The UC Davis Prototyping Lab is a dedicated space for design students to bring their ideas to life through laser cutting, 3D printing, and electronics projects. This lab is reserved for classes and coursework specifically designed around prototyping and hands-on making.

To use the lab, students must first complete required training, either as part of their enrolled classes or during scheduled open training sessions.

We recommend making an appointment to ensure access to the equipment and space. However, please note that students working during class hours have priority use of the lab. Check the Fall 2025 Lab Schedule here.
