SA+P Fab Lab
WELCOME TO THE FABRICATION LAB!
MISSION:
The primary goal of the SA+P Fabrication Laboratory is to facilitate research, creativity, experimentation, and design development for SA+P students, faculty, and staff. The Fab Lab provides extensive hands-on machine instruction and resources for users to learn new fabrication techniques, digital fabrication software, 3D modeling programs, and digital and analog fabrication equipment. The safety of students, faculty, staff, and visitors is of utmost importance in every activity that takes place in the Fab Lab. The Fab Lab staff strive to actively create a welcoming, supportive, inclusive, and inspiring environment to unleash the creativity in each of us.
OVERVIEW:
The 3,600 square foot facility plays an integral role in student work and faculty research, supporting experimentation with materials and fabrication processes. The Fab Lab is equipped with a state-of-the-art woodshop, metal shop and welding studio, CNC plasma cutter, CNC router, (3) CO2 laser cutters, model shop, hand tools, workbench space, and computer workstations equipped with current design software and 3D modeling programs.
ACCESS:
Access to the Fab Lab is limited to current SA+P students, faculty, and staff. Before access is granted, all users must complete an annual Safety Training (valid for 1 year, held at the beginning of each semester). Users must complete additional Area Trainings to gain access to the laser cutters, wood shop, metal shop, CNC router, and CNC plasma cutter (Area Trainings are valid for 3 years).
