Fabrication & Workshop Machines
Machines that make and assemble physical things — enclosures, mechanical parts, and populated PCBs. These are shared, higher-value tools: book them, learn the safety rules, and ask before first use.
In this section​
- 3D Printing — FDM and resin (SLA) printers.
- CNC & Laser — CNC mills/routers, lathes, laser cutters/engravers.
- PCB Assembly — pick-and-place, reflow ovens, stencils.
Machine safety first
These machines have moving parts, heat, lasers and dust. Read Lab Rules & Safety, use eye/ear protection and extraction where required, and never leave a running machine unattended.
