There are many moving parts to make your Fab Lab a safe, effective, and fun learning environment for your students. Here are just some of the equipment you might use, along with helpful guides and tutorials to get you started. And if you have a suggestion about Fab Lab equipment, we'd love to hear from you.
3D Printers and Scanners
The Sindoh 3DWOX DP 200 is designed with an enclosed structure to maintain a consistent temperature for better quality prints. 3DWOX is also designed with user safety in mind. All of the moving parts are inside the enclosed structure for safe operation. The enclosure also reduces noise for a quiet, safe and optimized print experience.
Laser Cutters
The Epilog Helix 24 Laser is the ideal choice for Fab Lab engravers looking to work with large engraving pieces. The Helix's generous 24" x 18" x 8.5" (610 x 457 x 215.9 mm) engraving area will allow you to engrave multiple pieces as well as thicker materials, including boxes and vases.
Engravers
The Roland EGX Pro series CNC engraving machines have a large cutting area and provide the servomotor speed and precision that professional engravers demand. As well as offering a complete ADA compliant signage solution, the EGX has the versatility to create routered signs, decorated apparel, awards, corporate crests, promotional items, vehicle decorations, and other high-revenue items.
Vinyl Cutters
The Roland GR series large format vinyl cutter integrates with Roland software and print devices, as well as other manufacturers' software and printers. Featuring Roland’s famously precise and reliable CAMM-1 technology, GR cutters far exceed the needs of today’s graphics professionals with outstanding media versatility, speed, accuracy, and state-of-the-art cutting features.
Routers and Plasma Cutters
