(readme) About the Digital Fabrication Lab

👋 Hey there! Welcome to the Digital Fabrication Lab — our little playground of ideas and machines. You’ll find us in PR_B401A, high up on the 4th floor of Peckham Road. Before you get started, you will need to go through the induction process:

📘 Read Wiki → 🛠️ Book Induction → 🎒 Learner Access → 🛠️ Project Work → 👑 Experienced Access(then you will get the lab door access🚪 and be able to book the machines slots⏰)

Digital Fabrication Induction

Inductions can be booked via Orb only within the days shown below.
Where to find it: ORB -> Left sidebar 'Menu' icon-> Simple Booking -> Training and Workshops -> Select your preferred session
If you have any questions, please feel free to message Yuwei Chen via Slack.

🚩 Before you come to the induction, please

• Read the Wiki in advance
• Bring your laptop (own or UAL loan)
• Download Bambu Studio for 3d printing. And if you are using the UAL laptop, please open UAL Self Service, search "Bambu Studio", then press Install.

Opening Hours

Please avoid coming to the lab during induction sessions (normally on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons). Experienced users could check the available live slots on ORB and book your slot.

Additional Notes

• The lab begins wrapping up at 16:30. Cleaning starts then, and the lab closes at 16:50. Everyone must leave by that time.

• Each person may use only one 3D printer at a time. You must stay with the printer for at least 15 minutes after the print starts to make sure it is running properly before leaving, unless otherwise agreed with a technician.

• When using the laser cutter, you must not leave the machine unattended. A fire can start within seconds.

• More detailed safety guidelines are posted inside the lab. Please make sure to read them.

Safety & Code of Conduct 🔒

We are strict about safety because it protects everyone.
 At the same time, our team is here to support you.

• Please do not share your access card. The Lab use is limited to inducted CCI students only. If you are helping uninducted CCI students, make sure you are running the machines at all times; they can't operate the machines themselves or access the lab alone.
• Keep tools in PR_401A, they need to stay in the lab for lab maintenance, and please don’t take any tiny tools/equipment/furniture/materials from any other room on the 4th floor, they belong to CCW
• Borrow additional equipment from the GC Kit Room
• Bin the waste, clean your space after use
