We have two laser cutters where you can cut wood and some plastics. Unfortunately they're not advanced enough to take over the world.
Training is required to use these machines. Members get a set amount of free time on the lasers each month. Members can pay for additional time.

This is an open area with extra space so you can work on larger projects. Need to work on your car in the middle of a snowstorm? We've got you covered.
