Fabrications

PROJECT TYPE: INTERNSHIP REFLECTION
A Document of processes learned while working as a fabrication technician in a makerspace



Through the duration of summer 2023, I explored a range of techniques in making. As a technician assistant and machinist, I became confident with the spectrum of tools in our fabrication lab. Besides experimenting in the wood and metal shops, I became fluent in running the industrial waterjet, teaching introductory CNC courses, and developing a stained glass workshop for our members.
