Our professional makerspace supplies everything you need to elevate your craft. We offer expert guidance, reliable equipment, high-quality printing, and business support.
Our on-site staff are highly knowledgeable about the equipment and materials. Their job is to ensure you get the most out of your projects. They’ll provide expert advice and maintain our well-kept machinery for smooth operation.
Between our classes, community, equipment, and experts, NextFab provides everything you could ever need for 2D Printing.
The star of the department is our large-format printer. This machine produces stunning fine art prints, photography prints, and large-scale installations. Even better, these prints are available at a fraction of the cost of alternative businesses. Note: We are not able to 2D print canvas or fabric.
However, the printer is not all we have to offer. As a member, you’ll have access to all our 2D printing machines and tools, including:
Members have access to all the tools at NextFab after completing the proper prerequisite classes or demonstrating proficiency. We also provide certain materials for sale, including wood, metal, print media, hardware, etc.
Our 2D Printing classes teach a variety of relevant skills that will help you master the craft.

Vinyl Printing and Cutting is another hands-on class with a wealth of skills to offer. You will learn how to prepare and finish apparel transfers, banners, decals, and stickers.
A NextFab membership unlocks access to our classes, community, experts, and makerspace. We provide the environment and supply the tools to foster your creativity. You bring your ideas, collaborate with community members, and feed your passions.
