Our fabrication workshop allows you to work collaboratively on big projects.
The fabrication workshop allows students to gain real understanding and appreciation of the design and manufacturing process
In the process students will also gain a variety of practical manufacturing skills. The introduction of CNC equipment in this facility opens up opportunities for rapid manufacture of components from a range of materials for use with student project work from a range of disciplines and for use in the curriculum. In addition this gives the facility modern, industry standard technology with which to support research activities and local industry for engineering innovation projects.
