The Metal Studio opens in early 2026.
The opening of the Metal Studio for students has been delayed to ensure the implementation of rigorous safety measures. We understand your eagerness to access this exciting new space, and we appreciate your patience as we work diligently to finalise the necessary safety protocols.
Metal Studio Update 12 November 2025
Metal
Work with metal using CNC mills, lathes, and welding stations. Welding is offered by appointment, while CNC and lathe access is reserved for specific supported projects. With expert guidance, you can create precise parts, prototypes, or artistic pieces.
GETTING STARTED
A professional polymechanic will introduce you to the Metal Studio and its machines. To get started, a Makerspace General Introduction is required.
