YOU CAN CREATE ALMOST ANYTHING
IN THIS UNIQUE MAKERSPACE
The Fab Lab, short for fabrication laboratory, is a unique workshop with digital
fabrication tools to bring your ideas to life. It is the only makerspace of its kind
in Northwest Arkansas. Its mission is to give people access to the resources they
need to learn, innovate and invent using technology.
WHAT’S INSIDE
Inside the Fab Lab, you’ll find laser cutters, art supplies, computers, 3D printers,
shop tools, a vinyl cutter and a 3D body scanner. You can use it all to make (almost)
anything! Use the vinyl cutter to make signs, logos and t-shirt designs. The 3D body
scanner can take a full body image of a person to print into a custom figurine.
WHO CAN USE IT
The makerspace is open to students, families and anyone else in the community. Its vision is to encourage
entrepreneurship and advance careers in science and technology while creating a new generation of inventors and
artists. If you’d like to create something but aren’t sure how to start, classes on 3D printing, programming and painting
can help. The Fab Lab’s goal is to spark creativity and help people share ideas and make new things. One example is the
Fab Lab’s own LED light garden. Students and teachers from the Fayetteville Virtual Academy and other makers created a
one-of-a-kind interactive light garden displayed in the outdoor courtyard each evening.
