The Fablab consists of two shop spaces: one space is principally devoted to fabrication of model components in a range of materials (woods, plastics, and composites like MDF) using both traditionally analog and digital CNC shop equipment; the second space utilizes rapid prototyping equipment including 3D printers and laser cutters to complement the full scope of industry standard fabrication capabilities.
