Maker Network
Connect with maker spaces, share resources, coordinate group buys, and collaborate on open hardware projects.
Maker Spaces & Fab Labs
Directory of physical spaces with 3D printers, CNC machines, PCB equipment, and shared tools.
Project Showcase
Open hardware projects from the community: designs, BOMs, build logs, and lessons learned.
Supply Chain Network
Trusted component suppliers, group buy organizers, and alternatives to hard-to-find parts.
Collaboration Hub
Find project partners, share expertise, coordinate on complex builds, and cross-pollinate ideas.
Funding Resources
Grants for makers, crowdfunding strategies, sponsorship opportunities, and revenue models that work.
Shared Equipment Access
Network for renting time on expensive equipment: reflow ovens, pick-and-place machines, test gear.
How the Network Works
For Makers
Find local spaces with the equipment you need. Join group buys to access better pricing on components. Share your projects and get feedback from experienced builders.
For Spaces
List your maker space and available equipment. Connect with potential members. Coordinate on bulk orders and share maintenance knowledge with other spaces.
Get Involved
The network is being built collaboratively. If you run a maker space, organize group buys, or have connections in the maker community, we want to hear from you.
Reach out via GitHub issues or discussions to help shape what this network becomes.
Building the Network
We're gathering data on maker spaces, building the directory infrastructure, and establishing relationships with suppliers and organizers.
