About Us
What is A Makerspace?
The CCI Makerspace is a place for UNC Charlotte community members to freely explore fabrication technologies and make things that interest them. We have 3D printers, laser cutter, sewing machines, electronics, and offer training, workshops that center around these technologies and what you can do with them, free of charge.
We provide filament for our 3D printers, but we require users to bring their own materials for the Epilog Laser Engraver. Please see our equipment page for more information about our space!
If you are interested in fabrication, have an idea for something you want to make or are curious about what goes on here, stop by! Training signups are located on our homepage.
