Introduction
The Fabrication Lab (FL) offers a diverse range of software, machinery, and fabrication resources to transform imaginative design concepts into reality. It proudly features 42 top-of-the-line graphic workstations, six printers/plotters, a scanner, and advanced fabrication facilities. Most of the available items are accessible to students 24/7, providing them with convenient access.
In addition, the FL has recently expanded its equipment with the addition of a large format 3-axis CNC router and a High Power Laser Cutting machine. These cutting-edge, computer-controlled multi-axis devices excel at fabricating various materials, producing intricate and compound surfaces with exceptional precision. In conjunction with the existing 3-axis CNC router, laser cutter, and 3D printers, the FL is fully equipped to meet a wide range of fabrication needs.
Fabrication tools and equipment are available for reservation by students who have finished safety training. Please visit Intranet for more booking information.
