[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''. This is a space available to all individuals at American University with an active AU ID. There is currently no cost associated with participating in the space, and all consumables are free to use.
