Engineering Fabrication Laboratory

The Engineering Fabrication Laboratory (also known as Fab Lab) is equipped with an array of equipment that are suitable for students’ prototyping work in their design projects. With 3D printers, a laser cutting machine, and a range of cutting and drilling machines, Fab Lab allows students to practice and hone their hands-on skills. Furthermore, Fab Lab aims to be a place where students in NUS can come and work on multi-disciplinary projects, and translate their ideas and research into working prototypes.
