Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay to have my project manufactured by the machine shop?
Shop manufacturing services are free of charge for undergraduate coursework. Student teams, Capstone projects, and research groups are required to pay for their own materials, unless the shop has the material in stock already.
How will I get billed for materials?
Jobs that require material not already available in the shop will receive a supplier quote from machine shop staff. Students can place the order by contacting the supplier and paying them directly.
How do I submit a work order?
Job requests can be emailed to brian.koren@carleton.ca. For submission requirements, please see Services. Incomplete and/or inadequate submissions may be rejected at the discretion of staff.
Can I use the shop’s tools and machines to manufacture my project myself?
