- Equipment Status (experimental page; may not be accurate)
- Infrastructure
- Things and stuff --- locator for smaller items
How does Makespace work?
The space is great for individuals wanting to experiment, startups or companies wanting access to prototyping equipment, companies in the business who can come and do training and provide services beyond Makespace, and groups that want space to meet. Anyone who could benefit from a shared space focused on making things.
At its core is a membership-based structure; the price of membership is £40/month inc VAT for full membership for 24/7 RFID access, or £33/month inc VAT for full student membership (no access outside of Cambridge university terms).
It is a community run space; see:
- Makespace Main Website
- Membership and inductions
- Useful makespace info for Members
- Policies - ie how stuff works
- Latest member news - a great place to start if you want to find out what's been happening lately or what's coming up
- Non-exhaustive list of people currently involved. Members are encouraged to post their details on the wall in the Makespace classroom. See also members wall
