Group session where individuals who have attended the relevant introduction sessions and recieved health and safety training can book to use the equipment/software on our laptops when a member of the team is available to offer technical support & supervise equipment use.
Use of the equipment is free unless it is for business prototyping, in which case this needs to be discussed in advance of your booking and will incur an hourly rate.
Bookings of equipment should be for one machine at a time unless your project has been discussed with us in advance.
All material used in the MakerPlace must be purchased from us unless otherwise agreed in advance.
If you feel you need to learn more about software to use with the equipment in the MakerPlace you may be referred to one of our workshops before attending an equipment booking session.
