Digital fabrication methods can save students time, and also open up new worlds of possibilities for their work and creative processes.
The Department of Art and Art History offers a number of digital fabrication tools including a CNC router, CNC plasma cutter, two laser cutters, 24鈥� vinyl cutter, and a number of 3D printers. In order to access these resources, students must be currently enrolled in an AAH class, working on coursework, and (for laser /CNC router use) make an appointment online. Most of these tools reside in our Digital Fabrication Lab, room 279 on the second floor of the VAC. To see the Digital Fabrication Lab hours, or schedule a laser appointment, click the links below. If time is not available on one laser, be sure to check the other鈥檚 availability, but do not book both at the same time or both your appointments will be canceled.
