Baseline shift

The Typography and Graphic Communication department’s FAB Lab (Fabrication lab) is located in the T3 studio and currently consists of a Cricut maker, laser cutter and toner foiler to aid students in design projects, as seen in the examples below. It is open to adding more machines in the future.

FAB Lab equipment is located on the surface of the wooden drawers of the studio room. Posters and QR codes are present to help in the usage of the machines.

Before using any of the machines, you must attend an induction and read the instructional poster above the machines on how to use them.
