All your prototyping needs covered
All Hackspace members have access to facilities across both the White City and South Kensington Campuses. These include electrical and mechanical engineering workshops, digital modelling and fabrication spaces (so you can go beyond simple 3D printing), and physical computing workspaces. If you would like to explore the Hackspace before visiting us, you can take a 3D virtual tour around our innovation spaces.
Please note you must be a Hackspace member to access these facilities. We’ve also listed the other requirements, please ensure you’ve met them all before visiting these facilities.
Safety at Hackspace
Your safety is of utmost importance to us and we’re committed to making Hackspace a safe and healthy working environment. As part of our compliance with Imperial College London’s health and safety policy, all our members need to complete a health and safety assessment as part of their induction.
