makerLAB

The makerLAB is Longwood Public Library’s makerspace—a place for creativity, experimentation, and hands-on learning. Whether you are interested in designing custom items, learning new technologies, or exploring artistic projects, the space offers tools and guidance to help bring your ideas to life.

During DIY sessions, you can reserve time to use the equipment and work independently on your own projects. If you would like more guidance, we encourage you to register for one of our makerLAB programs, where staff provide step-by-step instruction and support as you learn new skills.

The makerLAB is equipped with:

• Four 3D printers
• Sewing machines
• An embroidery machine
• Button makers
• Inkjet printer
• Sublimation printer
• Cricut Makers
• Cricut Mug Presses
• Two Cricut Auto Presses
• MacBooks for designing makerLAB projects
   

You may make an appointment to use the equipment and bring your own materials, or purchase a makerLAB Kit that includes all the materials needed to complete a project.

Adult Longwood Public Library cardholders in good standing can submit files to be printed in the color of their choice on our 3D printers by filling out this Print Request Form. We will take custom and premade designs from Thingiverse, Yeggi, STLFinder, and more.  Learn all about 3D printing here.

Printing fees are $1.00 per hour or $0.50 per 30 minutes. Print jobs are printed with Ultimaker PLA filament, a plant-based, biodegradable material.
