Our Equipment
3D Printer

3D printing is a process of creating physical objects from digital models. Our Ultimaker 2+ printer melts PLA plastic, a non-toxic biodegradable cornstarch-based plastic, into thin layers, one on top of the other, to build a physical version of the 3D model.
You can grab free open source designs from Thingiverse or create your own 3D models using the free Tinkercad software.
Cricut

Cricut Maker 3 machines can cut, score and draw using a wide variety of materials, such as cardstock, light fabrics, and vinyl.
You can design your creations in Cricut Design space for cutting on the Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut Explore Air 2 Machines.
Sewing Machine

The CS7000X sewing and quilting machine is a great option for beginners and experienced sewers alike with a plethora of convenient features.
