Makerspace

OUR UNIQUE ADDITIVE AND DIGITAL MANUFACTURING HUB IS MADE UP OF THE MAKER SPACE AND THE MORSON ENGINE ROOM, AND IS FUNDED BY THE SALFORD-BASED MORSON GROUP - a global leader in technical recruitment and engineering excellence. In this space you can acquire real-world engineering and digital fabrication skills alongside hands-on training, providing the experience that employers want and need in industry.

THE MAKER SPACE

The Maker Space is an open lab for students to explore digital fabrication technologies. Students have access to 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters and clean working spaces for assembling projects. There is also a dedicated computer suite for 2D and 3D design (CAD) and electronics workbenches.

THE MORSON ENGINE ROOM

The Morson Engine Room is home to heavy duty, industrial-grade machinery and equipped with a waterjet cutter, metal additive manufacturing, large format 3D printing, state-of-the-art digital and optical microscopes and reverse engineering metrology instrumentation. Guided by skilled technicians, students can learn how to use and operate these machines to build skills in relation to design for manufacture, assembly and inspection.
