• First time booking? | Select an item at Reserve then scroll down to select a date and time.
• Need Safety Training? Answer YES under the training confirmation question and create two back-to-back reserves to include a training session.
• Need more time than an item permits? First, consult our Tool Time Policy, then create back-to-back reserves. If in doubt, consult with us.
• Contact information is used to inform you in the event a tool malfunction affects your reservation. We do not share information with anyone.
• Other information is voluntary, but helps us understand how we can better serve the campus community in an inclusive and equitable manner.

Sign-up is important, no matter what!

MakerSpace offers 3D Printing, Digital Tools, a Workshop, and several open Workstations that may be used for a variety of purposes. For some, it's obvious why you want to use the Reserve system. Other stations such as Post-Production feel (and are) a lot more informal, and reservation seems unnecessary.

This policy is designed  to ensure everyone has an opportunity to use the MakerSpace:

• 4 HOURS PER TOOL PER DAY: This is permitted for each client, with the exception of resin prints.

• RESIN PRINT RESERVES: An entire day will allow for adequate pre-processing, printing, and clean-up time for most jobs. Overnight printing may be permitted ONLY if you are available for a 9AM clean-up reserve the morning following your printing session. We cannot accommodate overnight weekend resin printing. If in doubt, consult with us.
  
  
• 3D PRINTS UNDER 4 HOURS: Short duration prints can be processed anytime, but reserve should finish by 4PM to allow for any overnight print processing.
  
  
• 3D PRINTS OVER 4 HOURS: Longer duration prints are started no earlier than 1PM to allow after-hours printing. Consult with a monitor if you cannot start a PM job: we can start it for you!
  
  
• 3D PRINTS OVER 16 HOURS: Consult with us to organize a reserve. Weekend printing may be permitted for filament prints.
  
  
• MULTI-PRINT JOBS: Consult with the Program Coordinator for research or class work requiring multiple printing sessions.
  
  
• SIMULTANEOUS RESERVES: Multiple tools may be reserved simultaneously. Consult with us for help planning a multi-tool reserve.
