 600 x 400 mm, so that it can be placed really anywhere. In addition, it meets the highest safety requirements with Laser Class 1.

At the stand, WIA is launching a brand new compact 3-in-1 laser engraving machine with a 20 Watt diode laser source, combined with a 2W infrared laser module and print module. This makes it possible to cut, engrave metals and print colors with one machine. This WIA Workplace is complete with user-friendly software, a unique machine with many possibilities at a competitive price.
