Description
Design software:
For 2D design we are equipped with the Adobe CC Suite as well as corelDraw. For 3D design we use Autodesk fusion 360 CAD/CAM software. For toolpathing and engraving we have Vectric Aspire 10.
3D Printers:
With such models as the CraftBot 3, MakerBot Replicator Z18, and LulzBot TAZ 5 among others, the MPS Fab Lab has the tools to turn your digital designs into physical objects using a variety of print materials from standard PLA plastic to specialty materials like wood, or even rubber!
Desktop Mills
For precision milling circuit boards, we use the bantum tools othermill. We also have 2 Roland MDX-40A desktop mills which are larger, but less precise. These can be equipped with a rotary attachement for 4th axis milling, and a surface probe for 3D scanning.
Electronics
For all your electronics projects, the right tools are key. That's why we've decked out the soldering station with high quality gear, including:
-Instek Multi-Output D.C. Power
-Instek Arbitrary Function Generator
-Instek Digital Oscilloscope
-Weller Dual Channel Soldering station
-Weller soldering set
Vinyl Cutting
We use the Roland CAMM-1 GS-24 for vinyl cutting. Its Industrial grade and highly reliable.
Laser Cutter
Laser cutting and engraving is far and away our most popular offering. We have 2 Epilog Helix 60W engravers with a 18" x 24" work area and roller assembly. The Epilogs with cut soft materials up to 3/8" thick.
We also have an all new Boss Laser 3365. The Boss Laser with a 36" x 55.5" cutting area and pass through doors on both axis', the boss laser can accommodate a standard sheet of plywood! the boss laser also comes equipped with a modular Rollar / chuck rotary system allowing engraving of objects with irregular geometry. (e.g. pitchers, mugs, and glasses with square bases).
CNC Router
In our wood room we have a ShopBot PRSalpha with a 12" rotary indexer. Our working area for flat material is 48" x 48". For cylinders we can accommodate logs up to 20" in diameter and 3 ft long.
We also have a full wood shop with table saw, chop saw, joiner, planer, and many other tools for completing most wood projects. And stay tuned because there's more on the way.
Steel Shop
In our steel shop we have the Torchmate GS 2x4 CNC plasma table for cutting plates and sheets up to 1/4" thick. We also have a Lincoln Electric Tomahawk 1000 handheld plasma cutter for manual cutting.
For welding, we have the Lincoln Electric PowerMIG 350MP MIG,TIG, and ARC welder
We also have an offering of basic steel tools including grinders, chop saw, chippers, hammers, cutting torch setup among others with more on the way!
