Materials

The Making Rooms keeps a stock of standard materials for use with the machines and processes. For some of these such as acrylic and plywood for the laser cutter, 3D prints in resin and higher value electronics we charge for the cost of the materials, unless you can find a suitable offcut in the Fab Lab which are free.
Alternatively Fab Lab users can bring their own materials which is advisable if you are using specialist materials, less common colours, high-value components, etc.
The common materials we have for use are:
