Why it’s here

211square feet

Our metals room focuses on the fundamentals: cutting, bending, and joining sheet metal. Students learn the traditional way with a shear, brake, and roll, and the modern way with a fiber laser that welds and CNC cuts, making precise metalwork approachable without years of training. Combined with the electronics area and the next-door finishes room, these basics open the door to serious builds from battle bots to bike frames.
