Make your ideas tangible. 

An incubator for ideas and a place to engage people’s imaginations, the UVM FabLab makes rapid-prototyping tools available to students and faculty. We provide the opportunity for interaction in developing and testing innovative products and designs.

Innovate, Iterate, Make!

We encourage projects that support interdisciplinary research, innovation, and creativity. We provide digital fabrication technology and services for UVM courses, research, faculty, and students.  In addition, our facility includes soldering stations and microcontroller units to support students' hands-on projects. The lab is staffed daily by student employees who are in undergraduate STEM programs.

3D Printing

The FabLab has a large inventory of advanced 3D Printers, including both extrusion-based and stereolithographic models. Our 3D printers help students rapidly prototype small custom parts that would otherwise be difficult to manufacture or acquire.

Laser Cutting and Engraving

The FabLab’s Epilog laser cutter can be used to engrave or cut 3mm wood, 3mm acrylic, and corrugated cardboard. If you need to cut vinyl or thin plastics, we have a Cricut cutter available.

Soldering Stations

The UVM FabLab has soldering stations available to UVM students for use during open hours. FabLab technicians are able to train students in the basics of soldering, and we host soldering workshops periodically during the semester for students to assemble a soldering kit and hone their skills.
