Maker Lab

We’ve fully integrated our desktop fabrication machines into Studio 300. Take advantage of this DIY maker technology by:

• Completing a virtual Studio 300 Orientation
• Completing a separate virtual safety instruction session
• Getting detailed machine instruction before use from our staff.

After that, you may stop by and use the embroidery, vinyl cutting, 3D carving and 3D printing machines anytime Studio 300 is open. Please note, due to COVID-19 safety restrictions, appointments are required to use the Maker lab.

Meet Our Machines

Our collection of desktop fabrication machines are miniature factories that will open new avenues for exploration, custom design and prototyping. Bring your idea to Studio 300’s Maker Lab, develop it with our computer design applications, and then manufacture a completed version using these machines.
