Fabrication Guide
Think Make Studio is a 2D fabrication workshop.
Two-dimensional (2D) fabrication involves the process of cutting a pattern out of a flat piece of material then assembling the parts to create three-dimensional mechanisms. A wide range of materials can be used, however we mostly stick to using woods and plastics and keep a variety of each on hand for you to choose from when making your design.
Each session will have set parameters for the overall size and weight of your final product. Check out each session's description for more details.

Material Stock
We keep a wide variety of sustainably sourced materials for you to choose from when making your design. We will work with you to determine the best materials to achieve your design's goal. Example materials include: Hardwoods and softwoods of different colors and grains. Clear and opaque acrylics.
CNC Machining
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is a manufacturing process that uses pre-programmed software to control machines and tools to create parts and products from raw materials.
Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a non-contact process that uses a laser to cut materials by vaporizing them. The laser beam is directed through a nozzle to the material, where it heats the surface to the point of melting or vaporization, creating a cut edge.
