The MakerSpace consists of a workshop and assembly space for larger projects.  The workshop is equipped with traditional hand and power tools for metal and plastic fabrication and an electronics workbench for assembly of custom devices and circuits.   We also have two 3D printers – an extrusion printer (Ulitmaker S5) and a stereolithographic resin printer (Formlabs Form2), allowing rapid and flexible production of prototypes and components.
