==Welcome to the Design and Build Lab's Knowledgebase! = Project =[http://designandbuildlab.com/ The Design and Build Lab] - also known as DaBL - is a digital fabrication / rapid prototyping / experimentation facility located in the new Don Myers Technology and Innovation Building. Its purpose is to inspire and empower students, staff, and faculty to ''create things to solve problems''. == How do I become a member? ==Becoming a member is easy. There are only two steps:# Attend an in-person [[Welcome to the Lab]] session, where you will go over the [[Safety in DaBL]].# Complete and submit a '''Safety Waiver'''. Everyone (faculty, staff, and students alike) staying in DaBL for more than a tour ''must'' sign a Safety Waiver; you will be given one during the Welcome to the Lab session. == How do I learn how to design and build? ==There are three pillars of knowledge that will help you in your quest:# [[Creative and Technical Specialist|Creative and Technical Specialists]], who help you realize your ideas# [[List of workshops|Workshops]] of two flavors:## '''Tutorials''', which give you an introduction to [[Computer-aided design|CAD]] principles## '''Certifications''', which are an introduction to [[Computer-aided manufacturing|CAM]] principles as well as safety training on a particular machine.# [http://designandbuildlab.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page This knowledgebase], which is a repository of all things Design and Build. == Safety ==All general knowledge about safety can be found on the [[Safety in DaBL]] page. == Knowledgebase resources ==There's lots of exciting stuff to learn.
