Innovation Centers
3D Printing, Design, Fabrication & More
Let's make something!
Our Innovation Centers are creative, collaborative and educational spaces that provide access to advanced software, emerging technologies and production equipment. There is no charge to use the equipment in the Innovation Centers, however users are responsible for the costs of consumable materials (e.g., 3D printing filament, vinyl material). Limited supplies of consumable materials are available for purchase. We encourage innovators to bring their own pre-approved materials for their projects.
Before you can use our Innovation Centers, you must complete a required orientation class that will acquaint you with our procedures, equipment and software (view the orientation class schedule). After you have completed your orientation class, please print and fill out these forms. The completed forms must be returned to the branch where you attended orientation.
