Any Edinburgh University staff or students who wish to gain access and be allowed to use the Makerspace workshop (Room 1.11) in the main library must first complete an in-person induction which covers information about the makerspace and essential health and safety guidance.
This induction does not go into any specific detail on how to use any particular piece of makerspace equipment.
Inductions last ~35 minutes and run every weekday. You can book a place in one here
Optional induction follow up training
Every induction is immediately followed by a 45 - 60 minute specific equipment training for which, by signing up to an induction, a space will automatically be kept for you (but your attendance is optional).
Please see our event booking calendar to determine the specific training on the day of your induction, but in general:
Monday 3D Printing or CNC Milling
Tuesday 3D Scanning: Einscan (Objects) or LIDAR (Environments)
Wednesday Soldering
Thursday Soldering
Friday 3D Printing
Please note, for anyone who doesn't yet know much about the space or what they want to work with or for those whom are already very proficient with the equipment they wish to use and don't feel they need extra guidance, the follow-up training is optional and you do not have to attend.
However you cannot use the laser cutter or soldering equipment in the makerspace without completing the training.
