The central FabLab is representative of the most familiar aspects of maker culture and is a good place for newcomers to experience hands on design for the first time! Located in the Science Center, it is home to a laser, nine 3D printers, a 3D scanner, vinyl cutter, CAD design software and hardware, and more. The FabLab is conveniently located next the FabShop, which houses a 5-axis and a 3-axis milling machine, a PCB mill, and a variety of wood and metal working tools. Across campus in Watson Center for Fine Arts is the FiberLab equipped for textile work; home to a digital Jacquard loom, a variety of sewing machines and surgers, and a Viking digital embroidery machine.

Classes from all disciplines make use of the space, particularly those in the humanities as they bridge the gap between traditional and newer methods of study.
