If you are taking one of the "Introduction to Fab Lab" classes, or are thinking about taking this class, below is a list of equipment on which you will receive training. You will also be trained on the software that is associated with the operation of these machines. You will learn the basics of how to design and create products using these machines, with the exception of the UPrint 3D printer, which uses 3 dimensional computer aided design (CAD) files for its input. The community college teaches separate 3D CAD classes in the CAD lab which is one floor above the Fab Lab.
