Madison Sandbox: Fabrication

Fabrication

Button Makers (1" and 2.25")

Button makers press an image onto a metal backing and seal it with a plastic cover. For instructions, see the tutorial guide. If jammed or stuck, alert Makerspace staff or label it as out of order and email omurray@berkeley.edu.

Heat Press

The heat press bonds heat-transfer materials to fabric. Set the temperature and time using the digital screen. Refer to the quick guide or ask staff for help with settings.

Binding Machine

This machine punches holes and attaches spiral bindings. It can handle up to 25 sheets at once. Use a binder clip to align pages, then trim excess binding with wire cutters from the tool cabinet.
