The answer to this question depends on what sort of fabrication you are doing.
We maintain a stock of some 3D printing filaments, wood, thread, etc., but you'll want to check in with the shop that you're using to see what we have and what you'll need to bring in.
- For 3D printing, it is printer dependant - check in with Pat Maguire.
