CSU Bakersfield Fab Lab
A Place Where Ideas Are Turned into Reality
The Fab Lab is a digital fabrication lab open to both students and the public. We have a variety of machines such as laser cutters, 3D printers, and vinyl cutters. Our Fab Lab specialist and interns will help you bring your creations to life.
Our Fab Lab is one of more than 1,600 around the world, all making up a network of makers from different backgrounds. CSUB's lab started in 2014 thanks to funding from Chevron and is the first brick-and-mortar Fab Lab in the CSU and UC school systems.
Find us in the Engineering Complex just north of Parking Lot H. Come stop by during our open hours to learn more or to use the equipment!
