Makerspace Projects
Disclaimer & Guidelines for Project Submission
The Makerspace is open to all students, however certain tools can only be used by trained staff members. It is required that project submissions are not last minute as we might not be able to facilitate your project. Depending on the scope of the project providing as much lead time as possible is required.
The Makerspace is not a place to simply put in an order and walk away - the intent of the Makerspace is for students, staff and faculty to engage the technology and learn new techniques. This means that our staff can aid in your project, but we will not carry it out for you. That is the requester’s responsibility.

Makerspace Equipment
3D Printer (Extrusion)
3D Printer Extrusion
Extrusion 3D printers are similar to a hot glue gun. The printer keeps building layer upon layer to create the desired object. There are various types and colours of filament to achieve your goals!
3D Printer (Resin)
3D Printer Resin
Resin printer material starts as a liquid and is light sensitive. A screen inside of the printer acts like a photocopier and shines light through the screen hardening the resin. Resin printers afford a higher resolution but less durability than PLA printers.
Laser Engraver
Laser Engraver
The Laser Engraver is a form of CNC (Computer Numerical Control) which can engrave or cut certain substrates on an X & Y axis. A versatile tool that can also remove certain coatings or even etch stone & wood.
UV Flatbed & Latex Printing
UV Flatbed Printing
The UV Flatbed printer is a printing machine in which wet ink is applied to a flat substrate and then cures when UV light passes over the ink causing it to harden instantly.
Latex Printing
Latex printing is applied to roll stock (vinyl, posters, etc.). Latex is far more flexible and can be manipulated and stretched slightly.
Vinyl Cutting
Vinyl Cutting
Adhesive backed vinyl is one of the oldest methods of modern sign making. In the Makerspace we have a desktop Cricut machine available for student use as well as a 54” plotter for larger projects.
T-Shirt Press
T-Shirt Press
A press that applies heat and pressure to apply cut heat transfer vinyl (HTV) to a garment. The Makerspace has plans to add additional T-Shirt processes in the near future.
CNC Router
CNC Router
A CNC (Computer Numerical Control) Router is a flat table with a router bit that is controlled to cut, engrave, or shape a piece of material using a router bit on an X, Y, and Z axis.
Raspberry PI & Arduino
Raspberry PI & Arduino
Raspberry PI and Arduino are two separate solutions that can be programmed and provide computer integration into projects.
Air Brushing & Painting
Air Brushing & Painting
The Makerspace offers airbrushing, acrylic paints and finishing solutions in order to create a proper finished product.
