There are maker spaces devoted to that around the world called “fab labs” equipped with CNRs, 3d printers, welding gear, etc, but the hourly prices are insane. A library seems like the wrong place for that sort of thing but I’m sure the price is right.

This isn't that involved, but they have several FDM printers, a cricut knockoff, several sewing machines, a serger, looms, and some other stuff. Nothing in the way of wood, metal, or pottery but still lots of interesting stuff that wouldn't have been in a library when I was a kid.
