Acrylic, plywood, cardboard, hardboard, Yupo paper, chipboard are available for projects on the laser cutters. Materials will be distributed, as needed, at the laser cutters, in Hunt A5B, to IDeATe students for projects related to IDeATe coursework. Although our materials are primarily stocked for laser cutting, they may be used for other IDeATe coursework that does not require laser cutting, e.g. IDeATe wood shop projects. IDeATe does not sell or provide material for non-IDeATe projects.  Materials will be distributed during the normal laser cutter hours of operation.  Email help@ideate.cmu.edu with any questions or special concerns.

If students who do not have laser cutter room access need flat stock materials, they should either go to Hunt A5B and ring the door bell which is placed at the door when the room is staffed -or- email help@ideate.cmu.edu in advance.

Please note:  Consumable materials intended to be used for IDeATe courses are provided at no cost.  If anyone would like to purchase material for a project outside of IDeATe coursework, they should purchase materials at the Art Store or at other local and online sources.
