Fabrication Tools:

  • 3D Printers:These machines create physical objects from digital 3D models.
  • Laser Cutters:They use a laser beam to cut, engrave, or drill patterns onto various materials.
  • CNC Machines:(Computer Numerical Control) are machines controlled by computer software that can perform various machining operations like milling, drilling, and cutting.
  • Vinyl Cutters:These machines use a small blade to cut out designs from sheets of vinyl, fabric, or other materials.

Electronics Tools:

  • Soldering Irons:Used to connect electronic components by melting solder to create a permanent electrical joint.
  • Microcontrollers:Small, programmable computers used to create electronic circuits that can interact with sensors and actuators
  • Breadboards:Temporary platforms used to prototype electronic circuits without soldering.
  • Multimeters:Electronic measuring instruments that combine several functions like measuring voltage, current, and resistance.

Woodworking Tools:

  • Miter Saws:Power saws used to make precise angled cuts in wood.
  • Table Saws:Power saws with a flat table that allows for precise cuts in wood.
  • Drill Presses:Stationary drill machines for precise drilling in wood.
  • Sanders:Power tools used to smooth rough surfaces on wood.

Textile Tools:

Other Categories:

  • Rapid Prototyping Tools: Machines used to create physical models from 3D designs quickly, like 3D printers but may use different technologies.
  • Microphones & Audio Equipment:Used for recording and manipulating sound.
  • Power Tools: A wide range of electric tools used for cutting, drilling, sanding, and shaping various materials.
