Prototyping Lab

Prototyping tools allow users to create and transform digital designs into physical objects. Whether you’re developing classroom materials, building functional prototypes, or exploring new creative techniques, prototyping equipment supports hands-on experimentation and innovation.

• 3D Design & Printing: Create three-dimensional models, engineering prototypes, replacement parts, geometric manipulatives, and custom teaching tools using Bambu Lab 3D printers.
• 3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering: Capture physical objects as digital 3D models to study their structure, modify designs, or reproduce objects using the REVO 3D scanner.
• Laser Cutting & Engraving: Use the xTool P2 laser cutter to create precise components for architectural models, engineering projects, educational puzzles, signage, and personalized designs.
• Digital Cutting & Crafting: Transform digital designs into stickers, stencils, paper models, vinyl decals, and classroom displays using the Brother ScanNCut and Silhouette Cameo 4 Plus.
• Rapid Prototyping: Combine multiple technologies to develop, test, evaluate, and refine solutions to real-world challenges.

Safety Tests and Liability Waiver Must Be Completed Before Using the Prototyping Lab:

• General Safety Test
