We will give you a tour of the space, and walk you through the sign up process.

Yes, but only as an occasional helper when you need her/him.

If the guest is not working on the same thing/part as the member, she/he will be considered a drop-in member. The associate charge will billed to the member who brought her/him in.

Guest rules:

-The guest must sign the waiver before they enter.

-The guest must always be accompanied by the member who brings her/him in.

-The guest cannot operate machines/equipment/tools.

-Any damage to the space/equipment/personal property/people caused by the guest is the responsibility of the member who brings them in.

Most machines and tools are free for members to use on a first come first serve basis.

The only exceptions are Laser Cutter and Large CNC.

Monthly members have a free daily machine time quota depending on their membership tier.

When members go over their free daily quota, we charge $1 per minute (*tax not included) for using Large Laser Cutter (Trotec Laser Cutter) and Large CNC (ShopBot CNC Router) on top of their membership fee.

We have the design/control software set up on spare computers, so feel free to perfect your files before jumping onto the machine station.

We have another smaller CNC that are free to use for members.

(Another one coming soon.)

Cancelation must be made 3 days before the first day of the next month to avoid being charged for another month.

(If it's your first time doing drop-in, please contact us to book a safety orientation before you come.)

Our open hours work a bit differently than normal business.

During open hours, the door will be unlocked, and the general public can walk in the space for a quick tour.

We will also have staff members at the reception dealing with membership-related stuff, and selling some consumables during that time.

For "Drop-In" and "Hobbyist" members, this is their time to use the space.

For "Full-Time" and "24/7" members, they will be able to unlock the door with their membership card outside the open hours to access the space.

(During their accessing time.)
