Dream it. Fabricate it.

Beals Studios houses a wide array of digital fabrication tools, expertise, and a workspace that encourages interdisciplinary collaboration. This includes: eight Ultimaker FDM 3D printers, a Fuse1 SLS printer, three Epilog laser systems, two CNC mills, a desktop waterjet cutter, an industrial desktop vacuum former, and a tinkerspace for working with electronics. Additionally, there are various collaboration work areas, as well as a teaching space with high-end computers, an array of software, and an 84" interactive screen. This is all laid out in one space, allowing for work to flow seamlessly from ideation, to design, to iteration, to re-iteration.
