MAKE Roanoke
MAKE Roanoke is a non-profit community makerspace, offering a 2000 square foot workshop with tools of all kinds for making almost anything you can think of. We are run entirely by volunteers, and host several classes a month in addition to community meetings!
Our wood shop is nearly 600 square feet, and features a SawStop table saw, a Shapeoko 4XXL CNC Router, and many tools not found in most garages, including a jointer, a planer, a router table, a drum sander, a miter saw, a band saw, a drill press, and more!
Get your stitch on in our Fiber Arts Studio. At around 400 square feet, members can use our sewing machines, embroidery machines, our light industrial Sailrite machine, our serger and our coverstitch machine! We also have very large tables and cutting mats that are great for cutting out your next project!
Our Lab is over 300 square feet of pure technology. With both FDM and Resin 3D Printers, including a Bambu X1C that can print in multiple colors, an Electronics Station featuring soldering irons and a Reflow Oven, and a CO2 Laser Cutter, members can prototype their next project with precision.
A haven for machinists, our Metal shop is over 350 square feet and features a Bridgeport milling machine and a small lathe, as well as a horizontal bandsaw. Precision measurement equipment will ensure your project is accurate down to the ten-thousandth of an inch! We also have welding equipment!
