Materials/Supplies + External Services

Fab Lab users are responsible for supplying their own materials for the majority of tasks. For small tasks, however, we might have surplus materials available for use; please ask.

Within Knoxville and surrounding areas, we are fortunate to have suppliers for most of the necessary items. This list will help you locate the relevant supplies for your needs. If you plan to have materials delivered, you must comply with the Fab Lab Materials Delivery Policy. Failure to follow the policy will result in refusal to accept materials.

Fab Lab Personnel

The Fab Lab is staffed by a team of expert fabricators, each with their own diverse skillsets to provide users a safe, effective lab experience. The Fab Lab is lead by Fabrication Director  Craig Gillam .  A dozen trained student workers are on hand, as well, to help students and faculty use the technology correctly and safely.
