As a supplement to the traditional fabrication tools in the Machining Hub, the Innovation Workshop contains several cutting tools. In particular, our 100W CO2 laser cutter has proven to be a capable workhorse for a variety of compatible substrates ranging from 0.1 to 50 mm thick. We also have a powerful 3-axis CNC that we utilize for in-house machining services, as well as a variety of other niche cutting tools.
