Rapid Prototyping Center

Open to all campus citizens & the surrounding community.

Open Hours Spring 2023

The Rapid Prototyping Center is open 12 PM - 5 PM Monday through Friday, starting February 5th 2024.


 

The Angel P. Bezos Rapid Prototyping Lab is a state of the art makerspace in the E.A. Fernandez IDEA Factory. Here, students will have a safe environment where they can learn how to operate a variety of manufacturing tools that can be used to make any design come to life. The capabilities of this lab include 3D printing, laser cutting, 3D scanning, water jetting, and basic electronics. If you are already trained, make a reservation on our calendar to get making!

First time users come stop by the lab for a tour and learn how to reserve machines!
