About the Mobile Fab Lab
Our Mobile Fab Lab provides access to the same equipment as our stationary lab, but at a smaller scale.
The lab is pulled by our pickup truck and can be powered either through the host’s building or via the generator we provide. Our electrical plug for the power hookup is 220 volts/50 amps. The cord that we provide is 25 feet long and has a 3 pole 4 wire grounding plug that requires a 14-50R outlet.
We provide:
- In-service training for teachers prior to the lab visit
- Pennsylvania certified instructors

- Large computerized numerical control (CNC) router: the ShopBot
- 3D desktop mill and scanner
- Vinyl cutter
- Laser engravers
