Onsite Training

Anyone in the NCSSM community - faculty, staff, Morganton and Durham residential and online students are welcomed in the Fablab. There are two ways to use our space, through appointment or during our walk-in hours. The FabLab has walk-in hours most weekdays when residential students are on campus. Appointments can be made any time with FabLab employees or TA's by emailing fablab@ncssm.edu or stopping by to visit. Walk-in hours are posted on our Calendar page. In order to use FabLab resources, we ask that you first complete our Tourientation. 

Tourientation is the combination of a tour plus orientation of the FabLab.  Tourientation is a required step for all FabLab users; this includes students, faculty, and staff. After a Tourientation, a member will receive an ID badge and be entered into our Fabnet system. Fabnet tracks user check-ins/check-outs, allows a user to be eligible to borrow equipment, and keeps track of completed training. FabLab TAs are responsible for leading Tourientations for anyone requesting access to the FabLab. Tourientations can be booked through the Koalendar on our website below. After your Tourientation is complete, you can then sign up for other training and events!
