Find a lab/space for creating/making
Terrapin Works offers several avenues by which members of the University and external community can access resources. Many of our 3D printing and rapid prototyping solutions are offered on a service-model basis; users can request a job and we will complete the job for the user. Some of our equipment also operates on a self-service-model basis; users can be trained on the equipment and then schedule time on the equipment to complete the job themselves.
