LabOpen Day:

From Sketch to Prototype

Step into the lab and experience, up close, the full journey from concept to physical creation—

3D Printing Service:
Watch the complete process from digital model to finished object. Bring your own STL file, or create a model on-site, and see how a printer turns ideas into reality layer by layer.

Laser Engraving:
Engrave your favorite text, patterns, or logo onto a wooden coaster. From design to finished piece takes just minutes—and you can take it home as a keepsake.

Lab mentors will be on-site to explain the process and introduce the prototype development workflow available to students.

Whether for coursework, research interests, or startup prototyping, this is where you can turn ideas into tangible results.
