Digital Fabrication (CARP 224) at
Laney College is in introduction to using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM.)

Tools at the FabLab include laser cutters, 3D Printers, CNC Machines, Water Jet Cutter and a Vinyl Cutter. The year long class culminates in a one sheet of plywood Design/Build project where each student gets a sheet of plywood and has full creative control to make whatever they want from it with the tools available in the FabLab.
