Welcome

The Fabrication Lab is a resource available to the GSD community, including its faculty, staff, and students enrolled in courses led by GSD instructors. The Lab operates as an extension of the classroom and studio environment, providing resources that support learning and designing through making, utilizing a variety of processes and materials.

The Fabrication Lab features a wide range of equipment, including CNC routers and milling machines, 3D printers, 3D scanners, Zünd and laser cutters, well-equipped shops for wood- and metal-working, and more. The facility is structured as an open environment for material-based learning and research. Scale models and full-size prototypes alike can be produced by those in any department or program of study at the GSD.

The lab is managed by Rachel Vroman, Burton LeGeyt, Marco Martins, Steve Spodaryk, and Minyoung Hong, fabrication technology specialists. Iris Ayala provides administrative support. Additional support is provided by part-time and student employees in a variety of roles. Together they provide guidance and assistance regarding any course-related fabrication work, maintain an extensive arsenal of devices and machines, and monitor safety.
