Materials

Learners will need to supply some of their own materials.  The FabLab does supply some additional, supplemental materials at no cost, and saves useful scraps from previous projects that others can use free of charge.  All Learner-supplied materials will need to be approved by FabLab staff prior to use.  Please see individual equipment pages for more specifics!
