Welcome to Fab Lab Adelaide

Fab Lab Adelaide is a volunteer run, digital fabrication workshop and home to a diverse community of people with a passion for making things, and who want to share that passion with others. First established in 2012 by the Australian Network for Art & Technology, it is now managed by South Australian Makers Inc.

Equipped with a selection of desktop 3D printers, a Trotec laser cutter and additional complimentary digital tools and software, the Lab is built on the idea of connected creativity or the bringing together of makers to learn, explore, educate and fabricate.

To help us pay our rent and maintain the machines and buy new tools and equipment we charge $5 each time you use the Lab. Basic materials are also available to purchase.

Get Involved

To be come a user of Fab Lab Adelaide we usually require you to undertake an induction with one of the volunteer team members. We currently however have a freeze on our induction processes while we go through some updates and changes, coupled with a planned move to a bigger, better premises in the coming months.

Therefore in the meantime, feel free to call in to the Fab Lab during our open access sessions and identify yourself to one of the volunteer team who will be happy to talk you through the equipment we have and help get you started.

Our open access sessions are on Thursdays, 3pm – 8pm* and Saturdays 11am – 3pm and operate on a first-come, first-served, shared basis.

St Paul's Creative Centre

200 Pulteney Street, Adelaide 5000

We’re located in the St. Paul's Creative Centre on the corner of Pulteney & Flinders streets with the main entrance facing Pulteney. There are two doors into the building - you'll want to take the left hand (black) one that is set back as indicated in the diagram and not the (now brightly decorated) door shown in the centre of the image below. If the door is shut please ring the bell, otherwise the Lab is straight down the corridor in front of you when you come in.
