Fab Lab You’ve got what it takes to be a maker, and you can prove it in our very own digital fabrication center, the Wanger Family Fab Lab!
In the Fab Lab, guests have the chance to dream, design and create whatever their imaginations can conceive, from tiny game pieces to full-size furniture, using a variety of cutting-edge personal manufacturing techniques, including computer-assisted design, 3D printing, vinyl cutting, laser cutting, digital routing and milling, soldering and embroidery.
Try your hand at the fabrication process: make a sticker, make a circuit, make a plan and see it come to life. View our Fab Lab calendar to decide which lab is right for your group during your next visit to the Museum.
MEMBERS RECEIVE DISCOUNTED TICKETS TO THE FAB LAB AND DISCOUNTED REGISTRATION FEES TO FAB LAB CAMPS.
