Use 3D printing, digital cutting, robotics and other forms of tech-based fabrication to make computer-accurate and complex items that may not be possible by hand.
MakeIT At Libraries
We provide complete facilities and guidance for anyone to come and try their hand at new tech-based fabrication technologies, such as 3D printers, digital cutters, robotics and more. We offer a range of easy-to-understand Starter workshops where no expertise or experience is required.
All workshops and materials are available for free, for NLB members. Members are welcome to use our space and equipment to work on their personal projects and ideas.
For safety, equipment and programmes are recommended for ages 15 and above.
Signature Learning Areas
Learn about these ways of using technology to create and fabricate!
- 3D Printing
Learn to create and edit 3-dimensional virtual designs, and ‘print’ them out into actual physical items by using 3D printing machines. - Robotics & Coding
Use robotic kits and microcontrollers to create commands for a smart robot. No coding experience needed. - Digital Cutting
Create complex shapes with high accuracy using digital cutter machines to cut paper, wood, and other sheet materials with computerised precision. - Sewing
Use electric sewing machines beyond basic fabric work, and integrate technology for digital wearables with LEDs, sensors and more. - Upcycling
Learn about materials, DIY tips and prototyping, to ‘hack’ existing items for new purposes. Innovate by using things around us as materials for your own creations, repairs and home-hacks.
