Makerspace Hull
(image credit: Sean
Azzopardi)We’ve been open just over six months now, so it
still feels fairly new, and we’re learning as we go,
but it feels a very exciting thing to be a part of.
“In terms of gear, we’ve got a laser cutter, two
3D printers, a large format printer, a digital cutter,
a dye sublimation printer with heat press, a digital
embroidery machine, as well as all the usual hand
and power tools, soldering irons, and lots of
electronics stuff like Arduino starter kits. There is
also a suite of computers with programs such as
Fusion 360 and the full Adobe package installed
which help people go from idea, through design,
to fabrication under one roof.
“The 3D printers are in fact built in the area, and it’s
really important to us to try and use local companies
and suppliers wherever we can. There are plans to
expand in the near future with a dedicated room for
a CNC machine and also a woodworking room,
which is something a lot of the members have
been requesting.
“Anyone over the age of 16 can become a member
for a small monthly fee – we really try and keep the
costs low to reduce barriers to entry as much
as possible.
