Learning and Making
Makerspace provides a variety of hands-on instructional services to help UMD students, faculty and staff members learn how to use different equipments and create amazing things.
Check out your current catalog of instructional services, and book a session today!
Step 1 : Book an instruction session
Have the Makerspace staff show you the ropes! Learn how to use our 3D printers, so you can print objects yourself.
Step 2 : Schedule project time
Once you have completed instruction, you are all set to use a 3D printer all on your own! Schedule project time to work on your personal projects using our 3D printers during the open hours.
Step 1 : Book an instruction session
Our new Glowforge laser cutter gives you the ability to cut, engrave and score. If you're new to it, book an instruction session with Makerspace staff to learn some simple best practices before embarking on a project.
Step 2 : Schedule Project Time
If you have already been given instruction by Makerspace staff, or can prove you've completed training at another campus Makerspace, just complete our project request form. We will approve your project, and schedule a time for you to use the equipment.
