    If you would like to schedule a class/event in the lab please contact the head of the facility.

  • How do I begin my project if I don’t know how to make it?

    We're working on a resource library of videos, manuals, and sample projects to help you learn. 

    A plan is essential to a successful project. Before you come into the lab, please fill out one of the forms to help you get started: KRLL design lab.

    If you find a design you like online, you can fabricate it in the design labs. However, you must recreate it yourself and ensure that you are not infringing on intellectual property rights. Our facilities are for learning. There are online services and local makerspaces that will manufacture online designs for you.

  • When are the labs open for me to work?

    Please see the calendar for open hours this semester.

  • TinkerCad

    Tinkercad is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) program made by Autodesk. It is web-based, meaning that all you need is an internet browser.

    It is taught to students as young as 4th grade and all the way up through adults!

    Tinkercad is simply adding and subtracting shapes—volumetric arithmetic, if you will—along with changing dimensions, relocating, and reorienting the shapes.
