IDM Design Lab
The Design Lab is IDM’s lab for physical prototyping and fabrication. You can find 3D printers, laser cutters, paper cutters, a CNC printer and sewing machine, as well as an assortment of tools and electronic and soldering kits. You can sign up for training with the equipment, access instruction manuals and tutorials, and borrow kits and tools from their website. If you need to use the room for your assignment, please make sure you get access or borrow tools well in time to complete your project and return the tools. This is designed to supplement the NYU Makerspace, which you should also be trained at.
Printing @ NYU
There are two B&W laserjet printers in Room #325, i.e. the shared studio space opposite the kitchen. The IDM Print Service can take print requests for large format and high quality color prints. It is highly recommend that you undertake the training necessary to use the IDM printers and familiarize yourself with them – the printers in the studio are exclusively for student use and can accommodate a large range of print formats. The print lab is well equipped with color laserjet, large format and risograph printing – please make sure, however, that you send your prints well ahead of time, at least 2 business days before you need it.
NYU also has various print stations across the Washington Square and Brooklyn campuses, and in the libraries. You can find out more on where the various printing locations are and how to send prints at the NYU Print Services website.
