This includes

  • Millwork for hardwood, vacuum bag forming

The lab is open to all upper-division design school students to use during open hours, providing they have had the intro demonstration and have a lab card. The staff has a combined 60+ years of experience in manufacturing, fabrication, and design that serve to help students in best practices, and sound methodology in model building and prototype work.
