Field Trip: Artisan’s Asylum

This week the Bray Lab staff and summer interns visited Artisan’s Asylum, a non-profit community fabrication center in a 40,000 square foot warehouse located in Somerville.

We got a chance to checkout the setup of their equipment stations:

Artisan’s Asylum – Soldering Station

Artisan’s Asylum – Jewelry Station

Artisan’s Asylum – Casting Room

as well as their storage methods:

Artisan’s Asylum – Vertical Storage

We met the Overhaul robot featured in BattleBots and spoke with one of its makers.

We checked out some of the builds to gain inspiration for projects in Bray.
