Maker Space

The Maker Space is a hands-on area where community members are inspired to build, create, and explore alongside one another. Whether you’re picking up a new skill or bringing a project to life, our tools and equipment are here to help you make it happen. Machines require badging for safety purposes but then are free to use on a first come first serve basis.

*Note* materials used for machines must be provided or purchased.

Available Equipment:

3D Printers – 2x Bambu Lab P2S 3D Printers
3D Scanner
X-Carve CNC Router
Cricut Machines – 2x Cricut cutting machines
Sublimation Printer
Hot Press
Glowforge Pro HD – laser cutter/engraver
