# ToMorrow Lab ## ToMorrow Lab - [ToMorrow Lab](https://www.mrmansfield.org/tomorrow-lab.md): Welcome to the ToMorrow Lab, any questions or concerns can be directed to Rich Mansfield at rmansfield@creightonprep.org - [Calipers](https://www.mrmansfield.org/tomorrow-lab/calipers.md): Calipers are great for measuring anything(well less than about 6 inches) Though the video below shows TinkerCad, you can use them in any program. - [3d Printers](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers.md): In the ToMorrow Lab we have a 4 different 3-D printer systems - [Design for 3D printing](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing.md): There are a lot of ways to design something to be 3D printed. However, you must have a 3D model (either you made, or found) to slice( how we tell the printer how to make each layer) - [TinkerCad](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/tinkercad.md): A simple option - [Shapr3D](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/shapr3d.md): Shapr3D is a CAD(Computer Aided Design) program which is available on Computers and iPads. When used with an iPad it is necessary to use a Stylus or Apple Pencil. YOU CAN NOT JUST USE YOUR FINGER. - [Fusion 360](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/fusion-360.md): Fusion 360 is a professional level CAD/CAM program with many, many add-ons. Out of the options listed here it is the most robust. You can use Fusion online or as a program. - [OnShape](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/onshape.md): OnShape is an online CAD Program - [Thingiverse and other online resources for STL's](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/design-for-3d-printing/thingiverse-and-other-online-resources-for-stls.md): Not usually the best option! - [Prusa](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/prusa.md): The 4 black and orange printers in the lab are Prusa Printers - [Stratasys](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/stratasys.md): The Stratasys is a large high quality 3D printer. It works really well, and is easy to use. - [Form Labs](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/form-labs.md): Form Labs is a Resin Printer in the lab. It uses a liquid resin which is photo-reactive and lasers to create very finely detailed 3D prints. - [PreForm Software](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/form-labs/preform-software.md): The slicing software for the Form lab printer is called PreForm. - [Resin rinse](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/form-labs/resin-rinse.md): After your print is done, it is still covered in a film of resin, we need to remove the resin in a Alcohol bath. - [Curing](https://www.mrmansfield.org/3d-printers/form-labs/curing.md): Though our Resin cured in the printing process, it is not entirely cured yet - [Laser cutters](https://www.mrmansfield.org/laser-cutters.md): We have 2 different Laser cutters at Prep, an Epilog 60 Watt Fusion 36, and a United Laser Systems (ULS) 50 Watt Laser. To use either laser you need a vector based file to print. - [Vector Graphics](https://www.mrmansfield.org/laser-cutters/vector-graphics.md): You need vector based drawings to create paths for many machines in the lab. Laser cutter, CNC machines, Waser water jet, and others - [Adobe Illustrator](https://www.mrmansfield.org/laser-cutters/vector-graphics/adobe-illustrator.md): Adobe Illustrator is the main tool we will use to create vector graphics in the ToMorrow Lab - [CAD programs](https://www.mrmansfield.org/laser-cutters/vector-graphics/cad-programs.md): You can use the programs you use to make 3D models to make drawings called DXF. - [Epilog](https://www.mrmansfield.org/laser-cutters/epilog.md): Epilog 60Watt 24x36 bed - [ULS](https://www.mrmansfield.org/laser-cutters/uls.md): 50 Watt 32x18 bed - [CNC](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc.md): We have various CNC equipment - [EZ router](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/ez-router.md): 48x96 router (the big green one) - [Using VCarve](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/ez-router/using-vcarve.md) - [Using Fusion](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/ez-router/using-fusion.md): If you learned Fusion 360 it is really pretty easy to make Gcode for the router(or mill, wazer, lathe, 3d printers, and laser cutter) - [Bantam CNC](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/bantam-cnc.md) - [Intelitek Mill](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/intelitek-mill.md) - [Wazer Water Jet](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/wazer-water-jet.md): Use high pressure water and sand to cut just about anything - [CNC Lathe](https://www.mrmansfield.org/cnc/cnc-lathe.md) - [Wood Shop](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop.md) - [Bandsaw](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/bandsaw.md): The bandsaw is the most frequently used tool in the wood shop. - [Drill press](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/drill-press.md): The Drill press is a very versatile tool - [Mitre saw](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/mitre-saw.md): Sometimes improperly called a chop saw. This tool is good for cutting longer pieces and making angles - [Table saw](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/table-saw.md): A very useful tool - [Wood Lathe](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/wood-lathe.md): This tool is able to make round objects - [Handsaws](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/handsaws.md): Hand saws are great - [JigSaw](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/jigsaw.md): The jigsaw is wonderful - [Sanders](https://www.mrmansfield.org/wood-shop/sanders.md): Power sanders save a lot of time - [Metal shop](https://www.mrmansfield.org/metal-shop.md) - [Horizontal Bandsaw](https://www.mrmansfield.org/metal-shop/horizontal-bandsaw.md) - [Mini Mill](https://www.mrmansfield.org/metal-shop/mini-mill.md) - [Brake, Roller,Shear](https://www.mrmansfield.org/metal-shop/brake-roller-shear.md) - [TIG welder](https://www.mrmansfield.org/metal-shop/tig-welder.md) - [Vinyl Cutter](https://www.mrmansfield.org/vinyl-cutter.md): The vinyl cutter will let you make stickers and iron ons.
