Laser cutting requires advanced clearance due to the fire risk and complex workflows involved. Time is scheduled and billed in 15-minute increments for the duration you occupy the machine — so prep your files ahead of time and arrive ready to plug and play to save.

The CNC router requires one-on-one checkout or instructor-led course clearance. Time is scheduled and billed in 15-minute increments, and includes the clean-up time needed to leave the machine ready for the next user.

Bring your own endmills to be sure you have exactly what your project needs (⅛" or ¼" cylindrical shafts, at least 0.75" long, rated for at least 18,000 RPM). The makerspace provides some endmills, but broken endmills are the user's responsibility to replace.
