Digital Fabrication & Laser Shop

The Digital Fabrication and Laser Shop (DigiFab) is where members use tools like laser cutting and 3D printing to turn digital designs into physical objects. This space supports everything from rapid prototyping to small-scale production, making it an essential resource for building parts, products, and custom components with speed and precision.

Members use this shop to create everything from product prototypes and custom signage to structural parts and detailed design elements. With the ability to work across materials like wood, acrylic, and other fabrication surfaces, the shop supports a wide range of creative and commercial applications. Whether you are refining a design, testing a concept, or preparing something for production, this space is built for accuracy, consistency, and repeatability.

What makes this shop unique is its culture of shared knowledge and collaboration. Members regularly exchange best practices, design techniques, and sourcing tips through an active community network and periodic gatherings. It is a space built not just around machines, but around connection, learning, and the collective experience of building through digital fabrication.

Members and Day Pass users must complete Tool Testing.
