Just some of the equipment includes mills, a lathe, a laser cutter, 3D printers, oscilloscopes, MIG/TIG welders, a logic analyzer, along with a complete tool room and much more.
Mountie Makerspace is funded through a $250,000 California Community College Maker grant from California Community College Chancellor’s Office and is part of a statewide effort to development community makerspace programs.
The Mountie Makerspace is free for students. Community members can use the space for the semester by paying a $46 fee. For more information, call Mountie Makerspace at (909) 274-5316 or email: info.mountie.makerspace@gmail.com.
