There is a variety of equipment available for faculty and student use found at the Materials Lab – this information list is constantly being updated.

Students must take an introduction shop orientation course about the Materials Lab to gain access to the equipment and resources. For some equipment such as the CNC Machines you will need to work directly with a full-time staff member in order to operate the equipment. For access to the laser cutters a separate orientation and certification process is required for access and use. Some equipment can be directly checked out from the main checkout desk for a short period of time.

If at anytime you have a question about shop equipment and/or shop safety please reach out to a shop lab attendant or ask one of the full-time staff for help!
