[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?Safety Resources ==Becoming a member is easyCheck out [[Safety in DaBL]]. There are only two steps:

#Attend an in-person [[Welcome to the Lab]] session, where you will go over the ==Learning Resources==Check out our [[Safety in DaBLKnowledgebase Resources]].#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.
