The Composite Shop provides space and equipment to fabricate projects working with a wide range of materials including resins, acrylics, polyurethanes, silicones, plasters, waxes, and foams. The shop is equipped with designated areas for mixing and casting a variety of flexible materials, allowing the creation of bubble free castings and molds using pressure pots, vacuum chambers, and heat tools. The Composites Shop provides dynamic workspace and handheld tools including dremels, heat guns, foam and mat cutters, and clamps for detailed projects, and houses a spray booth, downdraft table, vacuum former, belt and disc sanders, and band saws for larger assembly and fabrication.

The following tools in the composite shop may not be used without testing and approval. You must be tool tested to use the:

• band saws
• belt and disc sander
• pressure pot
• vacuum former

Even if you are tested on a similar tool in another shop, you must be tested in the composite shop in order to use the composite shop's tool.

Please clean any shop/area after using it! We've got shop vacs all over this place, and they all love to be used :)
