Solutions / Maker Spaces

    Built for
    Open-Access
    Labs.

    University maker spaces, fab labs and student innovation hubs run differently to classrooms. Mixed skill levels, 24/7 access, sustainability mandates, and one technician trying to keep twenty printers alive. We supply the fleets, fix what breaks, and close the loop on the waste.

    What Maker Spaces Actually Need

    Fleet that survives

    Printers chosen for repairability and uptime, not spec-sheet flash. With insured technicians on call.

    Materials for any project

    From first-year PLA prototypes to engineering composites — one supplier, one invoice, slicer profiles included.

    Closed-loop sustainability

    Doorstep pickup, shredding and remanufacture. Quarterly recycled-kg reports for faculty sustainability KPIs.

    Service Pillars — Maker Space Scope

    Filament

    PLA, PETG, ABS, and engineering composites on ECO refills — sized for high-volume student throughput.

    Open

    Hardware

    Enclosed printers built to survive untrained users, with AMS for multi-material student projects.

    Open

    3D Printer Repair

    Priority repair, calibration and major service to keep the lab open through semester.

    Open

    3D Print Service

    Overflow capacity for end-of-semester crunches and oversized student builds.

    Open

    Design & Fabrication

    Optional CAD and finishing support for technician-led commissions.

    Open

    Training

    Technician onboarding and student inductions — not curriculum, operations.

    Open

    Recycling

    Closed-loop pickup, shred and remanufacture — with quarterly reporting for sustainability KPIs.

    Flagship Programme

    3D Print Recycling. Made Operational.

    Australia's first end-to-end filament loop — choose, print, bag, book, repeat. Built for labs printing 20kg or more per month. Pickup is free, reporting is included.

    Reporting your faculty will read

    • — Kilograms recycled per quarter
    • — Spool reuse rate vs. cardboard baseline
    • — Material breakdown (PLA / PETG / ABS)
    • — Diversion-from-landfill estimate

    What Operators Brief Us On

    01

    Downtime budget — what happens when a printer dies mid-thesis week.

    02

    Technician handover — getting a new lab tech operational in days, not months.

    03

    Procurement compliance — institutional purchase orders, invoicing, ABN.

    04

    Reporting to faculty — recycled kilograms, throughput, incident logs.

    Brief us on your lab.

    Tell us your fleet size, monthly throughput and sustainability targets. We'll come back with a scoped proposal.

    Design & CAD

    CAD Design for Maker Spaces

    Jigs, fixtures and replacement parts designed to fit your fleet and your members' projects — from a photo, a sample or a sketch.

    Our custom CAD modelling service for maker spaces starts at $165/hr, with fixed-scope design-to-prototype packages from $2,000. Every project begins with a free 15-minute consultation.
