What do we do?

We enable people on campus with tools, space and skills to exact their electronic and fabrication related creativity. 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. An on campus makerspace.

 

Workshops

Many of the following is covered in our workshops:

  • Soldering
  • Embedded Systems Programming
  • Robotics / Control Engineering
  • CAD - 3D & 2D Modelling
  • CAM - 3D Printing & 2D Laser Cutting

 

Access Hours

As a member, you can access the SHILLING-1-06 electronics lab during our set access hours, as long as there is at least one technician / teaching staff present.

 

Getting my designs fabricated

Okay. Firstly, you want to become a member.

From there, email us the 3D model 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.
