MAKE Roanoke
Welcome to MAKE Roanoke. We are a non-profit community makerspace in Roanoke, VA featuring a wood shop, metal shop, fiber arts studio, 3D printing, laser cutting, and electronics lab. We are a community-based organization run entirely by volunteers.
What is a Makerspace?
A makerspace is a community-oriented workspace where people can come together to create, learn, and share. MAKE Roanoke has a wide range of tools and equipment available for use, including 3D printers, woodworking tools, electronics equipment, metal working tools, and sewing machines.
