For rapid prototyping of small components and scaled models, three 3D printers are available for use within the Fabrication Workshop.

The NextEngine desktop 3D scanner automatically creates CAD models of small objects. The scanner allows the creation of digital models of small physical models generated manually or from 3D prints which have been altered, supporting the dynamic flow of design processes between physical and digital techniques.

The AXYZ Millennium 1500 CNC router table with its 59” x 39” bed size and 3” z-axis supports the generation of full-size prototypes and models in wood and foam board. 

The Fabrication Workshop includes two Universal Laser Systems VLS-660 Laser Cutters which allow students to cut wood, acrylic and chip board, and enables them to experiment with materials and fabricate models quickly and accurately.

The metal shop is a flexible space with tools and machinery that can be configured to accommodate custom fabrications.

The tool crib is situated adjacent to the shop entrance, with a wide variety of hand tools to available for check out by students for use in the shop.

The wood shop is the largest working area, equipped with fixed saws, sanders, workbenches and plenty of floor space for large scale projects.
