Project Questions

What prior knowledge do I need to start a project?

Nothing, all we require is enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. By attending workshops and seeking guidance from student specialists your imagination is the limit in this space.


How much do consumables cost?

For the time being, the DaBL is covering the cost of all consumables (3D printer filament, resistors, button-cell batteries, vinyl, etc.) This means as long as you have an active AU ID you can design and build at the DaBL for no cost!


Other Frequently Asked Questions

When are workshops and tutorials?

All workshops are scheduled on our calendar.


Can I submit a design and have someone 3D print it for me?

No, the Design and Build Lab is an educational space. Therefore, we find it more valuable to teach you the skills necessary and provide a helping hand rather than build products for you.
