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 Winter
2026 Lab Schedule here.
