Purchasing from the Machine Workshop
The Machine Workshop has a range of free materials including ply wood, softwood and some hardwood. If you're working on something small you may find everythign you need in the workshop.
In addition to our free materials we have a selection of hardwoods that are available for purchase. These can include walnut, American oak, maple, Tasmanian Oak and American ash. This list is constantly changing so speak to the staff before planning your project.
Purchasing from the Fab Lab
Below is a list of materials that you are able to purchase from the Fab Lab. Check that it's on the Machine Workshop approved materials list before using in the Machine Workshop.
To purchase any of these materials, speak to the Guru working the front desk of the Fab Lab.
Unfortunately, we will not cut down full sheets of material if you wish to purchase a half or a quarter sheet etc. However, we are able to sell remnants from previous CNC and laser jobs as small-sized timber sheets. Please enquire with the Guru about what remnants are available.
