All our Maker_Spaces are equipped with PCs and Macs with a variety of software:
- Cura (for use with the 3D printers)
- TinkerCAD
- Meshmixer
- Scratch
- Code Academy
*Please note* We have not been able to renew the original Adobe Creative Cloud software licences on our Maker_Space computers, due to a very large increase in the cost of those licences. However, we are looking to install alternative (freely available) software that we hope will include much of the Adobe functionality, as soon as we can. We apologise for any inconvenience caused in the meantime.
You will also find (not available at all locations – please contact us for details):
- An Ultimaker3 3D printer – there is a small charge for print materials; please see below.
- iPad based 3D scanning equipment.
- robotics and coding equipment.
We also have an A3 large format scanner that can be made available at any location upon request (one-week advanced notice required).
