Materials


 

Fab Lab Tulsa's machinery works with a wide range of materials from plastic and wood to composites and metals.

 


Lab Furnished Materials

 

Members are able to utilize some free materials provided by the lab in moderation. Most projects have member furnished materials.

 


Member Furnished Materials

 

Member furnished materials must satisfy the following requirements:

     1) materials must be compatible with Fab Lab Tulsa's machinery and PPE

     2) materials must not present a hazard to the lab environment. 

 

Members are expected to clean up, discard and/or remove waste material from their fabrication activities before leaving the lab.

 


Lab Sold Materials

 

Some machinery will be entirely restricted to using material purchased directly from Fab Lab Tulsa's online portal.

This is to assure the machines operate in a safe and predictable manner.
