Materials

Materials will be supplied during the machine specific training sessions however when working on own projects users need to source and purchase their own materials. Here are a few suppliers we can recommend:

3D Printing

www.rigid.ink

www.3dgbire.com

www.uk.rs-online.com

For ease and time saving reasons 3D printing filament should be bought pre-coiled on a spool.

Laser Cutting

www.technologysupplies.co.uk

www.techsoft.co.uk

www.hpclaser.co.uk

Materials specified as suitable for laser use should be purchased for laser cutting.

There are a limited supply of offcuts available to use with some machines. We do ask for donations for these offcuts in the form of an honesty box. Here are our suggested donation amounts:

If you intend on bringing in large materials please provide prior notice in order to arrange access via the back stage loading bay. If you would prefer not to transport your materials every Friday we do have a FabLab storage area where materials can be left at the owner's risk.
