MakerSpace
MakerSpace is where you can bring your ideas to life. Our makerspaces include 3D printing, 3D Scanning, lasercutting, woodworking and metal fabrication equipment and are used by SOEDBE students to produce prototypes for coursework and research.
Makerspaces enable students, industry and the community to access rapid fabrication equipment to produce their own prototypes and design projects. Equipment access is subject to induction processes and will have to be facilitated in consultation with WSU staff based on availability.
Currently we are only able to assist community and external projects with 3D printing and laser cutting using the below link.
