Welcome to the Fablab @ The Hub

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to develop a new product. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative idea that could change the world. Whatever it is, we’re here to support you in pursuing your dreams. Our Digital Fablab (fabrication lab) has all the tools you need to design and manufacture parts and products. Our specialty is teaching students with no experience about the wonders of 3D printing, laser cutting, vinyl cutting, electronics, robotics, and drone piloting. Come discover the liberating and empowering effect of becoming a maker!
