Completing this Lab will allow students across the country the access to technology bringing their computer created designs to life.

We wish that every student had the access to 3-D printers, and other manufacturing pieces-- and now they can, with our Fabrication Lab. 

Located in Columbus, OH, at the PAST Foundation ( www.pastfoundation.org ) our FabLab will be student run and operated, providing opportunities to students across the country. Your student. Simply send your design file to our lab, our students will produce your design, and send the finished product back to your student. 

$5,000 is all we need to complete our Fabrication Lab, and your students can then reap the benefit. 

This isn't just any space. What can we make? What can you dream...?
