# NExT Lab

Welcome to the **NExT Lab Knowledge Base.** The NExT Lab is a technology-focused maker space that provides hands-on access to new disruptive technologies in design, along with support, training and education to integrate this tech into your design projects.

We are home to the faculty's FDM **3D Printers**, **3D Scanning,** and **Mixed Reality** equipment.
