The Morson Maker Space

Located in the Basement of the Newton Building, we are free for all staff and students at the University of Salford to use for academic work, research, personal projects, and product prototyping.

Coronavirus Information

The way you use the Maker Space has changed. For more information, see our dedicated Coronavirus page.

Capabilities

As a rule we don't purchase equipment that we can't teach students or staff to use. Drop in to work on personal projects, product prototypes, academic work or just to hang out.

  • 3D Printing

    We have a variety of 3D printers available to facilitate rapid prototyping and model making.

  • Laser Cutting

    CO2 Laser Cutters let you quickly cut and engrave plastic and wood with remarkable precision.

  • Waterjet Cutting

    For harder materials like steel and aluminium you can use the 5-axis Waterjet Cutter to realise your designs. We can even cut less resistant materials like carpet and foam!

  • Electronics Prototyping

    Grab an oscilloscope and track down a tricky problem, or start from scratch with one of our beginner Arduino courses.

  • CNC machining

    Training is available on preparing files for our Haas CNC mill which is capable of milling aluminium and steel with ease.

  • Inspection & Reverse Engineering

    Take a closer look at the physical world with our high-powered microcopes, 3D-laser scanner and Co-ordinate Measurement Machine.
