Digital Fabrication Subscription

About

This Subscription grants access to our Digital Fabrication equipment:

• 3D Printing
• CNC Knife
• CNC Router
• Laser Cutters
• Robots

All students enrolled in a design studio* listed below during the Fall and Spring semesters are charged for this Subscription unless that student submits an opt-out survey before the twelfth class day. This survey is sent to the students after studio lottery. Students may subscribe early to access these Services prior to the automatic subscription process. Students not enrolled in a design studio aren't charged for this Subscription automatically and don't need to submit an opt-out survey. Any student who wishes to subscribe can do so at any point in the semester.
