Soldering stations, hand tool cart, and P-Comp parts bins are accessible at all times. VLS 3.5 Laser Cutters are now for faculty demo use only. For self-guided laser cutting, please visit the Laser Lab in 2 W 13th St. Orientations are required. For additional 3D printing and scanning needs, visit the 3D Lab in 2 W 13th St.

The limit for 3D Print submissions is 5 beds max submitted per DAY (4 during finals) and 10 beds max per week (8 during finals) combined.  This is inclusive of submissions from 3D Lab and D12 Shop.

The intent of this rule is to provide equitable access to all students and to avoid flooding the queue with any one student’s prints. If you have many things to print, your submissions must be spaced out over several consultations or weeks. If you cannot satisfy all your printing needs in the Making Center shops, please consider outsourcing or purchasing your own printer.

DO NOT complete purchases in the online store when not in the lab.
A code will be issued by a technician after we have verified we have items in stock. You will be able to pick up your item after you have completed checkout in person.

A Note for Design & Technology Faculty:
We are now offering a limited number of class introductions to the D12 Prototyping Shop.  Faculty should contact Digital Tools managers to coordinate meeting times. See below for contact details.

Students must SCHEDULE A CONSULTATION to access 3D Printers. Use the button below for 3D Printing.

3D Print jobs submitted in D12 Shop on Fridays may actually be printed in the 3D Lab in 2 W 13th St. over the weekend. Please pay attention to emails regarding the pickup location for your prints.

The open access tool chest is located just inside the entrance of the lab. These tools are intended to be shared among the students in a fair and equitable manner via the honor system. As such, please handle the tools with care and return them to the chest promptly after use. There is some small hardware available for use located directly on top of the tool chest.

Select physical computing components are available for use free of charge. These are located in the corner directly adjacent to the open access tool chest.

Please speak to a technician regarding the use of any other equipment in the shop.
