Dear Students,
Here are some model making material resources for you, places where you can order needed materials online, tool suppliers, 3D print services, and laser cutting services. Some of these resources might be overseas, so careful planning might be required on your part so you have all the necessary materials for the classes you are enrolled in before they begin. Almost all of these places ship worldwide please make sure that the goods you order can be shipped to your location. All materials and tools you need for a course should be listed in the course. Please also talk to your Faculty about which tools or materials make sense to get.:
