Meet the cre­atives & tech­ni­cal spe­cial­ists at the heart of Fab Lab South West

A new addi­tion to the Fab Lab, a 3D print­er capa­ble of print­ing in nylon and TPU, with­out sup­port mate­r­i­al. This print­er can cre­ate high-qual­i­ty com­po­nent-ready parts.

In addi­tion to our Ulti­mak­er dual extrud­er print­ers, we have invest­ed in 3 Bam­bu Lab FDM print­ers, 2 with AMS units allow­ing mul­ti­colour and mul­ti-mate­r­i­al print­ing. These print­ers can print in a range of mate­ri­als, such as bio­plas­tics like PLA & PHA, and oth­er plas­tics such as PETG, Nylon and TPU.

The Leica BLK360 cap­tures the world around you with full-colour panoram­ic images over­laid on a high-accu­ra­cy point cloud. Sim­ple to use with the sin­gle push of one but­ton, the BLK360 is the small­est and light­est imag­ing laser scan­ner of its kind. Any­one who can oper­ate a tablet can now cap­ture the world around them with high res­o­lu­tion 3D panoram­ic images.

Our Ein­scan Pro scan­ner deliv­ers scans with a res­o­lu­tion of up to ¹⁄₂₀ mm, and cap­tures colour and texture.

Our new Wabeco Mill can machine com­po­nents in a wide range of met­als and oth­er high den­si­ty mate­ri­als to very high tolerances.

The CNC machine is a sub­trac­tive process and works by cut­ting an form from a sol­id block of material.

The CNC router can cut, engrave and machine larg­er forms, with a cut­ting area of 2440mm x 1220mm (8ft x 4ft)

Our laser cut­ters can cut through or engrave many mate­ri­als such as paper, card, per­spex, acrylic, cot­ton, felt and plywood.

Our vinyl cut­ter allows you to cre­ate made-to-mea­sure signs, stick­ers and decals.

A range of 2D and 3D design soft­ware is avail­able to access by Fab Lab users, guid­ed with the exper­tise of the staff.

The Uni­for­ma­tion GK2 resin 3D Print­er deliv­ers con­sis­tent­ly reli­able per­for­mance and can pro­duce extreme­ly detailed, com­plex 3D objects.
