What do we do?

Here is your on-campus makerspace. 

We enable people on campus with tools, space & skills to exact their engineering related creativity: electronics, robotics, CAD modelling, radio & so much more... 
With 3D printing available to all members & workshops, we bring aspects of engineering to everyone, not just people going doing the degree. 

We work alongside the Electronic Engineering Department and Institute of Engineers & Technology to provide many opportunities. 

Workshops

Many of the following is covered in our workshops:

  • Soldering

  • Embedded Systems Programming

  • Robotics / Control Engineering

  • CAD & CAM - 3D & 2D Modelling, 3D Printing & Laser Cutting

Access Hours

As members, you can access the SHILLING-1-06 electronics lab during our set access hours, as long as there is any staff & committee present. 

Getting my designs fabricated

Okay. Firstly, you want to become a member. 

From there, email us the 3D model in STL at makers@royalholloway.su & we will work with you to establish the needs of the file. 

In some cases, the file may be too large for our printer, in both materials or time. In these case, a "Large Print Charge" may need to be bought for us to print it.

We offers two types of memberships, the standard membership and the associate membership. And here are the details:
