About us

The Design Fabrication Zone (DFZ) at Toronto Metropolitan University is an interdisciplinary incubator dedicated to uplifting creative practice and entrepreneurship in design and fabrication. Through educational workshops, public programming and membership, the DFZ empowers its community to transform early-stage ideas into tangible prototypes, installations, and businesses.

Our member-based services and mentorship connect our growing community of local makers with the digital fabrication and professional development resources they need to excel. Students, faculty, and the greater public are all invited to incubate thier work with us.
