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.

Planned Events & Campaigns

Inter-University Combat Robotics League

The robotics league is coming very soon...
We are pleased to announce the long-waited Battlebot robotics inter-university league. We are currently in the process of planning and organsing the league, as well as building our very own robots. We will be inviting some southern universities nearby.

The league will be held according to the international regulations, standards and rules of a beetleweight combat. If you are interested in the league, please follow our Instagram, Threads, or Facebook, or join our Discord server for any latest updates!
