Guidelines
Updated November 27, 2023
The FabLab’s Epilog laser cutter can be used to engrave or cut the 3mm wood, 3mm acrylic, and the corrugated cardboard we have in stock; check with your professor to find out if the FabLab is supplying materials for your class project. Scrap pieces of wood and acrylic, and corrugated cardboard are available for all members of the UVM community to use for laser cutting projects. You also may bring in organic fiber materials like basic paper and cotton fabric.
If you need to cut thicker wood, CEMS and studio art students have access to the School of the Arts Woodshop. All members of the UVM community have access to specialized fabrication services (including the cutting of thicker wood) with the Generator Maker space in Burlington, UVM’s IMF, or the Vermont Manufacturing Collaborative.
If you want to cut vinyl or thin plastics , we have a Cricut paper cutter available and you may bring in your own supplies.
If you want to use the fiber laser to mark metal or glass, please send us a note describing the service you need at fablab@uvm.edu.
We look forward to working with you!
